The smell of spring is finally floating in the air. With brief spells of warm sunshine, the delicate flowers just starting to bloom and new leaves on the trees, even the laziest of couch potatoes can be coaxed outside. After being cooped up inside for what seems like months, load the kids into the car and head south to the Innsbruck Easter Market.
From April 3-13, the Innsbruck Easter Market is located in front of the iconic Golden Roof, which is a bay with 2,657 fire-gilded copper shingles. The market features traditional Austrian Easter market stands selling handmade goods that are seasonally decorated with Easter eggs and pastel colors.
To welcome the coming of spring are programs that portray Tyrolean traditions and customs. Some traditional events include frühschoppen, a gathering before lunch that includes drinking beer. Another traditional event is decorating palmbuschen, twigs adorned with crepe paper and small pretzels.
Don’t let this chance to experience Easter at its finest hop away! Grab your baskets and welcome the spring season in Innsbruck this year.
