Advent Magic Between the Palace and the High-Jet Fountain
At the historic Schwarzenbergplatz, an atmospheric Advent setting awaits you against one of Vienna’s most impressive backdrops. Surrounded by monumental palaces and stately buildings, the imposing Hochstrahlbrunnen fountain forms the centerpiece of the festively lit square.
Here, Vienna’s imperial elegance meets the vibrant flair of the modern city. Amid sparkling lights, a wintry atmosphere, and historic architecture, the Christmas market invites you to pause, savor the moment, and experience Advent in a special setting—right in the heart of Vienna.
