Tips & Advice

  • Leave the car at home on Advent shopping days, when the Traunseetram and Citybus lines 511, 512 and 513 are free and run extended hours.
  • Combine a stroll around the market with a fairy-tale or winter boat trip on Lake Traunsee, part of the program running alongside the market.

  • Stop by the K-Hof Museum for its nativity scene exhibition, one of the cultural events that accompany the Adventbummel.
  • The market runs only Friday to Sunday, plus the December 8 holiday, so aim for a weekend visit.
