The main square of Lienz is transformed into a romantic Christmas Market every year.
Artistically decorated stalls, fairy lights, braziers, the scent of gingerbread, fritters, mulled wine and hot tea - with seasonal music ringing all around: those are the ingredients that make advent in Lienz something very special.
One of the major attractions during this period is the huge Advent calendar on the Liebburg, the Lienz town hall. 24 artists provide the individual showpieces/paintings, one window being opened every day at 18:30.
