A Trip to Bolzano Christmas Market
Bolzano Christmas Market is, together with the market in Brixen, the oldest in South Tyrol, having first been held in 1991. Since then each year it has attracted thousands of visitors from near and far every day from the end of November until Twelfth Night (except Christmas Day). The city of Bolzano has held on to the tried and tested since the very first market almost three decades ago: 80 local exhibitors and select local produce all accompanied by excellent musical entertainment. A recipe that always goes down well.
