The Vienna Christmas Dream in front of the Rathaus (City Hall) is among Europe’s most iconic holiday markets, featuring handmade ornaments, roasted chestnuts, and fragrant punch. Add a visit to Schönbrunn Palace’s Christmas market and an evening of Mozart or Strauss at the Musikverein, and you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a snow globe.
