Bolzano's Christkindlmarkt on Piazza Walther is the original and largest of the South Tyrol Christmas markets. South Tyrol is a German-speaking region of Italy, so the market blends Alpine traditions — wooden toys, felt, Speck and Glühwein — with Italian food and style, against a backdrop of the Dolomites.
From Bolzano it's easy to hop by train to the other South Tyrolean markets in Merano, Bressanone (Brixen), Brunico and Vipiteno (Sterzing).
