The City’s Most Enchanting Christmas Spots
From mid-November onwards, Vienna shines in festive lights, and the scent of punch, roasted chestnuts and gingerbread fills the air. The city turns into a sparkling Christmas wonderland.
The Christkindlmarkt at Rathausplatz delights visitors with its ice rink, children’s attractions and romantic atmosphere. In the city centre, the traditional markets on Freyung and Am Hof offer handmade gifts and Austrian crafts.
The Christmas markets at Schönbrunn and Belvedere castles combine imperial charm with artisanal treasures and culinary treats. For a creative and eco-friendly vibe, visit Art Advent at Karlsplatz or the charming Spittelberg market in the Biedermeier quarter.
For a quieter setting, stroll through the Türkenschanzpark or the Hirschstetten Gardens, while the Winter Market at the Prater keeps the festive mood alive with live music and family fun well into the new year.
