In the run-up to Christmas, Sterzing is enriched by the ‘Christkindlmarkt’ (Christmas Market) on the historic town square. A beautifully- decorated Christmas tree will be surrounded by stalls selling colourful products to awaken the anticipation of Christmas. Immerse yourself in tradition and take your time. The Sterzing Advent season is called "Glockenweihnacht" (Christmas Bells) to draw attention to the many sounds of the town's bells. Let yourself be enchanted by the atmospheric Christmas market and its attractions. A special feature of the medieval town of Sterzing is the "Zwölferturm" (Twelve Tower), which majestically watches over the town’s narrow streets and the Christmas market, adorned with atmospheric fairy lights. The colourful house facades around the "Zwölferturm" with their characteristic bay windows invite you to visit the many small shops and inns.
