Christmas markets in Vienna

From mid-November until Christmas, Vienna’s most beautiful squares are once again transformed into magical Christmas markets. The old town and shopping streets are decorated with festive lights and put the city in a Christmassy mood.

The Christmas market at Schönbrunn Palace has already opened!

Michaelina Wautier. Painter

Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna, 30.9.2025-22.2.2026

The Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna is paying tribute to an Old Master: it is dedicating its major autumn exhibition to the great Flemish Baroque artist Michaelina Wautier (around 1620-after 1682), who has been forgotten for far too long. Almost all of Wautier’s surviving works (including 29 paintings) will be on display in Vienna for the first time. She will also be presented on a par with masters of her time such as Peter Paul Rubens and Anthonis van Dyck.

We have taken on a bee sponsorship! The queen bee of our beehive is called “Emine” – just like our hard-working housekeeper!

You can also enjoy the natural honey from “our bees” at our breakfast buffet!
