Bad Ischl - An imperially beautiful Advent and pre-Christmas season

Oh you merry Christmas market of the Ischl craftsmen: Even before the first light on the Advent wreath is lit, the craftsmen open the doors of the historic Trinkhalle for their traditional Christmas market. This Advent, from 22 November to 22 December, Wednesday to Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm, the doors of the Christmas market are open to guests from near and far. You can look forward to original "Handg'machtes" from the imperial city, typical culinary delicacies and an atmospheric supporting programme in the run-up to Christmas. The craftsmen of Ischl are known far beyond the Salzkammergut for their talent for combining the beautiful with the useful - an art that is cultivated here in its most beautiful form and presented in the elegant Trinkhalle during Advent.

Every year from 22 November to 5 January (24 to 26 December closed), a variety of culinary stalls await you in the Schmankerldorf in front of the Trinkhalle. You can savour traditional delicacies on Wednesday/Thursday from 3pm to 9pm and Friday/Saturday/Sunday from 11am to 9pm. The pre-Christmas period is atmospherically framed by brass and string music in and around the Trinkhalle. Enjoy an atmospheric Advent and pre-Christmas season in the imperial city.
