Hallstatt Marktplatz

Also known as Marktplatz Hallstatt

The Hallstatt Marktplatz is the compressed heart of the village: a small triangular square where the lakefront walk, the ferry landing, and the stairs up to the church converge. The painted facades of the houses ringing the square are the image most associated with Hallstatt globally. In reality the square is no more than 30 meters across.

The Hallstatt Marktplatz is the small triangular square at the center of the village, about 30 meters across, where the lakefront walk and the stairs to the church and charnel house converge. The painted facades of the surrounding houses form the composition most associated with Hallstatt globally. Free and always accessible. Best light is morning or late afternoon. Arrive by ferry from the train station on the opposite shore. Combine with the Hallstatt Old Town, the Beinhaus above, and the museum on the lakefront for the full Hallstatt experience.
