Linz Main Square Christmas Market

Visit Linz's central square in December if you want a charming Christmas market with a very Olde Worlde atmosphere. The busy square is transformed at this time of year into a festive winter market filled with lovely stalls, bright Christmas lights, and a sizable and exquisitely decorated Christmas tree. One of the best Christmas markets in Austria is made possible by the stunning Baroque structures that surround the area. You'll find yourself in one of the most lovely settings in Linz at this time of year when you combine cheerful holiday music, a winter chill in the air, wonderful fragrances coming from the food vendors, and numerous happy smiles.

Although Austria typically has icy-cold winters, you don’t have to worry about shivering here. There are plenty of market stalls selling all sorts of yummy things to help you warm up. From spiced gingerbread men and deliciously rich raclette cheese to traditional mulled wine and all kinds of different punches, you’ll never stay cold for long.
