Experience Vienna in winter with its famous Christmas markets. The city offers festive treats and enchanting sights. Visit iconic spots like Rathausplatz, Maria-Theresien-Platz, Schönbrunn Palace, Spittelberg, and Belvedere Palace. Enjoy classic mulled wine, tasty snacks, and local crafts among charming wooden huts. Families will find fun activities at many markets, including stage shows, music, and ice skating. Most markets open from mid-November and run until Christmas Eve. Public transport makes it simple to explore several markets in one trip.
Keep the festive spirit alive all the way into the New Year at the Maria-Theresien-Platz Market. Stock up on everything from sweets to souvenirs, while sipping on a delicious mulled wine (known as glühwein) or a spicy apple punch. There’s even a vegan hotdog stall! After Christmas, the market transforms into a New Year village, providing the ideal place for seeing in January in style.
The famous Vienna Magic of Advent market is mesmerising! Held on Rathausplatz, in front of the 19th-century City Hall, with more than 145 stalls, this postcard-perfect market provides an unbeatable backdrop for a spot of seasonal shopping. At night, trees are embellished with lights to create an enchanting woodland. There’s a track-style ice rink too!
Dramatic during the day and even more so at night, Schönbrunn Palace is a beautiful setting for an evening of exploring. Take a tour of the palace, before heading out to browse traditional artisan gifts, cute crafts and tasty treats at the market stalls lining the palace square. It’s ideal for a couple's Christmassy night out.
Belvedere Palace’s Christmas market is small in size but it oozes charm. Wander between rows of traditional wooden huts and immerse yourself in everything from bespoke African gifts to handmade wooden trinkets. Dazzling decorations and twinkling lights illuminate the surroundings to add to the festive feeling.
Spittelberg Christmas market is a romantic spot for enjoying the festive season. Classic huts span across three streets and are nestled between quaint little gift shops brimming with local crafts – it’s the quintessential spot for a Vienna Christmas market break. If all the exploring leaves you feeling peckish, there’s plenty to satisfy rumbling tummies.
In Vienna, Christmas market breaks are nothing if not charming, and this old-style affair lays it on thick. Enjoy the activities and stage performances between browsing everything the stalls have to offer. Weekdays at 10am, kids can enjoy a puppet performance and, throughout the week, you’ll find music, choirs and artists ready to show off their skills.
