The Advent Market at Glockenspielplatz in Graz is an annual event that takes place from mid-November until Christmas Eve, warming the hearts of locals and visitors alike during the cold season. During the festive Advent period, the picturesque Glockenspielplatz in the heart of Graz transforms into a place of contemplative gathering and pre-Christmas joy..

Surrounded by historic buildings, Glockenspielplatz lends a particularly atmospheric vibe to the market. With its characteristic carillon playing melodies three times a day, the square provides the perfect setting for a traditional Austrian Christmas market.

This contemplative market is organized by Graz Tourism, whose expertise lies not only in organizing such events but also in introducing the beauty and cultural heritage of Graz to visitors from around the world.

The market stalls sprawl across the entire Glockenspielplatz, inviting visitors to linger with their diverse offerings. The booths feature homemade handicrafts, perfect gifts for loved ones, as well as Advent market classics like mulled wine and punch, lovingly prepared by local exhibitors. The cozy warmth of these traditional drinks and the scent of roasted almonds and Christmas spices fill the air, creating a snug atmosphere.

What makes the Advent Market at Glockenspielplatz particularly worth visiting is its unique blend of traditional crafts and culinary delights set against the historical backdrop of Graz. A distinctive feature of the market is the carillon itself, with its moving figures and melodic sounds creating an incomparable ambiance.

In addition to mulled wine and punch, traditional treats include gingerbread, roasted chestnuts, cookies, and other sweet delicacies that are indispensable during the Advent season. For savory delights, there are specialties like sausages, cheese, and freshly baked bread.

With its central location, the market is easily accessible, whether on foot, by bicycle, or public transport. Its proximity to Graz's city center makes a visit especially convenient, as one can seamlessly combine a stroll through the market with a city walk or Christmas shopping.
