Walther von der Vogelweide square is in the centre of the old town of Bolzano. Here take place the Christmas Market, the Flower Market, the Speck Festival and the Pumpkin Feast.
Alone in December each year Walther square attracts almost a million visitors to Bolzano's Christmas market which takes place in the square, while hundreds of thousand of tourists sit at pavement cafes throughout the year to soak up the winter sun or enjoy the shade during Bolzano's hot, dry summers.
In the middle of the square is the statue of Walther von der Vogelweide (ca. 1168 - ca. 1228).

Near Walther square are the Cathedral, the train station, various banks and shops and the arcades.
