Things to do in Austria, Austria: The Best Cultural Events

February 10, 2022 Moriah Teneyck

As home to majestic mountains, opulent palaces, and high culture, Austria's attractions are classically sumptuous and enduring. But beyond the waltzes, the strudels, the alpine summits, and Habsburg architecture, its modern cities are proof of just how easily Austria combines the contemporary with the historic.

Spittelberg Christmas Market

If you visit Vienna for the Christmas markets then this is definitely one to see. It has a different ambience to the other markets which can feel very samey once you have walked down one row. Here you can find a collection of different items and is well worth a visit. It is situated along 3 alleys and so has a feel of a street market as well.

Christmas Market on Rathausplatz

Romantic Vienna lights up in Advent with the scent of glühwein hanging over the Rathausplatz Christkindlmarkt set against the lovely backdrop of the Neo-Gothic town hall. Here more than 150 wooden stalls offer yuletide gifts – from handmade wooden toys to lavish tree decorations and Christmas candles – lights are strung across the square and nativity stories are read each evening. Food vendors offer Viennese specialities from smoked sausages to apple strudels and spicy punch, there are carol concerts around the Christmas tree and train rides on the Christkindl Express in the Rathauspark.

The city has 7 or 8 Christmas markets but the one at Rathaus is the biggest. You can find there an ice skating rink, panoramic wheel and many Christmas houses where you can buy souvenirs, delicious sausages, gingerbread and mulled wine (the price is 8 Euro if you want to keep the mug and if you want to return it you receive back 4 Euro).
