A Winter Fairytale in the Advent Season
Vienna at Christmas time is like a picture book. The city shines in the splendor of countless lights, and the scent of cinnamon, punch and roasted almonds is everywhere in the air. The Christmas markets in the Danube metropolis are not only beautiful, but also incredibly diverse - each one tells its own story and invites you to experience the festive atmosphere in a special way.
There is the imposing town hall square , where sparkling treetops and a gigantic Christmas tree cast a spell over visitors. Children's eyes light up at the sight of the nostalgic carousels, while adults admire the selection of artfully crafted gifts. A few streets further on, the baroque Belvedere Palace bathes the magic of Christmas in a majestic light. Against the magnificent backdrop, there are hand-made decorations, traditional delicacies and punch creations that sweeten every winter day.
Anyone who wants to experience the imperial flair of Schönbrunn Palace will be enchanted by this Christmas market. The more than 90 artistically decorated stalls create the atmosphere of a picturesque winter village. A sparkling ice rink and curling rinks that run without energy invite you to spend happy moments in the open air - a magical place that will delight families in particular and give you unforgettable memories.
On Spittelberg, on the other hand, things get romantic: in the narrow streets of the old town, hidden stalls full of ceramics, jewelry and charming little things are waiting to be discovered. And then there is Stephansplatz , right in the heart of the city, where the majestic St. Stephen's Cathedral provides the backdrop for a Christmas market that focuses entirely on contemplation and regionality.
Whether in the historic splendor of Freyung, at the winter market by the Ferris wheel or in one of the many other magical corners of the city – Vienna’s Christmas markets are a feast for all the senses.
