CHRISTMAS SEASON IN SOUTHTYROL
EXPLORING SOUTH TYROL’S CHRISTMAS MARKETS
I love when that time of year comes round in South Tyrol, Christmas season, where candles, lanterns and Christmas lights seem to be competing with the glow of the Rosengarten. Right about now, the busy bustling on the local Christmas markets reaches its peak, and that is something you shouldn’t miss!
Take a stroll amidst the stands, admire the wonderfully carved nativity sets and glistening glass Christmas tree decorations with fine engravings, stop to indulge yourself and enjoy that warm apple strudel here and there while humming along to the sound of familiar Christmas carols. South Tyrol’s authentic Christmas markets in Bolzano, Merano, Bressanone, Brunico and Vipiteno are enchantingly romantic and festive, a pure delight.
Wishing you a pleasant holiday season,
Trude Unterhofer
