This was probably the best Christmas atmosphere and had an ice rink which seemed to weave in and out of the stalls *unless my gluhwein gave me that impression! Probably the best for a beer/gluhwein and Langos.


We hit Schonbrunn Palace in the daytime for their market which was more 'crafty' and IMO had better stalls and seemed more organised in the layout but was a little smaller than the Rathaus market but still had a great atmosphere.

I think we've probably (unintentionally) visited 6-8 markets and side spills; at all times of the day/afternoon/evening; and they've all been atmospheric. I don't think there would be a bad one to visit.
