Schloss Schönbrunn
At night the light sculptures and fountain with the music are magical – moved her to tears.
Wiener Christkindlmarkt
The most beautiful market in Vienna, a must – allow ~2 hours; ice skating and kids' area; giant lit heart show every half hour; apple punch ~€9–10 with €5 mug refund.
Graben
One of the prettiest streets with giant Christmas chandeliers – come back after dark; it gets dark by 16:00.
Suppe im Brotteig
Golden tip for the cold: pumpkin cream soup in a bread bowl for €9.40–9.90 (beef soup €10.90).
Wiener Rathaus
The backdrop of the city's prettiest Christmas market – magical at night with the lit trees in Rathauspark.
Cinnamood
Cinnamon roll paradise at Mariahilfer Str. 74A — take the salted caramel; also berry, blueberry and Dubai Dream pistachio rolls.
Mariahilfer Straße
A stunning street packed with shops — came on a recommendation and loved it.
Steigenberger Icon Herrenhof Wien
Not cheap, but the location is excellent – short walk to many Christmas markets; the pumpkin soup at the hotel cafe (~€10) was amazing.
BILLA Teinfaltstraße
Last-day stop in the 1st district to stock up on Austrian chocolate — Manner, Knoppers, Milka winter editions, peanut butter cups.
Demel
Try the Kaiserschmarrn – small portion €7.90; use the takeaway line, it barely had a queue. Tasty like a crumbled pancake, better with chocolate than jam.
Figlmüller
Vienna's most famous schnitzel – book well ahead or expect a long line. The potato salad is perfect, worth queueing for alone; there's also a vegan schnitzel.
Kohlmarkt
Luxury shopping street with beautiful Christmas chandeliers and a giant red bow photo spot – best in the evening.
Weihnachtsmarkt am Stephansplatz
The location in front of the cathedral is amazing; restaurants nearby are boiling, so dress in layers you can peel off.
Alt Wiener Christkindlmarkt am Freyung
Cute but fairly small; right across from it a stall sells really tasty feta-and-spinach pastry. Potato latke €5 with garlic sauce – heavy.
Café Conditorei Sluka
Another pretty Christmas-decorated spot for photos.
Freiraum
Facade covered in dozens of teddy bears, pines and lights at Christmas — a stunning spot for photos.
Gerstner K.u.K. Hofzuckerbäcker
Beautiful Christmas-decorated facade at Palais Todesco – a short walk from the red bow photo spot.
Herrengasse
Beautiful golden Christmas light installations – nice street to stroll at night.
Karlskirche
The Christmas market sits right at the foot of the church — very pretty with the lights.
Popp & Kretschmer Modehandels GmbH
Search 'Popp & Kretschmer Modehandels GmbH' on Google Maps to find the giant red bow photo spot – expect lots of people photographing.

Special sandwiches – the tofu one was very sweet, the avocado one was nice; cute place but not wow.

Schloss Belvedere
Come in daylight to actually see the palace, not just the market.
Tarama Bagels
Rated 4.7 online; the egg, cheese and avocado bagel was fine but in her view just a cute place, nothing more.
