The Christmas market by the Karlskirche, officially known as the Art Advent Market, is one of the city’s most enchanting Advent events. Set against the stunning baroque façade of St. Charles Church (Karlskirche), it perfectly blends traditional holiday spirit with a creative touch.
Art Advent Market on the Karlsplatz
Visitors can explore beautifully crafted artisan objects, regional delicacies, and warm drinks served in a festive atmosphere. The market on the Karlsplatz and in front of the Karlskirche is known for its strong focus on sustainability, offering organic food, and fair-trade products.
A shallow pool in front of the church is transformed into a playground filled with straw and lights, creating a joyful space for children. Live music, art installations, and the sounds of artisans hammering and polishing their wares contribute to its unique cultural flair.
