Things to do in Vienna in the Winter

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

Here’s your guide to everything you need to know about visiting Vienna at Christmas.

TAKE A WALKING TOUR

There are several excellent suggestions for self-guided Vienna walking tours at Vienna Unwrapped. Our favorite was the Old Vienna Walk.

TAKE IN THE VIEW FROM ON HIGH

One of the best spots to get an incredible photo of Vienna is to climb to the top of St. Stephen’s Cathedral.

Visit Christmas Markets

These days, Vienna has TONS of Christmas Markets, each with its own personality and vibe.

Eat Viennese Christmas Market Food

Aside from the obvious, Christmas Market food is the cheapest meal in town – and during Christmas and New Years, one of the ONLY meals in town.

EXPERIENCE VIENNESE COFFEE

This is very important because dumplings are amazing and you’re going to want to eat them for every meal.

Take a Day Trip to Hallstatt

If you aren’t able to stay the night, at least take a day trip to this real-life fairytale village!
