The Christmas market at Hohensalzburg Fortress can be reached by a pretty fast funicular or by a steep path nicely decorated with stars during the Advent season.
A brass band plays in front of a monument dedicated to Prince-Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach. By the way, it is easy to spot the coat of arms of this Prince-Archbishop at the fortress: There is a fat turnip in the middle of the emblem.
The path up to Hohensalzburg Fortress is pretty steep but worth a walk. During the Advent season, it is lighted with lovely stars. Besides that, you can see even more details of the fortress because you have to pass several gates.
