Highlights of Belvedere Palace Christmas market
Give a feast to your taste buds
The market offers a wide assortment of cuisines to pamper your taste buds. Aside from the traditional Christmas candy for your sweet tooth, you can try Glühwein, popularly known as mulled wine. It is a go-to drink to warm up your Christmas nights and spread cheer. However, if you are not big on wine, you can always find happiness in a warm cup of hot chocolate.
The market has traditional Austrian and Alpine delicacies to offer. You could try Kaiserschmarrn, a fluffy and sweet pancake dipped in plum jam, named after emperor Franz Joseph I or a fancy variety of meatloaf called Leberkäse. The most popular variety of Leberkäse is made from a combination of pork, bacon, and beef. While it might seem heavy in fats, it is truly a feast for your taste buds.
Enjoy a little Christmas shopping
From souvenirs for your loved ones to Christmas decorations for the tree at home, and traditionally crafted products, there are more than forty stalls at the market which has something for everyone. If you are a hoarder of aesthetic jewelry, you can find charming pieces made from silver and amber. You will also discover tingling scented woods, jolly hats, and wooden toys to take back with you.
After you have shopped your heart out, it is only fitting to call it a night with a ride on the reindeer train (not the one with a real reindeer, but they come close). There are small carousels for children as well. If shopping is something which doesn’t excite you, you can still take a stroll through the gleaming lanes of the well-lit market and enjoy melodic Christmas carols in the background.
Live your romantic Christmas fairytale
Vienna’s Christmas markets allow couples to witness and recreate a love story like one taken from a fairytale. The Baroque palace is majestic and looks splendid during Christmas and serves as the perfect background for your romantic selfies. Make an entrance from the southern gate to capture the entire affair at once.
You can take a tour of the precious art collection at the Belvedere palace, followed by an alluring walk by the lake, and end the night by trying different food items and sharing a warm cup of your favorite beverage. The musicians playing at the palace’s patio will keep your spirits high the entire date night.
