From mid-November to New Year's Eve, Vienna’s prettiest squares transform into magical Christmas markets. The generously illuminated monumental buildings along the Ring make a fabulous backdrop and the aroma of Christmas bakery items and hot punch creates a pre-Christmas atmosphere. Snack on cream-filled pastries, candied fruit, roasted chestnuts, and Weihnachtspunsch (a spiced "Christmas punch" of wine, brandy, or schnapps sweetened with warm fruit juices).
Located on almost every corner of the city, there’s a wealth of market huts to browse with the largest marker in front of the impressive City Hall.
Get in the holiday spirit on this 2.5-hour walking tour of Vienna’s Christmas Markets in some of the city’s most picturesque squares.

My wife and I are quite familiar with Vienna as we've visited the city several times and have grown to love the beautiful Christmas markets. To make our latest visit even more special, we decided to book a private tour of the markets with a local guide. Our goal was to experience the holiday atmosphere like true locals, gain some insights, and learn about the differences between the various markets.
Luckily, we were able to book Brigitte as our guide. From the moment we met her in the hotel lobby, we felt like we were meeting an old friend. Brigitte took us to five different markets, and along the way, showed us some hidden gems that we would never have discovered on our own.
We had a wonderful time with Brigitte, and before we said our goodbyes, she gave us some fantastic restaurant recommendations that came in very handy.
Thank you, Brigitte, for helping us create such beautiful memories. We look forward to seeing you again when we return to your stunning city.

Our tour guide Brigitte was excellent. When we arrived at the meeting point, she was already there waiting for us. It was a rainy night, however, her knowledge of the area, and gems of the city, allowed us to see the markets, stay relatively dry, and seek shelter at historic sites when the rain or wind was too strong. This tour was our first activity in Vienna, and a great start, given her extensive local knowledge. I highly recommend her services.

Hello,
While our guide was able to help us negotiate the streets of Vienna and find the Xmas markets, we did not feel that she was engaged or enthusiastic about the markets. Of course the markets were crowded, but she did not make the visits interesting or fun. We would have like to hear about the history of the markets and to have had suggestions about food to try etc.. Instead, we felt as though it was about her personal feelings regarding crows, quality of food and better places to visit..

Sabine was absolutely amazing. She is very knowledgeable and an incredible tour guide. She took us to the markets, offered food and wine suggestions and help us understand the public transit system. Highly recommended this tour.

Tour guide met us at our hotel. We criss crossed old town. He provided insights into some of the local sculptures and architecture. We had a sausage from a street vendor. Visited Stephens Platz, city hall and a few hidden gems along the way. Tour guide has a sense of humor.
