1. The Easter markets

Market

It is a very special thing in Vienna to go to the Easter markets. Once a year some places change into a small Easter village. There you find typical decorations, like hand-painted eggs or Easter bunnies made of wood. But also, food and drinks are offered, which is ideal to get in to the full Easter mood. One of the oldest Easter markets is located at the Freyung in Vienna and is in the city center. It is in between of some houses, on a small plaza, and perfect for a longer and relaxed stay, and for finding the right things for everybody’s home.

3. Artisan market at Spittelberg

Market

One of the loveliest alleys in Vienna is the Spittelberggasse. And on one weekend a month you will find an artisan market exhibiting the arts and crafts of local artists. You will find at the Spittelberg Market paintings, as well as jewelry. They offer specialties made of wood, glass, textile, clay and every material, which could be used to create beautiful jewelry, decorations and utilities for home use.

The first market here took place in 1983, and nobody could foresee that it would be such a success. Twice a year this market in the Neubaugasse is a fixed point to visit for young and old people. As it is located very close to Vienna’s longest shopping street, it’s quite impossible to pass over this market. The secret behind the popularity of this market is that family-owned enterprises offer their produce besides young businessmen.

Naschmarkt is located very centrally, and lies at the overbuilt part of the Wien Fluss, which is the city’s river. It is a fixed market, which can be visited throughout the whole year.

Christmas markets

Every year both young and old are looking forward to the annual Christmas markets in Vienna. There are a lot.
