First of all we have to talk about the oldest Christmas market, the Altwiener Cristkindlmarkt, the Vienna Christmas Market, what located at the Feying Square in the center city. They have organized Christmas markets since 1772, so those who want to visit this market, could travel in time. At the market you can buy beautiful glass decorations, homemade products, and there is beautiful advent music from 4 at the afternoon to enhance the atmosphere.
If you don’t want to go far from the Altwiener Cristkindlmarkt, we warmly recommend the Am Hof Christmas market. You just need to walk a little to reach it from the Feying Square. Here you can buy demanding handmade products.

When we are looking for a Christmas market in Vienna, we can’t forget the Schönbrunn Imperial Palace’s garden, where there is a wonderful Christmas and cultural market. There are lots of programs for children here too. We can decorate the Christmas tree with the beautiful Christmas decors what we buy here. Don’t forget this place after Christmas either, because it will be the New Year Market.
Besides the Schönbrunn, the Belvedere Palace’s garden also becomes a winter fairy tale.
For the lovers of romance the perfect choice is the Christmas village at the Maria-Theresian-Platz. You probably will find something between the 70 stands’ products. The beautiful environment makes you feel warm in spite of the cold winter weather.
