🥶It’s true you’ll freeze in Vienna… but don’t make these 5 Christmas market mistakes when visiting (according to locals)👇🏻
✨Only visiting the famous ones:
Rathausplatz & Schönbrunn are great, but Spittelberg gives you real local magic.
✨Not dressing warmly enough:
Vienna can be freezing; gloves, scarves, thermals and layers are your friends!!
✨Not bringing cash:
Some stalls don’t accept cards, so you’ll want small bills and coins.
✨Wrong market order:
Some close earlier, plan the route or you’ll arrive to closed stalls (learnt the hard way😭)
✨Missing special events:
Live music, performances, candle lighting… people don’t know they exist. Ask locals for recommendations or use @getyourguide app to check what are the occurring activities/ events.

💡Bonus tip: grab Gebrannte Mandeln (sugared almonds) and Maroni (roasted chestnuts) they’re super easy to find and usually with shorter queues. You’ll pay around 5–7€ per portion.

🎄Overall, food at Vienna’s Christmas Markets is on the pricey side, so budget around 50–70€ per day, especially if you’re planning to enjoy live performances and visit museums.

Save this for your Vienna trip in Christmas!!✨🎄
