The trees of the surrounding City Hall park are festively decorated and radiate in a sea of lights - a Viennese experience, you'll definitely don't want to miss!

In Austria, the "Christkindl" brings the presents on christmas eve. In order to shorten the long wait for Christmas, which is certainly the most important task of the Viennese “Christkindl”, it comes to City hall square in the Advent season to read out poems and short stories. Children and adult visitors can have a chat with the Viennese “Christkindl” and can have a photo taken. 

Meet the "Christkindl" on Vienna City Hall square from 14 November to 20 December at the "Celestial stage" underneath the large Christmas tree and the Post Office in the Clouds.

The Christmas Market in front of Schönbrunn palace (from 21 November to 26 December 2015) offers an extraordinary Christmas season experience. You can find there unique handicrafts, Christmas decorations and enjoy culinary delights – like a glass of hot Punch – in the imperial setting of Schönbrunn Palace. 

Christmas with the Vienna Boys' Choir" at MuTh offers with the Christmas Concert "Good Shepherds" Shepherd Songs from around the world as well as Choirs and arias from "Messiah" by Georg Friedrich Händel.
