Buying a nice present here, getting a mulled wine there, enjoying some pastries like “Spitzbuben” or “Zelten”, opening yourself to the soft music and the festive spirit… Just imagine what Christmas season it would be in a lot of South Tyrolean cities without the atmospheric markets, which enchant their visitors. Here those beautifully arranged stalls belong to the festive season just as the golden lights in the trees, the fragrant cookies and the anticipation for the happiest time of the year.

Among the largest and most popular Christmas markets in South Tyrol you will surely find those in Bozen and Meran, which open their doors every year from the end of November to Twelfth Day on January 6th. In the South Tyrolean capital of Bozen, the Walther square in the centre transforms into a magical Christmas dream. In Meran, the wonderfully lit Christmas stalls along the Kurpromenade, the Thermen and Sand square will invite you to stroll around and linger. Adorable presents for your loved ones at home, traditional South Tyrolean Christmas specialties and a varied
supporting program will complete your Christmas market experience.

From our Hotel Vilpianerhof you are able to easily reach both Christmas markets, and this not just by car but also using the public means of transport, which will take you to the enchanting Christmas atmosphere without any stress and in complete serenity.
