What To Expect

This tour takes you to the heart of the 10 best Christmas markets in Vienna. You will have a driver and a guide who is an artist and lives in Vienna, because arts and crafts are strongly represented at the Viennese Christmas markets. We take you to the essence of every one of the Christmas market we visit starting with the largest which is the market on Vienna's Rathausplatz. In 1298, the Habsburg Albrecht I granted the citizens of Vienna the privilege of holding a December market. In addition to the Christmas markets in the city centre, we will also take you to the outskirts to Schönbrunn Palace and Belvedere Palace as well as to the Prater, where you will have the opportunity to take a ride on the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel. Your physical well-being is also catered for. You will be served a typical, freshly prepared, wonderfully fragrant dish, such as a farmer's doughnut with jam, which you can watch being prepared. We round off the tour with a mug of Glühwein on Stephansplatz.
