Christmas time in Tyrol. Wonderful that you are here!
The streets are festively decorated, the “Christkindlmarkt” (Christmas market) attracts with delicacies and handicrafts, in short: Christmas is in the air!
At this very special time of the year, we would like to invite you to a guided walk through the Christmassy old town of Innsbruck on 09 December 2022 at 2:45 pm. We will start the afternoon with a visit to the nativity scene exhibition at the Tyrolean Folk Art Museum ("Tiroler Volkskunstmuseum"). Afterwards, we will explore the sights of Innsbruck's old town on a leisurely walking tour and also learn interesting facts about the origins of Christmas, Christian customs, "rough nights" (Rauhnächte) and pagan superstitions.
After this Christmas city walk, we will be at the Innsbruck Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market) at 5 pm and look forward to meeting as many of you there as possible!
We are looking forward to your participation! Partners are also very welcome!
