Vienna’s most famous and coveted markets are the Christmas markets. Taking place from the middle of November to the end of December, a Viennese Christmas market is a special experience. There are large Christmas markets with hundreds of stalls selling Austrian delicacies, handmade wooden toys, souvenirs, and of course mulled cider and wine, to tiny Christmas markets wedged inside dead-end cobblestoned streets-blink-and-you’ll-have-missed-it. Each is unique and unforgettable in its own way. Join us on a whimsical Christmas market crawl that will take you to the following markets: •Karlsplatz • Maria-Theresa Square •Rathausplatz / City Hall * Depending on the various markets opening times, one of the markets above may be substituted with another (equally as beautiful!) Christmas market.

Ornaments and Mulled wine in Wien
Christmas markets in Vienna! I’ve been to Budapest and Germany but Austria certainly has something special in the form of Vienna. I went especially for the Christmas market and I suggest, GO! The Rathaus market is stunning with the cathedral towering above. An ice skating rink, a small Ferris wheel, a Heart Tree, carrousel and probably 100+ wooden Christmas market stalls. Mulled wine Galore to keep the cold at bay and such a happy place to be. People smile! I bought lots of ornaments, baubles, presses for the grandchildren and ourselves and the most expensive thing was TRUFFLE CHEESE 😜 If you have not yet visited Vienna and its Christmas markets 7 in total, I do recommend you do! Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New year to you.

Fabulous experience
We initially were going to have Lisa as our guide but she became ill and we had Ute instead. She was wonderful. She picked us up at our hotel. She knew exactly which U Bahn to take to help us make the most of our time. She showed us 4 very different Christmas Markets. She explained which things were traditional (both decorations and food) and their significance. By the end of the tour when we arrived back at our hotel I felt I truly understood the Christmas traditions of Vienna and Austria. I would highly recommend this tour.

Luis is wonderful!, tour was perfect balance of history and overview of Vienna
Luis was a wonderful tour guide! He speaks perfect english and he is so warm and kind. He went at our pace, and he was very conscious of what we wanted to see/do. He took us to the Christmas markets, and bought us lovely beverages, and then took us to the Opera House, a small museum, the Hofburg Palace, among other places. It was a perfect amount of time, history and sites. I would highly recommend!

Vienna Christmas Market Crawl: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vienna.
How much does Vienna Christmas Market Crawl cost?
+
Prices start at $263 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vienna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Vienna Christmas Market Crawl take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Vienna is not rushed.
Is Vienna Christmas Market Crawl worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vienna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Vienna Christmas Market Crawl?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Vienna Christmas Market Crawl suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Vienna Christmas Market Crawl?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Vienna can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Vienna and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Vienna Christmas Market Crawl start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vienna within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vienna?
+
On Outty we rank every Vienna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Vienna Food Tour: Coffeehouses, Markets, Lunch & Street Food, Authentic Vienna Food Tour inc. lunch, street food, 3 drinks, Best of Vienna : Historic Center Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Vienna?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Vienna?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Vienna Christmas Market Crawl?
+
Included: Authentic Austrian Christmas cookie at the beginning of the tour!; and A licensed state-certified Austria guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Vienna Christmas Market Crawl include hotel pickup?

What languages is Vienna Christmas Market Crawl offered in?

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Vienna Christmas Market Crawl?
+
