A short distance from Merano, the small village of Tirolo hosts an intimate Christmas market, set up within the walls of Castel Tirolo on weekends from November 27 to December 8. A suggestive setting for this recurring event. The internal rooms of the castle will be used by craftspeople to display their handmade products and demonstrate ancient crafts such as felt-making, pottery wheel and spinning.
Christmas Market at Castel Tirolo: what to find
During the Christmas Market at Castel Tirolo the village is also decorated for the occasion: the shop windows in the center will be embellished with handmade nativity scenes created by the women of Tirolo.
In the courtyard of Castel Tirolo there is a gastronomic stand and a small petting zoo with sheep and donkeys. For children there are also workshops for creating small gifts, assisted by expert staff.
Horse-drawn carriage rides, concerts, theatrical and magic shows and alpine horn players will animate these three festive days.
Hours:
27/11 - 08/12/2026 11:00 - 18:00
How to get there and where to park
To reach Castel Tirolo by car, you need to arrive at Merano and follow the signs. The castle road is closed to traffic. You must park in the village (in the parking lot opposite the Minigolf or in the one opposite the Raiffeisen bank, both paid). If you prefer, you can park your car in Merano and use public transport to Tirolo.
