The anticipation of the Christmas season has already begun, and there is no beter place to
experience the magic of winter than in the charming city of Vienna. The Austrian capital offers a
multitude of events and festive attractions to explore during the Advent season. From the world-famous „Christkindlmarkt“ on Rathausplatz to the picturesque Christmas markets across the city,
Vienna is the perfect place to enjoy the festive spirit. And that’s not all – Vienna also offers a high
quality of life, making it a desirable destination for a second home. Let’s go on a journey together
through the Advent season in Vienna and discover why this city is so inviting.
The Christmas market on Rathausplatz: a feast for the senses
Probably the most famous Christmas market in Vienna is the „Christkindlmarkt“ on Rathausplatz,
which attracts millions of visitors from all over the world every year. This market offers a fascinating
mix of traditional and modern Christmas magic. The magnificent backdrop of Vienna City Hall, which
is festively illuminated in the run-up to Christmas, lends the market a fairytale atmosphere.
Here you will find festively decorated stalls offering a variety of handicrafts, Christmas gifts and
delicious treats. The fragrant Christmas baked goods, the traditional Austrian mulled wine specialty
“Punsch” and delicious roasted chestnuts are just some of the culinary delights you can enjoy here.
The Christkindlmarkt is also a place where children can look forward to a visit from the Christ Child,
who personally hands out presents.
The city is ablaze with lights
Apart from the Christkindlmarkt, Vienna offers a variety of Christmas markets during the Advent
season, which bathe the city in a sparkling glow of lights. The Christmas market in front of
Schönbrunn Palace is another highlight not to be missed. Here you can stroll between the
magnificent baroque facades of the palace while enjoying Christmas music and treats.
A stroll through the „Altwiener Advent market“ on the Freyung will take you back in time, with its
traditional crafts and Christmas treats. We also recommend the „Spitelberg Christmas market“,
which is particularly appealing to young people with its hip, modern atmosphere and creative arts
and crafts stalls.
