Bressanone’s Christmas Market unfolds beneath the cathedral towers on Piazza Duomo, with wooden huts selling artisan gifts, tree decorations and regional delicacies.
Expect choirs, brass bands and a leisurely, family‑friendly tempo, plus inviting stands for a steaming vin brulè. The medieval lanes around the square are perfect for a winter wander, and the town’s famous light show and cribs add to the festive mood. As one of South Tyrol’s most picturesque markets, it’s an easy day trip by train from Bolzano and pairs nicely with Merano or Chiusa for a multi‑stop festive weekend.
