Christmas Market
Christkindlmarkt on the Rathausplatz There are plenty of Christmas markets in Austria and lots in Vienna. But the biggest is on the Rathausplatz, the square in front of the town hall and opposite the Burgtheater. This Christkindlmarkt is the centrepiece of the “Vienna Christmas Dream” experience… Vienna’s largest (and busiest) Christmas market. Around 150 stalls. Adjacent park is full of Advent surprises and lights, including an ice skating trail and the famous “tree of hearts”. Each year it is open from Nov 15 to Dec 26. There are those who’ll argue in favour of the smaller and more cultured alternatives in Schönbrunn or Karlsplatz. But the Christmas market that garners the most attention (and crowds) in Vienna is the Rathausplatz version. This is the home of the Wiener Christkindlmarkt, a yuletide market whose roots go back to the late 18th century: it only moved to its present location in 1975. Who knows how many visitors it attracts, but estimates range as high as a whopping 3.5 million a year this short period until Christmas. #Vienna #Festivitytimeintheworld #Lifeatexpedia
