Easter Markets in Vienna

Old Viennese Easter Market

Old Viennese Easter Market
Since its launch in 1990, the "Old Viennese Easter Market" on the Freyung has become a beloved springtime tradition, offering a charming alternative to the Christmas market.

Nestled in the heart of Vienna's historic Freyung square, the market celebrates age-old customs and invites visitors to discover local craftsmanship, with artisans from Austria and beyond showcasing their work.

The market is famous for its lively music performances, puppet shows, and the iconic "Egg Mountain" – a legendary feature that attracts crowds, along with the giant Easter egg, a popular photo spot. Every year, children can also enjoy exciting adventures with Kasperl, Strolchi & friends, followed by fun activities like egg painting or Palm bouquet making. Puppeteers from the Wiener Handpuppenbühne Herta Kindler, Puppet Inge, and Dolomitenkasperl-Carmen Hron will be there to entertain young visitors.

Alongside these attractions, guests can enjoy traditional activities like the ringing of Easter bells and a selection of Easter specialties from the countryside around Vienna, creating a nostalgic atmosphere that harks back to old times.

The Freyung square itself is steeped in history. Once a Roman thoroughfare, it’s now framed by grand palaces like Palais Harrach, Palais Daun-Kinsky, and the Palais Ferstel. A remnant of its market past, the Austria Fountain still stands as a reminder of its rich heritage.
