9Hallstatt, Austria

Nestled by a serene lake and surrounded by snowy peaks, Hallstatt is a fairy-tale village in Austria’s Salzkammergut region. During the winter, its cobbled streets and quaint architecture are illuminated with subtle Christmas lights, adding to its enchanting atmosphere.

Hallstatt remains quieter during the holidays, as many travelers tend to flock to Vienna or Salzburg. You can enjoy peaceful boat rides on the lake, stroll through the quaint market, or simply take in the views. This picturesque spot feels like a true winter wonderland without the need for crowds.
