Weihnachtsmarkt Schloss Schonbrunn

About

The Schönbrunn Easter Market (Ostermarkt Schloss Schönbrunn) is a vibrant spring festival that takes place in the picturesque courtyard of the historic Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. It runs from March 27 until April 21, 2025, offering a whimsical blend of traditional crafts, local delicacies, musical performances, and family‑friendly entertainment. Visitors stroll through a colorful array of stalls selling handmade jewelry, ceramics, seasonal treats, and gourmet foods, while enjoying live jazz, Viennese songs, and classic Waltz tunes. Adventurers can also explore the Jubilee Egg – a 12‑metre‑high Easter portal – and relax on the grassy Genusswiese, where seasonal flowers abound. The market’s highlight is its family‑oriented program. Free yoga sessions under the open sky, a rotary carousel, a giant Ferris wheel, a narrow mini‑train, boules lawns, and a puzzle‑rally game are just a few of the attractions that keep children and adults alike entertained. The market also offers free admission, though a small rental fee applies for certain activities such as the boules set. For those who love food, the market’s culinary stalls provide Austrian favorites, international specialties, baked goods like Baumkuchen, and refreshing fruit juices. Whether you’re wandering through the historic grounds of the former Habsburg residence, catching a sunset by the palace fountains, or tasting local pastries, the Schönbrunn Easter Market promises a memorable, multicultural experience that captures the spirit of Vienna’s springtime charm.
