Innsbruck is home to seven Christmas markets, all within easy reach of each other – a combination you won’t find anywhere else. From mid-November to early January, the traditional market in Innsbruck's historic old town, the family-friendly market on Marktplatz and the city’s highest market at Hungerburg are just some of the places that transform Innsbruck into a sparkling sea of lights. Thanks to the short distances between them, you can even visit all seven markets in a single day. Here is an overview of what makes each market special, when they are open and where to find them.
Seven markets, one Advent: Christmas markets in Innsbruck
From the old town to Hungerburg, Innsbruck’s seven Christmas markets come together to create one magical Christmas experience. If you would like to visit them all, simply follow the “Walk to Explore” route connecting each one.
Innsbruck’s highest Christmas market offers spectacular views of the festively illuminated city: a tranquil spot to linger and soak up the Christmas atmosphere.
Peaceful and atmospheric: enjoy mulled wine and traditional Kiachl with stunning panoramic views. Set between Bergisel Ski Jump and the Capital of the Alps, this market is a wonderfully peaceful setting.
Additionally, December 7 from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and December 8 from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Across the River Inn, away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, the Christmas market in St. Nikolaus invites you to slow down and enjoy Advent at a gentler pace.
The oldest and largest Christmas market in the city: this traditional market in front of the Golden Roof forms the heart of Innsbruck’s Mountain Christmas.
Sparkling lights, tempting aromas, international specialities and magnificent views of the Nordkette mountains: this market brings the diversity of Christmas to life.
Set beside the River Inn, this family Christmas market on Marktplatz square has something for visitors of all ages, including a carousel, puppet theatre and a sparkling Swarovski crystal tree.
All seven markets in one day: 7 km, around 4 hours and a gentle 356 metres of elevation gain – quite literally the best way through Innsbruck’s Mountain Christmas.
