A Shopping Experience: 100 Market Stalls

Around 100 market stalls made from timber cover Cathedral Square and Residenz Square. These stalls sell various 'must-have' products. Some of these products are blown glass ornaments, heavenly beeswax and scented candles, and sheep milk soaps that turn your daily shower into an adventure. The German-speaking Christmas markets also sell heart-shaped cookies, which declares love via frosting.

Food Stalls and Desserts

Roasted almonds, chestnuts, and delicious varieties of sausage are some of the delectable diets that the Salzburg Christkindlmarkt serves. Mulled wine enhaced with cinnamon sticks is better than water, and flows like water, stretching your willpower. The market also serves shredded Austrians Pancakes dusted with powdered sugar, and named after former emperor of Austria, Franz Joseph. The market also serves Mozartkugel, a chocolate ball that is proud to have pistachio marzipan as it's prized mousseline.

Things That Are More Fun Than Being a Couch Potato

At the Christkindelmarkt in Salzburg, shopping and eating food are just part of the experience. Instead of freeze frames of shoppers in the market, they calendar other activities such as choirs and the Krampus Parades. Krampus is a creature who is a bit of a psycho that is a part of the partner that Santa employs, has a soft soul. The choirs meet every Tuesday and sing, and every Wednesday, wind musicians play from the tower above the square. It might sound a bit pretentious, but it is magical. Every Sunday at 4 PM, the Christ Child greets the angels. Depending on your Christmas spirit, this might be a bit overwhelming, but it is pretty adorable.
