Christmas Village Maria-Theresien-Platz

Christmas Village Maria-Theresien-Platz

What could be better than strolling through a Christmas market in the run-up to Christmas, drinking a punch, looking at the various stands and admiring the lights? Christmas smells and bright lights wrap up this year again at the Maria Theresien-Platz between the Natural History and the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Christmas Village between the Museums

In the midst of these impressive sights, visitors can comfortably get into the Christmas spirit between the festively decorated stalls. The traditionally opulently decorated festival area with its many small and large, festively lit Christmas trees not only makes children’s eyes shine. The Christmas Village has to offer even more for the kids. Children can participate in the children’s program of the Natural & Art History Museum.

In addition to delicious, fragrant punch and mulled wine, the numerous stalls around the Maria Theresien Monument offer not only regional delicacies but also unusual gifts and craftsmanship. In addition to the Christmas scents, the atmospheric scenery and the music invite you to linger and dream.

Not only tourists visit the festive Christmas village to enjoy the various treats and punch, the Viennese also enjoy the imposing view of Imperial Palace and Museumsquarter. The Christmas village is also easy to reach, as the city center is well connected to the public transport network.
