Every year, 1-2 weeks before Christmas, Salzburg holds Krampus Night. Krampus is the evil twin brother of Santa Claus. It is said that this terrifying demon roams the streets of the Old Town disguised as a masked monster, wielding whips and branches to punish naughty children. The children scream and flee in all directions. It is a very unique traditional event. Address Salzburg old town, Salzburg
