A Prime Location for Vienna’s Christmas Markets

“Vienna’s Christmas markets are famed for their magical atmosphere, and staying at Almanac Vienna means you are at the epicentre of everything. I recommend an afternoon spent browsing beautifully crafted ornaments, enjoying delicious Austrian delicacies, and taking in the festive lights at your own pace. Being within roving distance of this market allows you to enjoy the sights and sounds of the holidays like a native Viennese.

Almanac’s central location also makes it easy to explore other seasonal events and attractions in Vienna, such as Wiener Eistraum (Vienna’s ice skating rink) and St. Stephen’s Cathedral, all while maintaining a quiet, luxurious base to retreat to at the end of the day.”
