THE PLACE TO ENJOY
EASTER IN VIENNA
In spring, Vienna attracts visitors with traditional Easter markets that invite them to stroll and browse. The offer ranges from brightly painted eggs in all colors and sizes, traditional crafts and handicrafts, to Easter jewelry and decorations as well as sweet Easter treats.
We introduce you to the three most beautiful Easter markets and give you tips on how best to reach them.
Easter market in front of Schönbrunn Palace
Probably the most beautiful Easter market in Vienna scores with its magnificent backdrop right in front of the beautiful Schönbrunn Palace. Here you can combine a visit to the Easter market with a tour of the castle.
Around 60 exhibitors will be there, as well as live music and a great children’s program.
