This charming Christmas market is situated in the front of the Beautiful Belvedere Palace
which in the Spring and summer has some magnificent gardens with exquisite water features, but this time of year with the rain and cold it can be a bit challenging, but its worth the effort, the Christmas market is not that large but it has plenty of space to maneuver, its not the crush of the jostling crowds of the Rathaus platz and allows you to drink your punch or Glühwein while looking around the craft stands with ease
To get there you can take the tram D which stops outside one of the entrance points on Prinz-Eugen-Straße 1030 Vienna.
