As one of the most famous and historical sights in Vienna, this market can get crowded and in some cases may be more expensive than the alternatives we have listed below \u2013 so maybe keep that in mind when planning your journey. Overall, the setting is magical and filled with plenty of traditional handicrafts and Christmas decorations to marvel at, but just beware that the peak times for visitors is between 4-8pm!<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10122\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10122\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10122 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/16406086720_58ce7517e5_b-1-min-2.jpg\" alt=\"Best Christmas Markets in Vienna\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/16406086720_58ce7517e5_b-1-min-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/16406086720_58ce7517e5_b-1-min-2-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/16406086720_58ce7517e5_b-1-min-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10122\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/author\/45a79c\">www.traveljunction.com<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/0db52c\">Visualhunt.com<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/2.0\/\"> CC BY-SA<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve been to Vienna before but during summer so when I planned the trip in December 2013, I was focused on the Christmas Markets. I do remember the amazing mulled cider at the market in front of Schonbrunn Palace as I have never had that drink before.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to pack layers, especially if you aren\u2019t used to winter. It\u2019s cold. It\u2019s mittens and thermals cold!<br \/>\nAlso, keep in mind that the markets are more fun during the weekends, although that\u2019s when they are the busiest, too. It can be quite boring to just walk among the stalls during the week. &#8211; Cris &amp;Alex, <a href=\"https:\/\/looknwalk.info\/looknwalk\/christmas-markets-in-vienna-austria\/\">LooknWalk<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>6. Belvedere Christmas Markets<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another stunning palatial location, the Belvedere Christmas Markets are smaller than Sch\u00f6nbrunn markets but equally as great. Home to approximately 40 stalls, this market holds a greater focus on crafts and artisan products than other markets.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll still be able to find plenty of tasty Austrian treats, but primarily this market is great for a short visit and for a mug of gl\u00fcwein. During the day you can combine entrance to the museum nearby with a mug of <em>punsch<\/em> for just \u20ac17 during museum opening hours. Belvedere is pretty, but beyond a punsch or two, there\u2019s not much to keep you entertained once you\u2019ve snapped a few photos for Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" >\r\n<p style=\"margin-top: 1em;\"><em>See Also: <\/em><strong><a href=\"\/days-to-come\/best-danube-christmas-markets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Best Danube Christmas Markets<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<hr style=\"width: 100px; height: 2px; border: 0; background-color: #222; margin-left: 0; opacity: 1\" ><\/div>\n<h2><strong>5. Rathaus Winter Dream<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Rathaus Winter Dream has it all. Here, you can wander beneath illuminated decorations surrounding Rathaus Square and eat endless amounts of sweet baked treats.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s even an ice skating rink with a view of the famous Burgtheater. While you&#8217;re there, you can try your hand at<em> Eisstockscheisen<\/em>, a <a href=\"\/v\/region-bavaria\">Bavarian<\/a> bowls-style game played on ice.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rathaus Platz markets are by far the busiest in the city, so just be prepared to elbow your way through the markets and enjoy the festive spirit among the crowd. The sparkling archway entrance is iconic and is a popular spot take a few naps beneath, but the queues for drinks and food can get out of hand during peak times \u2013 not to mention the queues for the bathrooms! Just be patient, take a warm jacket and enjoy the festive spirit and soak up the pre-Christmas excitement.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Maria Theresien Christmas Village<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Maria Theresia Christmas Village is an adorable location to stop and recharge while you explore the city.\u00a0Surrounded by the Natural History Museum and the Art History Museum, there&#8217;s no excuse not to visit these markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The picturesque wooden huts lined up along garden paths serve traditional punsch and sweet snacks. Being so popular, you might struggle to find a table but there is always space for a quick drink.\u00a0These markets are also great for strolling and capturing a few photos as you make your way into Vienna\u2019s old town. Situated between the Museums Quartier area and Hofburg Palace, you have no excuse not to keep exploring Vienna.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10132\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10132\" style=\"width: 1080px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-10132 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11353614915_ee2ef02a40_b-min.jpg\" alt=\"Best Christmas Markets in Vienna\" width=\"1080\" height=\"719\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11353614915_ee2ef02a40_b-min.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11353614915_ee2ef02a40_b-min-900x599.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11353614915_ee2ef02a40_b-min-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourradar.com\/days-to-come\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/11353614915_ee2ef02a40_b-min-300x200.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1080px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1080\/719;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/author\/2d220f\">Cruise Buzz<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/visualhunt.com\/re\/0db52c\">Visual hunt<\/a> \/ <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/2.0\/\"> CC BY-NC-SA<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>3.

Visitors will enjoy the genuine atmosphere and high-quality woodwork and woven clothing. If the temperature drops,\u00a0 you can take refuge in a nearby restaurant as this is one of the best areas for food in Vienna.

You will find different treats, gifts and atmosphere at each market so it\u2019s worthwhile to visit as many as you can. I would, however, suggest you do other sightseeing in between Christmas markets so that you don\u2019t burn out on their novelty. Also, definitely pace yourself on the Gluhwein.
