Hello,
With one 24 hour span in St Wolfgang during the Christmas markets - I’m wondering how to budget time. I’m aware of the Advent boat that visits the other two lake villages but that will take all day. Is there a lot to see and do in St. Wolfgang? I would love to see the other villages but might miss St. Wolfgang itself. Has anyone stayed the night and what’s the best way to budget time ?
Thank you !
Carol

St. Wolfgang is a village - a tiny speck of a place. The Christmas Market covers the entire village - there is nothing left to see.
You will definitely want to take the boat to Sankt Gilgen (the best of the three markets) and I highly recommend stopping at the third one in Strobl. You could easily add on a trip up the Schafbergbahn on the Christmas train, but it is a quick up and down ride (nothing up there but knee deep snow and freezing temperatures.
Yes, it is an all day thing, but that is the only thing to do.
