Innsbruck's Christmas markets come with a mountain backdrop. The Old Town market sits beneath the famous Golden Roof, a giant Christmas tree stands on the Marktplatz by the Inn river, and the market on Maria-Theresien-Straße looks up to the Nordkette range. For views over the city, take the funicular to the Hungerburg panorama market.
Innsbruck is an easy stop between Munich, Salzburg and the South Tyrol markets across the Brenner Pass.
