The Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas market) at Spittelberg is probably one of the most famous Vienna Christmas markets. I like this market, especially for its location, which is in the middle of a quarter with smaller buildings dating back to the Biedermeier period (first half of 19th century).
I’d recommend visiting this place early in the evening while the market isn’t that crowded and one has much more space and time to watch the architecture of the Biedermeier period. The best place to start is at a lane named Spittelberggasse.
Another remarkable detail of this market is a sample of art galleries in the houses around the Christmas stalls. So, one can change between having Gluhwein and entering another gallery full of artful items often.
