The Christkindlmarkt at Rathausplatz is one of the most famous, featuring over 150 stalls selling everything from handcrafted gifts to traditional Austrian food and mulled wine. The warm, inviting atmosphere of the market, paired with the sweet scents of roasted chestnuts and cinnamon, makes it a highlight of the holiday season.

Royal Splendor in Winter

One of Vienna’s most stunning landmarks is Schönbrunn Palace, the former imperial summer residence. Even in winter, the palace and its gardens are a sight to behold. Take a tour through the palace’s grand rooms and learn about the history of the Austrian royal family. The palace grounds are also a great place for a winter walk, offering beautiful views of the city and surrounding hills.

During December, Schönbrunn is often less crowded, which means you can take your time to explore the palace’s stunning architecture and gardens, covered in a blanket of winter frost. It’s a peaceful retreat from the city’s Christmas market hustle and bustle.
