Every Christmas the Rathausplatz is decorated with trees, twinkling lights and decorations, and filled with wooden huts housing stalls.
Try traditional Viennese Christmas treats like glazed fruits and baked apples, then buy wooden handicraft stocking fillers.
After strolling around the bustling market stalls, head for the Rathauspark nearby, where giant candles adorn the trees and children can ride ponies, the miniature railway or the merry-go-round.
Don’t miss the famous advent choir concerts, held in the festival halls of the town hall, held during the last three weekends of the advent season.
