The choice of the Hirschstetten Flower Gardens as the venue is no coincidence. This green oasis, managed by MA 42 – the Vienna City Gardens, offers a unique atmosphere with its extensive parks and greenhouses, further enriched by the historical buildings and thematic gardens.

Spanning various areas of the gardens, the market site offers a diverse range of products. At the lovingly decorated stalls, visitors can find traditional handicrafts, unique gift ideas, and seasonal decorations. A special feature of the market is the Christmas exhibition "Christmas Fairy Tales," which enchants both young and old anew each year. This is complemented by a mood-setting music program, providing the perfect acoustic backdrop.
