    Easter in Salzburg

    It’s impossible to pass this shop without gawping: an incredible 150,000 real, hand-painted eggs are spread over two glittering floors. Prices range from €2 for a modestly painted hen’s egg to €146 for an ostrich egg bearing a portrait of Mozart.

    Residenzplatz

    Residenzplatz brims with high-quality kitsch - is it to be that sexy feathered alpine hat (around €20.90), the stylish edelweiss neckerchief (around €5) or child prodigy, Mozart, captured forever in a snow globe (€5.50)?

    Candela

    Candela is a must if you’ve always wanted a metallic German Christmas pickle (€3.50 to €10) to hang on your tree. Glittering papayas and gaudy carrots complete your festive fruit-and-veg collection.

    Gifts & Things

    Gifts & Things isn’t cheap, but who can resist the gem-encrusted Fabergé egg playing The Blue Danube (€65) or the won’t-stop-whistling marmot (€8) ?

    Christmas in Salzburg

    Just opposite Easter in Salzburg, this five-floor shop puts Santa’s grotto to shame. Here, gold cherubs, stockings and delicate baubles replace the eggs.
