For over twenty years now, the Palace of Hellbrunn and its park have provided a fairytale setting for a magical Christmas scene. The enchanting Christmas market in the south of Salzburg is particularly popular with families.

Advent atmosphere in the Palace courtyard

From mid-November, the inner courtyard of the Palace forms the romantic setting for one of Salzburg's most charming Advent markets. The whole scene is picturesque: more than 700 conifers are decorated with 10,000 red baubles and fairy lights, bathing the entire surroundings in a warm glow. A further highlight is the Palace façade, its 24 windows transformed into a giant Advent calendar.

The fountains in winter

Besides the many huts selling delicacies and crafts, the water-garden is open to the public, offering the magical experience of strolling amid ambient lighting, past baroque grottos to the "Sternweiher" [star pond].

The Children's World of Christmas

The Hellbrunn market caters for children of all ages, with face-painting, the Christmas train, grilling sausages at the campfire – and the Christmas post office, where they can write a letter to the "Christkind" [Christ child] or Santa.

Festive entertainment

Music is part of the atmosphere, with choirs and folk music from Salzburg. The programme also includes traditional "Krampus" events. The former orangery is transformed into an Advent café.
