<\/figure>\n\n\n\nChristmas in Austria is a big deal. Winter can get pretty cold in Vienna, so it\u2019s no surprise that the locals are very much into creating a warm festive atmosphere. And the gl\u00fchwein helps too.
Vienna is renowned for its Christmas markets<\/a>, and there\u2019s no better way to explore the local culture than by eating, drinking, and browsing your way through the festive stalls here. Check out the Christmas festivities on Rathausplatz, featuring spectacular illuminations, 150 different stalls, and an authentic ice rink for you to channel your inner Yuzuru Hanyu<\/a> on.
You can also visit the Christmas Village on Maria-Theresien-Platz, which is right next to the Kunsthistorisches Museum<\/a>. In other words, you can admire masterpieces by Caravaggio, Titian, Peter Paul Rubens and more, before rewarding yourself for being so cultured with some festive Austrian treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Experience the world\u2019s best classical concerts<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAs the spiritual home of classical music icons like Mozart, there\u2019s no better place in the world to go see a performance. Even if you\u2019re not a devoted Liszt-lover or Beethoven-bae, seeing (well, hearing) a professional orchestra play famous pieces in person is a seriously impressive \u2013 sometimes life-changing \u2013 experience. You never know until you try it.
Luckily, winter happens to be the perfect time to try it, with the annual Mozart and Strauss New Year\u2019s Eve Concert<\/a> taking place on December 31st. Located in the opulent Renaissance-style Kursalon<\/a>, this combination of music, romance, and fireworks is the closest any of us will ever get to a real-life fairy tale.
Treat yourself by listening to some of the most treasured musical creations by Austrian artists. In terms of legacy, there\u2019s no composer greater than Mozart, who has cemented himself as the single-biggest musical genius in the history of humanity. And Strauss was pretty good too. Sorry, Johann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/span>Make getting around easier with the Vienna Pass<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
