These markets provide a one-of-a-kind experience, allowing visitors to take in the sights, sounds and flavours of traditional Easter celebrations. Here are some of the Europe's most popular Easter markets.
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.
Instead of depicting the birth of Jesus Christ, these cribs illustrate his Stations of the Cross.
The locals display these cribs in their homes, while visitors can marvel at them in the annual Easter exhibition at Salzburger Heimatwerk.
