Christmas Market Merano: St Nicholas and the Krampus at the Christmas Market

St Nicholas will meet the children at the Merano Christmas Market along the Promenade and hand out sweets to well-behaved children. From 4.30 pm, he will be joined by the Krampus, the fearsome figures of Alpine folklore.

The event is taking place in the pedestrian zone, so we recommend travelling by public transport. From the railway station, it’s best to take one of the city bus routes (1, 4 or 5) to the ‘Meran, Theaterplatz’ stop and then continue on foot.

Travelling by bike (towards the city centre). Bicycle parking spaces are available on Freiheitsstraße at the junction with Sparkassenstraße, and on Galileistraße in front of the Town Hall. Sparkassenstraße and Galileistraße, up to the Prince’s Castle, are exclusively pedestrian zones from 10.00 to 18.30.
Please use the designated bicycle parking spaces. Bicycles can pose a hazard to blind and visually impaired people.
