For over twenty years, the Salzburg Fortress Advent has been a popular fixture in the pre-Christmas season: as in previous years, more than a hundred traditional Herrnhut stars bathe the Festungsgasse and the Burghof of Hohensalzburg Fortress in a sea of lights.
The Advent market in the castle courtyard is not only the highest in the city, but also one of the most atmospheric with a fine selection of Salzburg delicacies, local handicrafts and gift ideas.
