Salzburger Land, Austria

One of the oldest Easter markets, the Salzburg Easter Market is held every year during the Easter week in the city's old town since the 15th century. Stalls sell handmade crafts, Easter decorations, chocolate eggs and sweets and traditional food items.

Speciality

Christmas cribs are ubiquitous in Austria, but SalzburgerLand has its own unique Easter Cribs.
