Vienna, Austria | A Trendy Guide

Maria-Theresien-Platz

A small market along the square filled with stalls selling unique Christmas souvenirs, decorations and glühwein. The most stunning location with views of the Museum of Modern Arts standing impressively behind the market located in former imperial stables and the monumental Natural History Museum opposite.   

This year the market will run from November 15th to December 26th with these opening times:
Sundays - Thursdays 11am - 9pm
Friday & Saturday 11am - 10pm
December 24th closes 4pm

Probably the most accessible Christmas Market, it is situated between the two biggest museums in Vienna. Had a variety of food and drinks, so I recommend it!

The centre of the museum quarter, decorated with the monument honouring the Empress Maria Theresa
