Top 5 Christmas Markets — Vienna
Just for you, our team has put together what we think are the Top 5 Christmas Markets in Vienna. Each one is unique in their own way, but they are all equally beautiful and offer the perfect setting for taking your loved ones out! We hope you enjoy them as much as we do ❤
Helpful Hint: The first three listed here are all within walking distance, no more than 5 minutes, of each other (the easiest way to get there is from U-Bahn U3/U2 Volkstheater or U2 MuseumsQuartier) ;)
