From mid-November Vienna's squares fill with Christmas markets, and churches and palaces host Advent concerts almost every night. The tours on this page include guided walks through several markets with mulled wine and food tastings, Christmas concerts and evening visits to the market and lights at Schönbrunn.

Before you book

Most markets run from 13 November to 23 or 26 December 2026, with Schönbrunn's market and the Imperial Lights trail continuing to 6 January 2027. Markets are busiest on Friday and Saturday evenings, so a weekday or afternoon tour is calmer. Dress warmly, as tours spend most of their time outdoors.
