The Franziskanerplatz Easter Market
The Franziskanerplatz Easter Market is a great place to pick up hand-painted eggs and chocolate treats. As well as some charming trinkets created by locals, you’ll also find delicious seasonal food to munch on as you browse, such as smoked regional meats and cheese specialities.
1. Mehlplatz Christmas Market
Market, Austrian
It isn’t hard to get into the Christmas spirit at this magical winter market in the heart of the city. This wonderfully atmospheric advent event is one of the most picturesque in Austria. Stalls sell all the traditional fare, with lots of nostalgic goods and some delicious seasonal food and drink.
‘Late riser’s’ flea market
One of the few downsides of a flea market is having to get up early on weekend in order to grab the best deals. Taking place on the first Sunday of every month between 10:30am–5:30pm, this flea market is perfect for those who enjoy a lie-in on Sundays.
