Wiener Christkindlmarkt at Maria-Theresien-Platz is 2 years!
Maria-Theresien-Platz, 1010 Wien, Österreich - The Christkindlmarkt at Maria-Theresien-Platz in Vienna will be suspended in 2025 and 2026. This reports vienna.at . The reason for the suspension is comprehensive redesign of the entrance areas of the art and natural history museum. The castle center, which manages Maria-Theresien-Platz, is planning extensive construction sites that would affect the attractive atmosphere of the popular Christmas market.
Burghauptmann Reinhold Sahl confirmed the two -year suspension of the market. Due to expired contracts for the operator of the market, no agreement could be made to the new tender. In addition, the construction work complicates a provisional Christmas market company. What is certain, however, is that the Christkindlmarkt should take place again after the construction work has been completed.
construction projects and new visitor attractions
A new visitor center is being built in the Hofburg parallel to the suspension of the Christmas market in the city center. Every year the Hofburg attracts around 25 million visitors, mainly tourists. The new center is to offer a central point of contact in the inner castle courtyard and was planned with a budget of three million euros. The opening is planned for spring 2026. The project also includes a facade renovation and a redesign of the lawn at Heldenplatz, which was affected by heavy rain during events.Available Christmas markets in Vienna
