Christmas Markets in Italy
Brixen Christmas Market offers the chance to discover the food and craftsmanship of south Tyrol.
Stands are generally gathered in Piazza Duomo. The specialties of traditional cuisine mix up with gifts shops, selling Christmas decorations for all tastes.
Brixen boasts a long tradition of Christmas crib, and the market period is especially bound to the celebration of this secular tradition.
It is possible to buy characters of the crib, as well as wooden carved houses, all hand-made by the local artisans.
