Vienna Christmas Village Belvedere Palace

Laid out in front of one of the most emblematic buildings in Vienna, the Christmas Village Belvedere Palace is one of the most romantic, impressive, and beguiling Christmas markets in Austria. Surrounded by magnificent Baroque architecture and full of outstanding local gifts, this market will make you feel like royalty. You’ll find more than 40 festively decorated stalls here that focus on superior quality arts and crafts. Jewelry made from amber and Murano glass, fragrant handmade soaps, beautifully scented candles, hand-painted ceramics, and drinking horns made from real horns are just some of the things you can pick up here.

Although it's fun to browse the market stalls, the setting is what makes this market stand out. The intricately decorated façade of the palace, bathed in golden lights, and the sparkling reflections of star-shaped ornaments in the neighboring lake give this area the appearance of a real-life winter postcard. The Christmas Village Belvedere Palace, like many other Christmas markets in Austria, transforms into a New Year's market from December 26 until early January.
