Christmas markets
The best of Christmas in Vienna
Christmas season truly is Vienna's time to shine. ✨
Whether you prefer Punsch or hot chocolate, Langos or brezels, Viennese Christmas markets - or "Weihnachtsmärkte" or "Christkindlmärkte", as the Austrians call them - are full of traditional culinary treats, beautfiully crafted artisan products and atmospheric music.
Many people are familiar with the more famous markets in the city, such as the ones at Schönbrunn, Rathausplatz, Stephansplatz or Belvedere. So here are a few, perhaps less touristic, gems for you to explore:
Altwiener Christkindlmarkt - Freyung, 1010
Kunstadvent vor der Karlskirche - Karlsplatz, 1040
Weihnachtsdorf Unicampus/Altes AKH - Alser Straße, 109
Weihnachtsmarkt im Park - Türkenschankpark, 1180
