Pre-Christmas magic in Vienna: an overview of the 2023 Christmas markets

From the classics such as Rathausplatz and Schönbrunn to the lesser-known but equally charming Christmas markets. Falstaff lists the most beautiful Christmas markets in the capital, sorted by start date.

The scent of mulled wine, gingerbread and chestnuts will soon be wafting through the whole city again; the pre-Christmas period in Vienna is a time full of magic and tradition, and nothing embodies this festive atmosphere better than the famous Viennese Christmas markets. Falstaff provides an overview of all Viennese Christmas markets in 2023:
