Overview
Join us on a private Christmas market tour from Salzburg and experience the Advent season the way locals do — gingerbread and roasted nuts in the air, Glühwein warming your hands, and market squares glowing under alpine peaks. Your driver-guide picks you up in Salzburg and builds the day around the best markets open on your tour date.
The Christmas Markets We Visit
- Salzburg Old Town — the historic Christkindlmarkt beneath the fortress
- Hellbrunn Palace — the Advent magic in the palace courtyard
- Berchtesgaden Christmas Market, just across the Bavarian border
- The Lake Wolfgang markets: St. Gilgen, Strobl and St. Wolfgang
- Christmas Market of St. Leonhard
- Christmas Market of Fürstenbrunn (the Hunter's Christmas Market)
Not every market is open every day, so we bring you to the best ones available on your tour day — including hidden gems even locals don't know about.
Advent 2026 in Salzburg
The 2026 Advent season runs from the second half of November until Christmas, with some markets continuing into the New Year. December dates fill up first — if you are planning a December trip, September and October are the right time to secure your date.
A Festive Day Through Salzburg and Beyond
Explore the enchanting Christmas markets in Salzburg and beyond on a tailor-made private tour — from the romantic ambiance of Salzburg Old Town to the scenic beauty of Berchtesgaden's market and the lakeside stalls of the Wolfgangsee. Trust us to fill your day with the traditions, flavors and music of an Austrian Christmas.
Make It a Winter Trilogy
The Christmas market tour pairs beautifully with our other seasonal days out: trace the origins of the world's most famous carol on the Silent Night Tour, or glide through snow-covered valleys on the Horse-Pulled Sleigh Tour.
A Magical Christmas Experience!
"This tour was a highlight of our holiday season! The Christmas markets were enchanting, with delicious treats and beautiful decorations. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!" – Emily R., UK
