    A Christmas Market with a local, neighborhood vibe!
    A wonderful Christmas market in a very walkable neighborhood. This market had more of a local feel compared to some of the larger, commercial markets in the city plazas. It didn't have as many festive lights as some but the beautifully decorated streets gave it an intimate and enjoyable holiday vibe. I highly recommend.

    Of the idle
    Perhaps one of the most delightful markets in Vienna. Full of places to eat and drink. Very much alive in the evening as it is very frequented by boys. The stalls also have special products. Shop the interesting

    The best Christmas market?
    Christmas market located along two very narrow alleys (Spittelberggasse and Gutenberggase) mainly dedicated to food and drink, although there are also craft shops. Personally, out of all the Vienna flea markets I visited, maybe I liked it the most because it had a very authentic spirit and there were not many tourists. However, it was full of Viennese!

The Spittelberg Christmas Market was one of the many Christmas Market's we went to Vienna and one of the best.It may not be a big Christmas Market but it was one of the the busiest and is surrounded by excellent pubs/bars and restaurants.
With many interesting stalls that are selling many interesting festive items and to top it all off superb food and drink stalls.We went here for a couple of hours and had cups of Glühwein And festive food which were very good and well priced.
This is a superb Christmas Market which is in an excellent area of Vienna and is worth visiting if your in this area of Vienna.Really easy to find from Stiftgasse tram stop it's a few minute's walk.(This is my first review of Spittelberg Christmas Market).

We've just got back from Vienna and what an amazing city it is, Spittleberg Market has to be one of the best little markets. It's not as big as the other markets but it was lovely and quiet when we were there, it does get busier as the day goes on. The stalls are mainly craft and there's one stall that serves Eggnog (not that rubbish we got at the Cathedral )

I love the Spittelberg Quarter on any trip to Vienna I take but this year was even more enjoyable ,going to the Christmas Market here after a two Christmas gap due to pandemic made me appreciate the area and the famous Christmas Market even more .
Not as big as the more famous Christmas Markets of the likes of Rathausplatz Christmas Market,Belvedere Christmas Market or Schonbrunn Christmas Market but no less still as beautiful and beautifully laid out down the narrow streets in this district.
We were here on the 15th November ,market looked amazing ,lots of stalls,Christmas music ,my twin brother Stephen and I enjoyed gluhwein,hot beer,waffles,kartoffelpuffer and soaked up the great vibe in this beautiful looking Christmas Market ,if you're in Vienna over the Christmas period I highly recommend you visit this very lovely looking Christmas Market.

The Spittelberg Christmas market was different to most of the other markets that we visited, which included Rathaus, Maria Theresien-platz, Schonbrunn and Belvedere, in that it was a lot smaller and was located in, and spread out amongst, a series of narrow alleys and pedestrian thoroughfares.

We had read that these markets are more focused on craft items, which we were looking forward to, rather than a lot of the very commercial ornaments and items on offer in other markets. Unfortunately we did not find that this was the case.

There were a couple of unique craft stalls but these were far outnumbered by the food and beverage stalls.

I visit Vienna regularly during the winter, but it was my first visit to this market. It is small, across several small strets, but it offers everything the bigger markets have plus a cosy feeling. Definitely would recommend it if you're near Spittelberg.

If you visit Vienna for the Christmas markets then this is definitely one to see. It has a different ambience to the other markets which can feel very samey once you have walked down one row.
Here you can find a collection of different items and is well worth a visit. It is situated along 3 alleys and so has a feel of a street market as well.

The Spittelberg Christmas Market was one of our very favorite Christmas markets.

The market is located up and down narrow streets lined with galleries/cafes/shops, many of the buildings surrounding the market date to 1800.

The food at the Spittelberg Christmas Market was outstanding. We feel that this market is more authentic than many others that we visited. We also found this market more cozy and felt it had more variety.

We went here after it was recommended to us the year before. I found it a bit too busy which wasn't helped by the fact that the streets are so narrow when the stalls are set up. There was a man giving away wire Xmas decorations for donations which we had read about and that was nice. Worth a look as it is so different to the other Xmas markets in Vienna.

There are lots of Christmas markets in Vienna and I actually like each and every one of them. Each has its own character that sets is apart from the others. And although the market by the Rathaus is the largest and most well known, the market in Spittelberg is the most intimate and possibly the least expensive of them all. Unlike the other markets which are in a plaza, the Spittelberg market is amongst narrow, cobblestone streets, intermingled with restaurants, bars and artist studios. It is unique and incredibly charming.

Of course I'm not the only one who thinks this as the market is absolutely packed. It can be a challenge to navigate the crowds. But grab a punch and take it all in!

Spittelberg is just a couple of blocks behind the MuseumsQuartier so it really isn't too hard to find.

As a yearly Christmas traveler to Vienna I have been to many of the Christmarket's and in my humble opinion the Spittelberg is by far the least commercial of all of them. I was there after traveling 10 hrs on a plane from NYC to Wein. The Market takes place in the tiny streets and alleyways of Wein. I also would like to mention that they have the best "Gluwein or Punsh of any of them. Do try some as it will keep you warm and traveling from stall to stall in the cold Wein nights. Be prepared to Not pick up cheap things from China. This is the real thing and .....did I mention the pasteries? This place is remarkable - it really is a must for a traveler to Wein to see. Enjoy!
