Klagenfurt Christmas Market on Neuer Platz

If you’re a fan of glittering Christmas lights and festive decorations, you’ll love the Klagenfurt Christmas Market. Almost every inch of this annual market is blanketed in white fairy lights, fake pine branches, and artificial snow. It regularly snows in Klagenfurt in the run-up to Christmas, so the faux snow isn’t always necessary! The largest and most colorful Christmas market in Carinthia, the Klagenfurt Christmas Market boasts over 50 stalls run by all kinds of craftspeople, artisans, merchants, and chefs.

The center of attention in this square is typically the Lindwurm Dragon. The enormous Christmas tree, which is decked out in a variety of lights and ornaments, is the focal point of December, though. Additionally, there is a selfie station where, using the city's free Wi-Fi, you may take a picture and upload it online. Tuesdays at the Christmas market are dedicated to elders, who receive special discounts, guided city tours, and a charming music program. Visit the market in the evenings between Thursday and Sunday to catch live music performances on the main stage if you're looking for something a little livelier.
