Snowflake market in the district museum: magical Advent season in Vienna!
Now it's getting Christmassy in the heart of Neubau! This changes on November 16th and 30th and December 14th New district museum building into a magical indoor snowflake market. On these three Sundays, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., visitors can enjoy 8 handmade products and homemade moon punch in Stiftgasse. The perfect opportunity to find special Christmas gifts!
But that's not all: musical accompaniment is also offered, particularly suitable for the Christmas season, which underlines the festive mood. In addition to the market stalls, visitors can also get active: A cookie baking workshop will take place on December 6th, led by nutritionist Christina Lachkovics-Budschedl. Anyone who would like to bake their own cookies and take them home is welcome.
Christmas craft lessons in the museum
Another highlight is the craft workshop on December 14th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. All craft enthusiasts who can use scissors and glue are welcome here. The craft contribution varies between 3 and 15 euros, depending on the material consumption. Ten percent of the sales from the snowflake market benefit the district museum, which makes this event a great experience.
But it's not just the district museum that's feeling Christmassy! The Christmas market in Vienna has a long tradition that dates back to 1298. The Christmas market in Vienna is known for its illuminated stalls and festive atmosphere, and is now home to over 10 different markets. The town hall Christmas market, which is open until December 26th, and the market in front of the impressive backdrop of Schönbrunn Palace, which opens its doors until December 23rd, are very popular.
