Mulled wine and hot chestnuts seem to be the trademark of Christmas Markets worldwide, and Vienna’s are no exception. What began in the 13th century as a simple marketplace for Viennese vendors has grown and developed into a much-anticipated and magical tradition. There are five main Christmas market locales – Rasthauplatz, Schönbrunn (24 Nov – 26 Dec), Spittelberg (16 Nov – 23 Dec), Baroque Belevedere Palace (23 Nov – 24 Dec), and Maria Theresien Place (21 Nov – 24 Dec). Each exudes history and holiday spirit, with the beautiful architecture of Vienna serving as a backdrop for the festivities in the streets below. With the entire city adorning itself in Christmas decorations, it’s impossible to feel less than merry.
