Salzburg is a 'Christmas City' as these ornaments for sale

in the Cristmarkt attest.

 

 

 

 

 

The ornaments range from traditional straw weaving...

 

 

 

 

 

...to pop culture assembleges.

Salzburg's musical soul is reflected

in these ornaments.

 

 

 

 

 

Colorful and elegant handiwork.
