Merano
27 Nov – 24 Dec plus 26 Dec – 6 Jan 2010
The Merano Advent: with its Christmas Market has the special Christmas atmosphere that you find only in the Alps. In front of the romantic spa buildings on the Passer Promenade, bright with festive decorations, you can visit stalls offering local crafts and traditional regional culinary specialities. There is also a varied supporting programme with music (including choirs), theatrical performances and displays of traditional customs. Children can enjoy a super animation programme – so that they are not too impatient waiting for Father Christmas.
Vipiteno
27 Nov – 6 Jan 2010
Piazza città/Stadtplatz (Town Square). The impressive "Zwölfer-Turm" tower built in 1486 watches over the Christmas market in this medieval mining town, itself at an altitude of almost 1,000 metres. It also features a special exhibition related to the history of mining in the nearby high mountains. The atmosphere is enhanced by the quaint town buildings with their characteristic bay windows.
Bressanone
27 Nov – 6 Jan 2010
Piazza Duomo/Domplatz (Cathedral Square). The venerable Cathedral with its 800 year-old Gothic cloister lends a unique aura to the Christmas market, taking place in the Cathedral square. You will be fascinated by the bustle of activity and the myriad of colours, seasonal aromas and music, or by the crib exhibition in the Episcopal Palace (Hofburg) emanating tradition and history.
Bolzano
27 Nov – 23 Dec 2009
Piazza Walther/Waltherplatz. Savour the magic of Christmas in the traditional mercantile town of Bolzano, at the meeting point of north and south, where the cultures and traditions of central Europe and the Mediterranean meld. Bright lights, scents and sounds steeped in tradition pervade the medieval centre, with its romantic arcaded streets and picturesque lanes emanating their nostalgic atmosphere. Emotions are heightened by the backdrop of the Rosengarten Dolomites!
