Salzburg is an attractive city over the festive period, epitomised by the Domplatz and the fairy lights, snow globes and candy canes that adorn the area. The Christmas Markets throw up festive souvenirs along with mulled wine and seasonal food, while carol singers fill the air with Christmas cheer.
