Prater Winter Market
Wintermarkt (which translates to winter market) is taking place again this year at Riesenradplatz! Starting on Sat, November 20th, Wintermarkt offers you the typical Viennese Christmas market atmosphere and gives you an opportunity to leave your crazy everyday life behind (at least for a few hours). There are of course all the classics – from (children's) punch, mulled wine, chocolate fruits, baked potatoes, waffles, langos and Co. to the Wintermarkt mug with a new motif.
In addition, Wintermarkt provides you with wonderful live music from Wednesday to Sunday at 7:00 p.m. Artists and bands from pop, rock, blues, soul, and gospel perform live at the Winter Market stage. And – for all fans – the Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert will be broadcast live on January 1st at 11:00 a.m.! And of course, we've got the detailed program for you.
