engl. / It’s advent time and the first candles<br />
are lit… And when the wonderful smells of<br />
sugared almonds, hot chestnuts, and fresh<br />
baked apples fill the air; when you can hear<br />
beautiful Christmas music everywhere and<br />
strings of light chains illuminate the streets<br />
and houses – then it is finally time for advent.<br />
For many people it is the most beautiful time<br />
of the year and they love to spend it in <strong>Salzburg</strong>.<br />
During the pre-Christmas season a stroll<br />
through the beautifully decorated streets of the<br />
old town is a wonderful experience.<br />

The historic Christmas Market on Dom and Residenzplatz<br />
is among the most beautiful Christmas markets in the<br />
world. The market with its unqiue ambiance has been<br />
around since 1974 and even though it is quite small the<br />
festively decorated stalls – from crafts to culinary delights –<br />
make sure no wishes remain unfulfilled. An impressive<br />
extra here is the sound of the best brass players in the<br />
province who, during the traditional tower-brass sessions,<br />
play beautiful tunes off of the bell tower, the Christmas<br />
museum’s terrace, and the Cathedral gallery.<br />
A trip to the scenic Christmas Market in the courtyard of<br />
Hellbrunn castle lawakens childhood memories, it brings<br />
back that feeling of eagerly waiting for Christmas and<br />
sharing in many old customs. More than 700 festively<br />
decorated fir trees, an 8-metre Christmas angel and the<br />
castle’s facade – where 24 of its windows have been turned<br />
into a huge advent calendar – all make for a beautiful advent<br />
experience. Just like on many other Christmas markets,<br />
both, young and old, can do their own baking here: classics<br />
like cinnamon stars, vanilla crescents, “Linzeraugen” (nut<br />
cookies filled with jam), or a delicious fruit loaf. 31
