A journey into the Christmas season of the imperial and royal era — atmospheric, cultural, unforgettable.

The Concept


The K&K Christmas Market takes its visitors on a journey into the glamorous Christmas season of Austria’s imperial and royal era. The location in front of Belvedere Palace provides the perfect historical backdrop for this unique experience.

Everything — decoration, music, theatre, huts, food, drinks and traditions — is inspired by the K&K era. A consistent design concept runs through the entire grounds.
