The snow filled cobbled streets of Salzburg are the perfect location for a Christmas market. Every stall is packed with festive treats, from soft and chewy iced gingerbread and hundreds of varieties of marzipan to Amaretto flavoured mulled wine. The air is filled with the aroma of Christmas trees and gluwein, wrap up warm, listen to the choir singing Christmas carols and treat yourself as you wander through the fairy lit streets of this magical place.

Beautiful Christmas markets in a picturesque setting where you can follow climbing a snow laden hill to a stunning fortress with a warming and fortifying drink of gluhwein to power you through the atmospheric market selling a vast array of hand crafts and delicious foods.

The Altstadt is really quaint and has some really good shops. There are great little squares off it with cafes and market stalls selling food. The Old Town centres around one narrow street running parallel to the river Salzach. It contains good branchs of chains like Benetton as well as shops unique to Salzburg like a shop perpetually selling glass Christmas decorations.
Salzburg's cathedral in the Domplatz is also well worth a visit.

The Old Town is situated across the river from the hauptbahnhof and new town. I'm not sure what number the bus is from the Hbf, just ask at the station.
