Vienna: Guided Schönbrunn Palace Christmas Market Tour + Apple Strudel Tasting
About this experience
Join a small-group guided tour of the Schönbrunn Palace Christmas market and experience the festive atmosphere.
Start at Gerstner, the former Imperial and Royal Court Confectioner. Watch a live demonstration of traditional apple strudel preparation as the baker stretches the dough by hand, then enjoy a slice with a hot drink.
Your guide will then take you through the Christmas market in front of the palace. Learn about Viennese Christmas traditions and enjoy two mugs of mulled wine (Glühwein) or punsch (a non-alcoholic option is available), plus a seasonal snack, with mug deposits included.
After the guided tour, you can choose the Imperial Lights option to visit the illuminated light garden in the palace grounds.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
