Schönbrunn Palace Christmas market preparations

Overview

Preparations are underway for the Christmas market at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, which is scheduled to open on November 6, 2026, and run until January 6, 2027.

Initial reports indicated the event would feature 90 stalls with various seasonal activities. Subsequent updates noted an increase to 95 stalls offering culinary treats and traditional handicrafts. The market's centerpiece is an 80-year-old, 22-meter-tall spruce tree harvested from the Breitenfurt district, which was transported approximately 20 kilometers from the Wienerwald to the palace's Ehrenhof.

New programming for the event includes a ‘Sternensalon’ location with a panoramic terrace, weekly ice discos, musical performances, and children's crafts. While entry to the palace grounds remains free, stall operating hours are set from 10:00 to 21:00 daily, with exceptions for Christmas Eve and the following days.
