Vienna Christmas Markets

- VIENNA CHRISTMAS MARKETS - For this Vlogmas episode, I visited two Christmas markets in Vienna: Spittelberg and Rathausplatz. I had intended to visit more this night - there are a lot! - but the market at the Rathaus was so incredible and overwhelming that I didn’t want to leave.
When I asked my Austrian friends, who live in Vienna, which Christmas Market I should visit they unanimously said Spittelberg. It’s more local, with fewer tourists, and its charmingly nestled into tiny little streets that you wander through. It felt cute and intimate and I liked the smaller scale. There were food vendors but I noticed more stalls selling nice crafts and gifts than anywhere else I’ve been. It seemed like a place with unique items where you’d actually shop. I even met Santa Claus! When I told him I’d been good this year he rewarded me with a clementine and peanuts.
Next I went to the enormously grand market in front of the Rathaus or, in English, City Hall. It made me feel giddy when we first arrived because there were so many lights, people, decorations, and good smells wafting through the air. The whole atmosphere felt like Christmas in hyperdrive! Definitely what a Christmas market looks like when you picture it in your head, I think. It really delivered. I found booths of cute Vienna-inspired Christmas decor, a sausage in a bun that turned out to be filled with cheese, and a mug of traditional Glühwein or mulled wine. There was a Ferris wheel, light shows, and a large track for people to skate through the brightly-lit trees.
I thought I’d wander around more markets but, in truth, I had so much fun at the Rathaus Christmas Market that I didn’t want to leave. What did you think of this crazy Christmas market in Vienna? Do you prefer quiet and quaint Spittelberg or bright and bustling Rathausplatz?

MY VLOGMAS 2017 SERIES
This December I’m doing Vlogmas on my channel! Vlogmas is usually where you daily vlog each day of December leading up to Christmas. I’m doing my own version where I’ll upload new videos three times per week on my regular schedule (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) and each ‘episode’ will be Christmas themed from my travels in Europe! I’ll be exploring Christmas markets - and trying all the special foods - in 6 different countries and learning about unique and sometimes crazy-sounding Christmas traditions. I absolutely love this time of year. I’m looking forward to experiencing all the different ways people celebrate and sharing it with you.

Which of these markets did you vibe the most? The first or second one?
I have to admit, as much as I like small friendly markets, the big one at the Rathausplatz got me the most excited!
I always go for the smaller local areas, I dont like to travel somewhere just to see other tourists, although the big one was very beautiful too. Loved your excitement , always so bubbly and giggly !
Hard choice but probably the second :)
I don't know if I can pick - the Spittelberg one has such a nice local feel and I like the crafts better. But the Rathaus market is just magical! Did you get a chance to see the market at Karlsplatz? That one had a lot of fun stuff for the kids in the middle that we enjoyed watching.
I loved them both... each one was different but the spirit of Christmas was there in the little village as much as the bigger village.
I felt your happiness through this video! 🥰🥰🥰🙌🙌🙌
This is a delightful video. Lots of information but delivered with a most delightful dialogue complimented by cute laughter - she is so obviously loving what she's doing and she's sharing it with everyone who's watching. A perfect video -- "the stuff of my Christmas Markt dreams" -- so well done. Thank you!
One of the best narrators possible! Showing it in my history class today. We are studying Austria now. And just in time for the season :)
Thank you so much, Leyla! I'm very honoured to know you showed it to your class. I sincerely hope they enjoyed it :) We made other videos in Vienna if you'd like to see more of this beautiful city: bit.ly/ViennaPlaylist. Hope your students enjoy studying Austria.
Your enthusiasm is contagious 😊 You've made me miss my childhood Christmases in Germany even more than already do. but I forgive you!😁
i watched this with my son as we are planning our chirstmas trip here and he said " i like how she smiles and laughs so much" and its true you excude joy! thanks for the video.
Your enthusiasm is contagious! So looking forward to Christmas market season. Both markets you were at are clearly necessary stops. Each bring their own thing. Maybe more shopping at the first one.
What a charming video...and Host😊...Thank You! Merry Christmas !
Hi, Eileen, I'd like to congratulate on your video has been chosen by Vienna.info You really deserve it. Apart from that, you made me and my wife visit Vienna Next December to enjoy the Christmas Markets.
Thank you very much! And it makes me extremely happy to hear that you guys are planning a trip to Vienna. It truly sparkles during the Christmas season. We made some other videos about Vienna you might enjoy: bit.ly/ViennaPlaylist. After you've enjoyed a Christmas market outside you can cozy up in a coffeehouse :)
Nothing gets me in the Christmas spirit like the Christmas Markets, on the Danube and the Rhine! Love them
I couldn't stop smiling once you got to Rathburg. Omg. Your happiness made me smile.
That makes me happy to hear! My heart felt so full ❤️
Absolutely wonderful videos. Pure fantasy and beauty for Vienna’s Christmas. Some cities in Europe really know how to celebrate Christmas.
That is so true, Lesley! Vienna just sparkles and made me feel like a little kid - the best possible feeling at Christmas :)
I have visited Vienna a few times and always at Christmas. It is a very pretty place, but my visit this year will be a little bit different. I will be there New year's Eve. Its going to be magic....I love this video...
My husband and I went to Vienna last year, especially to see the Christmas markets. I had always dreamed of it. Thank you SO much for bringing back memories. The Rathaus in Vienna is just spectacular. We rode the ferris wheel and I felt like a 45 year old kid!! And for those of you who question going, just bundle up and GO!!! Vienna = actual chandeliers hanging between buildings outside in the old town too at Christmas. Spectacular is just THE word for this city in general, but at Christmas, you are right, it's pure magic. Thanks for the video - as always, excellent job!
I cant wait until Christmas this year! My adult daughter and I are going on the Danube Christmas River Cruise from Budapest, to Vienna, Nuremberg, and Regensburg, then spending 3 days on land in Prague. She loves to eat and I love to shop! I couldnt help but smile watching your video as you so enjoyed yourself! I will have to remember your markets when we get to Vienna. Thank you for a great video, I felt like I was there with you!
Hey Denise! That is going to be such an amazing trip! Now you have the fun of looking forward to it :) So happy to hear you enjoyed this video!
I'm crying watching this. It's MAY and I'm so emotional. Love your videos! Keep making more PLEASE!!!
Your video is just superb..the enjoyment with which you are showing everything around is so joyful..a true season of happiness.. thank you very informative and fun..
Every where beautiful different beautiful but all great thank you for sharing
Hi Sandy! I completely agree - I love them all in different ways ❤️
Switzerland is a Christmas card in the winter, So blessed in its beauty.
I just love your enthusiasm Eileen, it's so infecious. Vienna is one place I'd love to visit, especially during Christmas and New Year. So much to see, to listen to, and to eat. a real treat for the senses.
Eileen you are sparkling along with all those lights!! I just adore your giddiness, and honestly, I'd be the same way!! Those little dolls @3:10 are absolutely precious!! I tell you what, these vlogs are like a Christmas present under my tree. And that music is spot on!!
That is the best thing to hear, Scott, and hearing that is like a present for me (and Marc!)! Thank you :) It really was a magical-feeling night.
I have the biggest smile watching you. I am brimming with so much excitement for our upcoming trip to experience the Vienna Christmas markets as well. I can feel your happiness watching the festivities all around. Thank you so much for this lovely video. I just finished watching your Vienna Cafe video as well. Sending you positive vibes from Toronto 😊
Absolutely stunning! You are so enthusiastic and gave a good tour of the Christmas market!
Thanks so much, Suzanne! Vienna is truly a Christmas wonderland 🎄
I LOVE VIENNA! And I love that you met Santa!
ME TOO! This Santa was so sweet. Vienna knows how to do Christmas.
He is actually called Nikolaus in Vienna and comes at the 6th of December. On the 24th the "Christkind" visits and brings presents :)
a natale con i suoi mercatini,e qualcosa di magico spettacolare💕👍
You are adorable. I love your enthusiasm. It makes me so excited to be there next week. Thank you.
Wow! My wife and I want to go to check out the Christmas markets. Your video was so well done. We caught your excitement! Now we want to go even MORE! Thank you!
So much fun!! Loved this one. And your energy. You definitely had me smiling.
Aww that's so awesome to hear. Thank you, Emily! Big love to you :)
There are around 30 Christmas markets in Vienna. The one at the Rathaus Platz is the biggest one and probably has the most tourists but some find it ‚tacky’ - not the Austrians favourite. The markets at Schönbrunn Palace, Maria Theresienplatz, Belvedere Palace and Spittelberg are in my opinion far nicer.
The cheese filled sausage (Käsekrainer) is delicious by the way!
Eileen, your enthusiasm is so infectious and you are just too cute! I am planning on spending Christmas and New Year’s in Vienna as a gift to myself and your video has gotten me even more excited about my trip! You have shown Vienna is such a magical way. Two months to go and I’m going to start marking the days on my calendar! Thank you!
I cried because it was so beautiful! It made me think of my blessed mother, who is now in Heaven, and her beautiful sister and my precious grandmother who is also in Heaven. They were all born in Hungary!! It’s the people, the lights and the feelings I got. Thank you so much for bringing a bit of heaven into our homes. This is what I call a real beautiful Christmas. Thank you once again. 💜💜💜 Love from Canada!!!!
simply wondrous ...isn't it? such evenings are memories made of, thanks for sharing, its a privilege...
Thanks so much, Jim! It IS simply wondrous indeed.
Eileen! I am soooooooooooooooo jealous!!! I loved loved LOVED this video. I have actually loved all your Christmas (Vlogmas) videos so very much but this one takes the cake. I have dreamed of going to a Christmas market for at least 15 years and you are living my dream - thank you for bringing your experiences to us! The Rathaus market is off the charts!! I am definitely making this happen someday, no doubt now. It looked just magical - I fell in love with the ice rink that looked more like a path or trail than a rink, loved the beautifully lit Rathaus and the ferris wheel and the cute crafts and ornaments that you can buy there. When you said this was the place your Christmas Market dreams were made of, I couldn't relate more! I can't say enough how much I have loved how you're spending December in Europe - it's the best possible way to spend it - going from city to city seeing their Christmas markets and seeing how they bring their own flair to it. Krampus, etc. How much longer are you in Europe? Are you going home for Christmas? Even if this was the last Vlogmas you did, I would be happy because you did the most awesome market and shared it with us. In 2011, we went to Christkindlmarket in Chicago (which was magical but probably but a fraction of the ones in Europe) but I absolutely loved it and it made me want to go to Europe to experience the real thing. Before this month, had you ever been to any Christmas markets, in Europe or otherwise?
Thanks a lot, Amisha! I'm so happy to know that you're enjoying Vlogmas and seeing all these Christmas markets, like we are! It really is a fantastic way to spend the lead up to Christmas. Definitely gets you in the spirit! I did an exchange in Germany when I was younger so I'd been to Christmas markets then and felt the magic of them :) I'd also been in Toronto and Chicago - I think that's all. It's been so nice to see how they're similar and unique in their own ways. Each one - even in the same city - has a different personality and vibe. We are indeed heading home for Christmas, which will be lovely, but Vlogmas will continue right up to Christmas Day! I think you'll enjoy the next ones too!
IT’S SO YUMMY ! 😋😋😋😋😋it’s my dream to go to Austria !
This is the video that made me subscribe. Seriously love your bubbly personality! Feels like us viewers are your besties there with you both. c:
Wow! Just Wow! That is the most fun, and feel good thing, I have seen about Christmas for too long now!
Your joy was infectious….And why not? You were indeed in the middle of not just beauty….But WONDER…!!
I was carried along in your gleeful exuberance…I felt the magic of Christmas….The way I remember it from my childhood!
I LOVED you and Santa! I LOVED the MUSIC! Thank you a MILLION times for those wistful, joyous moments!
I'm so happy to hear that - thank you! I was so excited it felt like I was brimming over with joy. What an incredible place to be at Christmastime! :)
I will be visiting the Vienna market this Christmas and absolutely can't wait to experience this in person, and see what goodies I will come across!! Thank you for this video! So much to do and see in Vienna in just 2 days there!
Hi Cindy! I'm SO excited for you! Vienna is such a wonderful city and it feels all dressed up at Christmas. I don't know if you saw the other videos we made in Vienna but I'll link them in case they're helpful as you're planning your trip. This one is about some of my favourite coffee houses (and a great restaurant): bit.ly/2rayp2R. This one has some of top recommendations for the city too: bit.ly/2HflOGy. And if you're in that area longer and want to see more Christmas markets we made a whole series about them here: bit.ly/christmasmarketplaylist (Bratislava is about an hour from Vienna by bus, for example). Let me know if you have any questions and hope you have a FANTASTIC - or, I should say, fantastisch! - time :)
I will also be in Vienna for a couple of days late November as part of a 7day river cruise on the Danube to see several Christmas Markets. Thank you for this video - greatly helps me decide which ones to see in limited time in Vienna!
the food! the decorations so much fun!
Omg I'm travelling in December and your excitiment has gone through the screen and has touched my heart ❤ tears in my eyes and need to go now, thanks for so much
I subscribed just for your lovely personality. Thank you for the tour!
Merry Christmas 2019!
Magical
Very ✨
Go to Karlsplatz! It's an all Handicraft market and they also have food, sometimes animals and hay for kids to play in!
Oh wow! I just discover your channel! It has that special christmas vibe and you sound awesome, I wanna visit that market with my gf and some friends, hopefully this year. I'll see more of your videos! Thanks for sharing
Hey Guillermo! Thank you! Vienna is so lovely at Christmas - hope you're able to visit and enjoy it too! Just thinking about Christmas markets makes me feel happy :)
@@EileenAldis Yeah! Me too! Greetings from México
I miss Mexico!! Where do you live?
@@EileenAldis I live in Mérida, Yucatán! Where are tons of cenotes
My adult daughter and I plan to go to Nuremburg right before Christmas this coming Christmas. Trying to decide if Vienna or Brussels will be the next stop for Christmas to new years. What do you suggest?
My hubby n I r planning on visiting Germany over the winter and the Christmas markets is what I’m most excited for!!! Eeeeek!
Ooh that's exciting! Where in Germany are you headed?
Experiencing markets is one of my most favorite part of travelling. Austria's markets look so magical, I could lose hours and hours!
Me too! Markets of all kinds! Austria KNOWS how to do a Christmas Market. My goodness. I just loved wandering around.
Thank you, thank you so much for this video!! So beautiful!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤
❤️
Thank you for sharing!
I want to go there!!! The lights sparkle like you!
Elieen, you have to visit SCHONBRUNN PALACE Christmas Market next time you come here! I am English living in Vienna since September 2017, and I can verify what Elieen has said about the magical 'almost fairyland' atmosphere to be found at the Christmas Markets in Vienna. Vienna holds at least '20' Christmas Markets within it's city and some of them start today (17th November), but most begin on 23rd November and run up until Christmas Day, so if you are thinking of travelling to Vienna, book for as many days as possible so that you can visit as many Christmas Markets as you can. They all have beautiful backdrops - many are held in various beautiful Palace Grounds or in front of architecturely stunning Museum buildings etc., etc.,
Hi Lorraine! Thanks for the suggestion :) I've visited the palace on another trip to Vienna but didn't this time. I bet it's incredible at Christmas. How do you find living in Vienna? We made other videos there you might find interesting: bit.ly/ViennaPlaylist. Enjoy all the Christmas markets this year!
This looks heavenly!
It really is ❤️
Love Love Vienna and at this time of year it is SO SPECIAL...Thank you :)
Thank you, Penny! I couldn't agree more :)

Very much enjoyed this! We are going to have to make a trip at this time of the year. Thanks for sharing.
That's awesome to hear! Hope you love it as much as we did :)
I love your personality! We are going for our 30th anniversary in December and you made me hopeful that it will be wonderful! Thank you

What a wonderful way to celebrate Christmas! We were in Vienna in August - a very different vibe.
It certainly was! Vienna gets all 'dressed up' for Christmas and the city just glistens and sparkles. A wonderful place to be at Christmastime. I've been in warmer weather, too, and also loved it. Just a beautiful city :) Hope you enjoyed it!
I love Vienna in Christmas!

U r so beautiful Eileen. I can tell from the way u shine so truthfully. Living in a country where Christmas just comes n goes as a festival of the minorities I have always had a desire to see it in full bloom in countries where it is officially celebrated,even though I don't belong to any system of thought or religion I just adore Christmas for its spirit n vibe. Thank for this. Christmas coming up soon. Wherever u r I wish u n urs a merry Christmas all the way from the city of Lahore in Pakistan. Lots of love n smiles from a sister in L.ight and yes I just subscribed 😀👍🌈🌈🌈🍁💞

Just stumbled on this - I love how excited you are - as a local you don't experience it like that anymore. You really brought me back to my early childhood and made me proud of our Christmas tradition. If you ever come back or just want to skype with someone from austria - give me a call :D
Grüße aus Österreich :)
I love your videos excellent Christmas scenes in Austria, when you return to Mexico City. Greetings.

Wow
Expect every St. Nicholas to have clementines and nuts n Austria now, nice surprise. Have St. Nicholas devotion with lots of love. My Europe ancestry is mostly Austrian, feel inherited alot from 1580s emigrants minus their Protestant religion. Also had a sweet dog named Clementine. Will have to find recipe for cinnamon star & that mug of gluhwein looks so good. Thanks for posting, learned something new. >^^
Hello, I will go to vienna for 29 december to 1 of january but i dont know if in this dates will be christmas ornaments in the city!!! i need help!
Thanks!
Hey Luis, That's great you're going to Vienna! I'm not sure about the markets but best to check online for the individual dates :)
Hi Luis, the Christmas markets finish on 24 December. But there will be a ‚New Year‘s market‘ at Schönbrunn Palace and at the Michaelaplatz from 27.Dec. to 1 Jan. You will still see the Christmas street lighting/decorations as they’re switched on every day until 6 Jan.
i’m ready!
"the stuff that Christmas dreams are made out of" is exactly the best description of the Christmas markets in Vienna!! We were there a few months ago just before Christmas and it was just magical. Great video!
I'm thrilled to hear you also found the Vienna Christmas markets magical!! They are indeed and I just couldn't get enough. I swear the entire city GLISTENS at Christmastime. Absolutely loved it.
Eileen great video!
Very nice and informative video about the Christmas Markets in Vienna. By the way, I am planning to visit Vienna next December for the Christmas Markets and I'd like to stay near the biggest Christmas Market near the City Hall (Rathausplatz) It is possible from the Rathausplatz to visit the other Christmas Markets by walk? I've heard there are 25 Christmas Markets in Vienna. Thanks a lot. Benny from Malta
You could definitely visit some of the bigger ones by walk from there. Stephansplatz, Altes AKH, Karlsplatz are all close to the city center. For Spittelberg or Schönbrunn you can just take the subway :) It is not that expensive in Vienna!
Have a nice stay :)
Hi, Thanks a lot for your help and suggestions.
Yes, Benny, the delightful Christmas Market held at 'The Museum Quarter' is just a stones throw away from the Rat Haus. If you go in the late afternoon, you will then be able to also enjoy viewing the stunning architechture outside two of Vienna's greatest museums. One is a History museum and the other is an Art Museum. Also you will see a wonderful statue of Empress Marie Therese right in the middle of the museum gardens. I would then go on to the Rat Haus Christmas Market after this one so that the Rat Haus atmosphere will be even more amazing where you will come face to face with an onslaught of ice (*Ice Rink) and secret fairyland paths of magical dazzling lights.
I'm a big fan of your videos!
When does this Christmas markets start?
Hello Eileen! I love ❤️ Viena AN the entire EUROPIAN COUNTRIES. Vienna is beautiful country.
Hello Betty! :)
