Christmas market in Vienna

From November until Christmas, Vienna is transformed into a magical Christmas landscape, where the smell of baked goods and hot mulled wine create a wonderful Christmas atmosphere. One of the better-known Christmas markets takes place on City Hall Square, which is transformed each year into a glittering wonderland where Christmas gifts, tree decorations, sweets and heated drinks await the interested visitor.

Here you'll find carousels as well as traditional crafts and fun Christmas workshops for children, while the trees in the surrounding park glow with light, making even the biggest Christmas sceptic weak at the knees.

Also nearby is the cultural and Christmas market in front of Schönbrunn Palace, offering romance with an imperial backdrop. The atmospheric market offers traditional crafts, Christmas decorations and Christmas concerts, as well as an extensive programme for children, where they can also experience interesting Christmas workshops.
