There is more than enough to keep even the most restless soul entertained.
Its museums and many of its restaurants are open for business and public transport is operational on both Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Vienna is a perfect destination to visit as a solo traveller at Christmas. Therefore, it is important that your destination has plenty to occupy you to keep loneliness at bay. But with its focus on family togetherness, Christmas can be a particularly tough time to travel alone. Solo travel can be lonely at the best of times. If you are nervous about taking a Christmas break as a solo traveller, I completely understand. What is it Like to Visit Vienna at Christmas as a Solo Traveller? My favourite was Bratkartoffeln, a tasty pan-fried potato dish. Sausages galore, gingerbread, pancakes, doughnuts, and pastries the choice is yours. To soak up the alcohol, tuck into Viennese Christmas market food. When you’ve had enough of the warm spicy stuff, then return the mug and get your deposit back.Īlternatively, you can hold on to the mug as a cheap reminder of the time you had one glühwein too many at the Christmas market in Vienna! Once you’ve paid a deposit for a festive mug at one of the mug stalls, you can then fill it with glühwein. Not only can you pick up authentic Vienna souvenirs at the Christmas markets, including gingerbread houses or the iconic snow globes, but they are also the place to drink glühwein (mulled wine). Although it is not exactly a well-kept secret, the backdrop of the Rathaus is spectacular and its location in Old Town is central. This is a tradition dating back to the late 13 th Century, and the city has plenty of choices, each market having its own personality.Ĭhristkindlmarkt on the Rathausplatz is the biggest Christmas market in Vienna. It’s hard to beat strolling around one of these festive wonderlands, lights twinkling, the smoky aroma of roasted chestnuts perfuming the crisp night air.
