Seasonal discoveries

Vienna Christmas

Vienna Christmas brings the city’s Advent atmosphere to life through the tradition of the Christmas market, a seasonal street market associated with the four weeks before Christmas. Such markets have deep roots in the German-speaking world, and Vienna is mentioned among the places with an early December-market tradition, dating to 1298. Visitors can expect stalls offering seasonal food, drinks and goods, making a market visit a relaxed way to experience a familiar part of Austria’s Christmas culture. As the current programme and opening arrangements may change, check official Vienna information for the latest dates and details before travelling.
