Mademoiselle M
★★★★★Edited 5 years agoA bit small but so unique. I think it’s the only christma’s museum in the world. You can learn a lot about Christmas tradition, Saint Nicholas etc. Very huge collection of Christmas objects that are unique and reminded me of my childhood. You can enter for free with your Salzburg card so I highly recommend you to get it from the beginning. I recommend this place if you’re in Salzburg.

★★★★★2 months agoWonderful museum! I learnt a lot about the origins of different elements of Christmas traditions, and there are so many interesting things to look at. Also the gift shop is very good. Nicer than the xmas decoration shops in town.
