Viennese Christkindlmarkts are diverse, surprising, and always a sight to see.
Here, guests can indulge in wintery classics like Lebkuchen (gingerbread), gebrannte Mandeln (candied/burnt almonds), Maroni (roasted chestnuts) Kartoffelpuffer (potato pancakes) and Bratwurst (sausages), or more local delicacies like Käsespätzle (cheese spaetzle), Tiroler Kiachl (basically fried yeast dough patties filled with either lingonberry for the sweet or sauerkraut for the savory version), G’röste Knödel (pan fried dumplings, often with egg), or ungarische Baumkuchen (a type of spit cake, also: Kürtőskalács), and warm themselves with traditional hot drinks like Punsch or Glühwein (mulled wine). The markets, whose history goes back to the Middle Ages, are typically located in larger squares and pedestrian zones and sell seasonal foods, drinks and (often handcrafted) goods from open-air stalls. The romantic street markets typically open mid-November and last until Christmas, and enjoy a long tradition in Austria’s capital, as, indeed, they do in all of German-speaking Europe. Due to the current Covid situation, you need to provide a 2G certificate to enter the Christmas markets.Ĭhristmas markets (German: Christkindlmarkt, sometimes also Weihnachtsmarkt or Adventmarkt) are a popular staple of Vienna’s pre-Christmas season.
