Christmas Market in Bressanone
Against the impressive backdrop of the cathedral and Hofburg, the Bressanone Christmas Market is one of the most atmospheric meeting places in the Isarco Valley. From 27 November 2026 to 6 January 2027, the Christmas huts in Cathedral Square celebrate their 35th edition.
The focus is on regional crafts, Christmas decorations and specialities from South Tyrol and the Isarco Valley. The scent of mulled wine, Krapfen and savoury dishes fills the air between the stalls, while choirs, music and other Advent events bring the historic Old Town to life.
Another special experience during the Christmas season is the Light & Music Show at the Hofburg, where light, music and historic architecture come together.

Cathedral Square lies in the heart of the historic Old Town, only a few steps from the cathedral, cloister and Hofburg. This makes the Christmas Market particularly easy to combine with the city’s cultural sights.
