We went back to the Weiner Christkindlmarkt am Rathausplatzpark - the Vienna Christmas Market in the park by City Hall - two evenings - one on Saturday to see a weekend crowd, and on Monday afternoon and evening. Both visits had the best handmade gifts and traditional food, as well as ice skating, mugs with punch, gingerbread, decorations, Christmas ornaments, jewelry, and artisan gourmet items. Also, if you make multiple punch/mug purchases, mugs can be returned to a punch seller at that same market on the same day, and you will get a few euros back once you return them. I purchased several large decorations, and each was wrapped in flight-friendly packaging and boxed by the seller for me, at no extra cost. There are ATMs for cash Euros, which are needed, especially at food booths. The crowds were larger on the weekend, but not bad - but for sure the weekday crowd was lighter. This is a central location, so transportation is manageable. There are free restrooms - WC - but I paid a half-euro to ensure an attendant was cleaning the restroom. Lines are not too long. This market is a must-see top 10 best!

Nice park which was the site of the christmas market when I visited. Lots of small stalls and rides for children. Ice skating ring with facility to rent skates and lockers also available.

We’ve been here for Christmas, there is really good ice rink. One of the biggest Christmas fair in Vienna. You should definitely visit it in winter

(Translated by Google) Very nice and especially popular with children. Not exactly cheap, but well organized. With the entrance you get a distance measuring device that works quite well. Most of the visitors are civilized and stick to it. You get a deposit on the device back at the end. (Original) Sehr schön und vorallem bei Kindern beliebt. Nicht gerade günstig, aber toll organisiert. Man bekommt mit dem Eintritt einen Abstandmessgerät, das Recht gut funktioniert. Die meisten Besucher sind zivilisiert und halten sich daran. Pfand auf das Gerät bekommt man am Ende wieder retour.

I visited the Christmas market in front of the Rathauspark. There is currently a nice ice skating rink and route, however, the price for this seems to be fairly high. Overall the Christmas market was nice and very busy.

I was there for the Christmas market in December 2023. It was super pretty. They did such a nice job decorating everything with cute lighting. There are several vendors selling different items and delicious food and drinks. There is also a nice and long ice skating rink that you can get in. You can bring your own skates or rent them. Renting online will save you 10%.

One of the most magical Christmas markets in Vienna. If you prefer not to queue for the food, drink and gifts then visit early evening. However, you can't beat the atmosphere when it gets dark and the illuminations are at their most spectacular.

The park is not to big, but all the decorations are gorgeous, great spot to check it out during Christmas time. It gets a big crowded during the weekend but filled with the holiday spirit.

The Rathauspark is an oasis of tranquility in the city of Vienna. Gardening buffs will love the roses, which are shielded from the frost during the winter. The location of the park makes it an ideal space for city workers, tourists and wanderers to sit and take some time out whilst enjoying the city.

So nice all year round!

(Translated by Google) After the smell of horse-drawn carriages, the park impresses from afar with a pleasant gentle scent of roses. (Original) Після запаху кінних екіпажів парк здалеку вражає приємним ніжним запахом троянд.

(Translated by Google) Small cute park with lots of benches to rest. It is also possible to keep a baby elephant distance without problems c: (Original) Kleiner süßer Park mit vielen Bänken zum ausruhen. Es ist auch ohne Probleme möglich einen Babyelefanten-Abstand zu halten c:

One of the cooling island in the city center of Vienna during spring and summer. Lots of shade under old majestic trees. Tons of benches to sit on to enjoy the scenery. Two fountains, one in each half of the park, that add an extra chill vibe. The park is well maintained like all parks in Vienna, and it's nestled right in-between the Rathaus and the Burgtheater. Though there are several events taking place here during the month of July and August (nightly screenings of opera productions, with food stalls serving food from all over the world), as well as from November to February (Christkindlmarkt and Ice Skating). During these times, just avoid the park, unless you want to enjoy the offerings.

This is a wonderful park with winding paths and shady trees with fountains and sculptures. It is often a spot for events like the film festival and concerts. There are multiple public bathrooms and easy access to transportation. Very open and a nice place for a stroll in the evening or really at any time.

Beautiful gardens that host a Christmas market over December. Beautiful lights. Gets quite busy in the evenings but a must see.

Park not that big but packed with tourists for the Christmas market, couldn't walk or relax and see the shops so we just left. Come during the week and befire it gets to late if you want to enjoy it.

February 2024: With Rathaus' front entry still under renovation, Rathauspark is dominated by the most amazing Eistraum ice-skating complex of multi-level rinks linked by ice paths and an ice bridge. The majority of the park is taken by this facility once the Christmas market has gone, making Rathauspark the destination for anyone able to wear skates or simply eat würst and watch.

Beautiful place. Especially when we visited it. Full in cristmas lights and good vibes.

This year (2020), the decoration is mellow due to COVID. The theme for this year's decoration is Alpine. There are several beautiful sections. There are huge trees that are decorated. Overall it's a good effort.

nice place to take a break and chill, supper nice structure and lots of benches.

This year was an excelent organization. The place was large and the hosts were carreful.

The Christmas Market was great - beautiful lights and warm wines!

This was a very cool place to see during the Christmas time. The ice skating rink was cool. Markets were neat.

Last weihnachten I was in vienna, and the Christmas market here was amazing! You can walk hours and hours and just enjoy! Super enjoyable!

We arrived just at the opening of the Film Festival July 1, so a lot of food from all over the world was to be found at excellent prices. We were able to taste wonderful food and spritzes. The grounds and setting gorgeous. Parks well kept as the fountains. Charming. We went twice.

Un parc frumos, bine ingrijit. Fiind vara, am vazut prsoane singure sau cu copii care stateau cu paturica pe iarba. Nimeni nu ii impiedica. Iar personalul de la intretinere curata spatiul verde si uda iarba.

(Translated by Google) Despite the lack of an Advent market, it is worth visiting the beautiful lighting, figures and the "Christmas tree machine" in the Rathaus Park. Especially interesting for children, as they can set different things in motion by stepping on the pedals, or call up Christmas carols on the beautifully prepared nativity scene. Here you can visit self-made nativity scenes which clearly depict the Christmas story. The ice rink in front of the town hall is also very popular. (Original) Trotz fehlendem Adventmarkt lohnt es sich die schönen Beleuchtungen, Figuren und die "Christbaummaschine" im Rathaus Park zu besichtigen. Vor allem für Kinder interessant, da sie durch Treten von Pedalen verschiedene Dinge in Bewegung setzen, beziehungsweise Weihnachtslieder auf dem wunderschön hergerichteten Krippenpfad abrufen können. Hier sind selbst gebaute Krippen zu besichtigen welche die Weihnachtsgeschichte anschaulich darstellen. Auch der Eislaufplatz vor dem Rathaus wird sehr gerne in Anspruch genommen.

(Translated by Google) Super organized fantastic performance. (Original) Super organisiert fantastische Leistung.

On the small side compared with other children playgrounds. Clean, well organized, water fountain available. Entrance/exit from park is controlled by self closing gates, probably toddlers being unable to open them to escape.

Very nice place. Film festival event untill 4/Sept/2021. Worldwide delicious food served there.

Nice place to go out for international kitchen at nit. I and the atmosphere was wonderful.

Nice park with many benches and a play square for kids.

Great place to be. Summer festival or christmas market - always something going on there.

Filmfestival is a must visit during Summer in Vienna!

Amazing place for film Festival summer 2021. I have vaccination certificate it was easy for me enter the place.

nice walking inside this park

Great park, but even better is during late november and december because here is one of the best Christmas markets in the country. Everything is decorated like in the fairy tale, lights, holiday atmosfere, many tasty things to try out, mulled wine is a must try. Look attached pictures yourself and enjoy 😉

Christmas Bazaar, various shops setup displaying various/variety of items from christmas decors, ornaments of various kinds, handmande decorative plates, stuff toys etc. Also, there's loads of shops selling delicacies from breads of all kinds, sandwiches, beers & liquiors. You will definitely & immediately feel the spirit an Christmas when your in the place... Great feeling happy atmosphere.

One of the most beautiful squares in Vienna. The Rathaus is absolutely wonderful. During the Christmas time, the Christmasmarkt is wonderful full of lights and beautiful spots.

In Winter (or rather before Christmas) this place is always sort of magical...

Must visit park during all season. Lucky to get here during Dec 2021 lockdown. Was able to enjoy with less crowd. Beautifully decorated park between Main Street and City Center Plaza. Let the pictures justify! Lots of entertainment for kiddos and of course a nice Xmas market during Nov to Dec.

Excellent Christmas atmosphere in center of Vienna.

The xmas market and the park was beautiful. The food and "Glühwein" are super and delicious. And it was not that crowded as usual because of covid.

I've visited during Christmas market and its eyes catching. The lights, atmosphere.. etc were awesome. They check the vaccine properly at the entrance.

A great location! Christmas Market and "Wiener Eistraum" - ice skating in the winter, film festival, open air cinema and international food festival in the summer with a great atmosphere. Just visit it and enjoy.

The Christmas spirit is everywhere in this Christmas Market. We loved the shops snd the food and the drinks. Although, customer service is not at it's best. We came across some really rude people serving drinks and food at the shops, for literally no reason. Also, many of them didn't wear any masks. However we did have a good time.

Ice skating at different levels of height and at a big interesting area with nice views. Restaurants and rental of skating shoes available, with free helmet for children.

Nice park, well attended. There are renovations on the city hall which ruins the view, especially with this big ad on it, but the building looks beautiful.

Lush green park with the view of Historic building of Rat house and local artists performing at evening time, amazing experience!

Spielplatz Ameiswiese - or playground and meadow: A very lovely garden near the Danube. It seemed oddly empty when we visited, but this only added mystery to the charm. There is a sinister tower (a WW2 gun tower) at one edge.

It's pretty like the rest of Vienna but like any other tourist-heavy destinations, has a ridiculous system of paid and cash-only toilets. I would have enjoyed this park a lot more if not because of the poor public infrastructure.

We have been lucky to find the Film Festival taking place in the park: the atmosphere was really nice and the food stands were great! We managed to eat local good at a fair price in a really nice place: the park is a must-go for tourists in Vienna!

Beautiful Christmas Market, a lot of things to see and do. Great skating park, just need to watch out for people who are trying to sell used tickets. Very beautiful.

Came over for Christmas market, end of November. Packed! But with good atmosphere and many options for mulled wine and other special seasonal drinks, at oke of the several bar-typ places. Many booths with handmade gifts. One less star because of overall price of drinks and food.

We went to see the Christmas market. The park seems wonderful, with all the lights, the skating track and all the christmas decoration. It is crowded after 4 pm, because everyone comes at night. You should see that at least once in your life.

Beauty park in a central location close to all the museums in Vienna. There are benches for you to sit at and lots of shade and lush grass which is perfect for a picnic. There is also a small sandpit for kids as well.

Cool park with winding paths and plenty of seats everywhere. Located in between Parliament, city hall and arts theatre, its super easy to reach by trams, buses, cycles, or on foot. There was a film festival going on when we visited which added to the vibes of the place. The park has some cool statues and a water fountain.

This is my third time and Vienna, and in every visit, I make sure to attend one of the events near the Rathaus. Very beautiful, elegant. Highly recommended for anyone in Vienna and

When I was in Vienna there was the film festival. It was amazing, beautiful ambiance, there was a food station where you can choose to eat and drink whatever you want from different international cuisines

every year from July 1st to December 3rd. is a film festival in town hall park. there are many different restaurants from every country in the world.

I unknowingly visited the day before the Vienna marathon, so much of the park (and many of the main roads) were closed! Still a beautiful place to stroll through, very much worth a wander even if you aren’t visiting Rathaus.

a beautifully kept and well maintained park to stroll and sit down on the many park benches. especially beautiful in spring with all the tulips

Nice place to go for a walk especially if you have a dog. Busy during holiday season due to the winter wonderland stuff and also during new years. In the summer there’s the film festival and other events :)

There was the Christmas Market plenty of people, plenty of stalls and shops set up. Amazing atmosphere. I LOVE IT

Good size Christmas market and a really nice place to walk around. Only rime I've been here was at Christmas, byt I can recommend it.

Great park on christmas Best skate area of Vienna

In the winter this park gets the fairy tale story feeling. Good for kids and adults with the varuety stands selling food, sweets and drinks to choose from. The enterance is also free as most of the other public things in Vienna which are free of charge to enter.

Vienna City Hall is on Rathausplatz and is one of the most beautiful buildings of all City Halls. Its rich design, with five towers and numerous entry points are just showing the greatnes of this historical building. During festive season it is even more beautiful because of all the lights and xmas trees arround, making it the best Christmas Market experinece of Vienna. It is definately an attraction worth exploring.

Lovely Christmas market, gets extremely busy at night making it difficult to get to see the stalls properly or get food and drink. We found a gorgeous, quieter Christmas market called Spittelberg, which in our opinion was much nicer and less crowded. 15 minute Uber ride away - great food and I love how the market goes all around the little cobbled streets.
