What are the best New Year's markets in Vienna?
After Christmas, the famous Viennese Christkindlmärkte close up, but some are replaced by New Year's stalls. Here's where you can get your lucky charms and some punsch after December 26th.
Austrian Christmas Markets stay true to their names and close up by December 26th, leaving many people in Austria wondering why they can't just all be "winter markets" and stay open at least until the birds are singing again. If you are one of these people, the good news is that some spots are replaced by New Year's stalls, which sell all sorts of lucky charms for the coming Jahre.
In Vienna, there are around 200 stall locations in all 23 districts, where you can buy anything needed for the coming year, from lucky charms to fun articles and New Year's Eve decorations from December 27th to 31st.
In five of those locations, you can also enjoy some culinary delights - just in case you were already missing your Glühwein and some warm food in the cold weather.
