Christmas in Vienna.

Choosing a Vienna Christmas market in 2026

Vienna’s four markets in this guide do not all open and close on the same dates. Schönbrunn Palace begins on 6 November and continues into early January, while the Rathausplatz market runs from 13 November to 26 December. Maria-Theresien-Platz and Belvedere Palace begin on 20 November.

Travelling after Christmas? Compare Belvedere, scheduled until 31 December, with Schönbrunn, scheduled until 6 January. Individual holiday opening hours can differ from the published date range, so check each organiser link before setting off.
