Christkindl Market Linz

Against the picturesque backdrop of Linz's main square, framed by magnificent Baroque and Gothic buildings, a special magic comes to life each year from mid-November through Christmas Eve: the Linz Christmas Market. As a traditional highlight of the pre-Christmas season, this market draws visitors from near and far to immerse themselves in a festival of the senses and contemplation..

The main square in Linz, once the hub of urban life, offers the perfect stage for this annual spectacle with its expansive space and the historic Holy Trinity column at its center. The organizer, the Linz Tourism Association, brings its extensive expertise in organizing and staging large-scale events to make the Christmas Market an unforgettable experience.

The market area stretches across the entire main square, with the stalls artfully blending into the existing architecture to form a harmonious unity with the square and its striking buildings. The Holy Trinity column, a Baroque masterpiece, majestically presides over the colorful hustle and bustle, giving the market a sublime and festive atmosphere.

Visitors can look forward to a variety of special features: handcrafted Christmas decorations, handmade gift ideas, and the odd curiosity that can only be found at this market. But it's not just a feast for the eyes – the scents and flavors of roasted almonds, gingerbread, punch, and mulled wine are particularly enchanting in the cold air.

At the Baroque crafts market, which puts traditional craftsmanship in the spotlight, visitors can watch artisans at work and purchase unique items.

For the palate, the market offers a selection of traditional delicacies such as sausages, regional cheese specialties, and sweet treats. These culinary delights are accompanied by a selection of warming drinks, from classic punch to sophisticated mulled wine variations.

The Linz Christmas Market is easily accessible – whether on foot, by bicycle, public transport, or car, its good connections make visiting straightforward.

The Christkindl Market will take place on 32 days from Saturday, 23. November to Tuesday, 24. December 2024 in Linz.
