The Easter and Spring Market in front of Schönbrunn Palace is regarded as one of the most romantic Easter markets. The numerous exhibitors offer all kinds of culinary delights as well as attractive Easter decorations and handicrafts against the baroque backdrop of the Palace. There is plenty of fun for children at the Easter Market outside Schönbrunn Palace: a straw maze, two boules courses, a carousel, a Ferris wheel, a children’s train and the popular traditional craft workshop.

Every year, at the Old Viennese Easter market on Freyung, a pretty old square in the Old City, the biggest tower of eggs in Europe is built with around 40,000 painted Easter eggs. There are also numerous Easter specialties ranging from the Osterpinze Easter bread to the roast Easter lamb, handicrafts, floristry and for the very little ones a creative Easter workshop and a Kasperl stage (similar to Punch & Judy). The musical entertainment at the Old Viennese Easter Market starts daily at 4.30 pm.

The Am Hof Easter Market is also fully dedicated to Easter customs with skilfully decorated eggs and flower arrangements, and also offers pretty handicrafts as well as hearty food.
