Mein Beck, Christmas market in Merano, Italy.
Mein Beck is a Christmas market in Merano with over 80 wooden stalls spread across the spa promenade and several public squares. The booths sell handcrafted items, Christmas decorations, warm clothing, and regional winter food specialties.
The market preserves a centuries-old Alpine tradition of winter celebrations that brings together Italian and German-speaking customs in South Tyrol. This blend of two cultural backgrounds shapes the character of the market today.
Local artisans display handcrafted candles, Christmas decorations, and traditional food from South Tyrol, reflecting regional crafting traditions. These products blend Italian and German-speaking influences in ways you can observe directly in the booths and flavors.
The market spreads across several squares in the city center, so walking around to explore all the stalls is worthwhile. You get the best experience in the early hours when it is less crowded and the selection is still abundant.
A separate area offers children an ice skating rink, a petting zoo, and a carousel as a break from the market bustle. This makes the place a family outing where every age finds something to enjoy.

Every year, when the advent arrives, Christmas markets change the squares and old streets of European towns. Wooden stalls are set up and offer local flavors, crafts, and seasonal decorations. Walking from one stand to another, you can taste hot mulled wine, roasted almonds, and see the handmade goods that each region is proud of. In Germany, markets are found in Nuremberg, Dresden, Munich, Hamburg, and Stuttgart. Austria has markets in Vienna and Salzburg. France gathers its markets in Strasbourg, Metz, Montbéliard, and Lille. Brussels, Bruges, and Louvain welcome visitors in Belgium, Maastricht and Valkenburg in the Netherlands, and Wrocław, Krakow, and Poznań in Poland. These places tell stories about their local history and food traditions. From Prague to Budapest, passing through Zagreb, Basel, and Bern, markets are also found in Central and Eastern Europe. Scandinavian cities like Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, and Rovaniemi, along with Riga and Tallinn in the Baltic states, keep this tradition alive. London, Edinburgh, Merano, Asti-Govone, and Madeira finish this winter trip across the continent, each showing how Christmas is celebrated in their ways.
