Innsbruck’s most beautiful Christmas markets

Your very personal magical Advent right on your hotel doorstep

Advent is the most wonderful time of the year in Innsbruck for many visitors. The reasons for this are obvious: the aroma of mulled wine and sweet baked treats that wafts out of the many little lanes and corners. The snow-covered peaks of the Nordkette mountain range close by. The thousands of lights that romantically light up the city. And of course the many traditional Christmas markets without which Innsbruck’s Advent would be inconceivable.
