Vienna's Beautiful Karlsplatz Christmas Market / Walking Tour Weihnachtsmarkt 2022!
Karlsplatz Christmas market:
Lots of Christmas markets in Vienna have great settings. The Karlsplatz version is no exception, nestled in front of the imposing baroque Karlskirche church.
However, this market differs from its city siblings in significant ways. Its formal title is Art Advent, which gives you a decent clue as to where the emphasis lies.
Very focused on arts and crafts Excellent for unique and high-quality gifts All food and drink stalls are certified organic Good for kids, too, with a straw area and rides Just under 80 booths in 2022
2022 dates: Nov 18 – Dec 23

The divina art arts and crafts association organises the advent market. One of their requirements for those wishing to run a stand is that the products on sale must be made by the applicant themselves (no traded goods) and must gain the approval of a qualified jury.
This selection process ensures quality, but also more originality and diversity than at Christmas markets elsewhere in Vienna.
The range of products available covers clothing, jewellery, ceramics, fine art, household items, and much more. And all tend to have a particular flair or uniqueness to them.
You also have art studios, design workshops, and even a blacksmith among the booths: another indicator of the quality available.
(A special shoutout to the pen & ink drawings and print products by artist Hans Steffin at Stand 61, which left me open-mouthed in astonishment.)
As a bonus, you often find the artist or craftsperson running the stand themselves, perhaps making new items as you watch and happy to discuss their craft and processes with you.
A generous sprinkling of food and drink booths also means you won’t miss your mug of Christmas punch or mulled wine. But the fare on sale also differs a little from the normal seasonal market offerings.
You won’t find all the populist Christmas snacks: we didn’t spot any pretzels, langos or chocolate-coated fruit on our 2022 visit, for example, though we did unearth sausages and roast chestnuts. (All organic, of course, as with every food and drink stand.)
Instead of the usual, expect a more adventurous gastronomic selection drawn from Austrian and European tradition.
Booths offered such delights as Fladenbrot (flat breads), Kiachl (a kind of flat doughnut), potato goulash, Blunzengröstl (a dish involving blood sausage), buckwheat crepes, and more. We enjoyed a Raclette (melted cheese on bread, which also left a glorious scent hanging in the air around the booth).
