Each December, Vienna transforms into a winter wonderland. The aroma of roasted chestnuts and mulled wine drifts through the air, choirs sing in glowing squares, and centuries-old palaces sparkle with festive lights. Visiting Vienna’s Christmas markets in 2025 means stepping straight into a living postcard – a celebration of tradition, taste, and timeless beauty.
But where should you stay to make the most of it? While many visitors book hotels in the city center, the real secret to a magical Viennese Christmas lies just beyond the tourist crowds – in the city’s most authentic and well-connected districts.
At Jimmy’s Apartments, we offer beautifully designed, fully equipped apartments in Landstraße (3rd district), Favoriten (10th district), and Simmering (11th district) – each providing the comfort of home, excellent transport links, and easy access to all of Vienna’s Christmas markets.
Let’s unwrap the magic of these three neighborhoods and discover your perfect place to stay in Vienna for Christmas 2025.
Landstraße: Imperial Elegance Meets Christmas Magic
The 3rd district, Landstraße, embodies Vienna’s classic charm – elegant boulevards, diplomatic mansions, and a touch of imperial grandeur. It’s a district where history meets sophistication, and where some of the city’s most picturesque Christmas scenes come to life.
Don’t Miss: The Belvedere Palace Christmas Market
The Weihnachtsdorf Schloss Belvedere is one of Vienna’s most romantic Christmas markets. The baroque palace forms a dazzling backdrop as twinkling lights reflect off the pond. Here you’ll find high-quality artisan crafts, handmade gifts, and Austrian delicacies like Kaiserschmarrn and hot punch.
From Landstraße, you can reach other central markets – Stephansplatz, Karlsplatz, and the modern WIENterzauber at Marx Halle – in just a few minutes by tram or on foot.
After a day of sightseeing and market hopping, unwind at Jimmy’s Apartments Emerald. Nestled in the heart of Landstraße, it offers modern comfort, elegant design, and peace just moments away from the festive bustle.
