Marktplatz Innsbruck
Marktplatz Innsbruck is a generous square at the heart of the city, surrounded by historic buildings with traditional facades and wooden shutters. The space is defined by cafes, restaurants, and during the Christmas season by colorful market stalls that spread across the entire area.
The square has served as a central location in Innsbruck for several centuries, hosting markets, festivals, and important gatherings. The surrounding medieval and later architecture documents a long history of trade and urban life centered on this spot.
The square reflects the open and friendly character of Innsbruck through its role as a gathering place for locals and visitors. During the holiday season, it becomes a center for community celebration where people share food, music, and traditions in a relaxed setting that brings everyone together.
The square sits in the city center and is easily reached on foot from hotels and transit stops, with clear signage and information points nearby. Cafes have outdoor seating, and the proximity to the market hall makes it simple to take breaks and enjoy the surroundings.
The square features a large Swarovski crystal tree during the Christmas season, decorated with more than 112,000 sparkling crystals and illuminated in a special light show from Friday to Sunday. This glittering installation draws thousands of photographers each year who want to capture this magical moment.

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.
