Enjoy the Christmas season high above the hustle and bustle with a view of the festively illuminated city - the Christmas punch terraces in Vienna make it possible.

At the highest Christmas market Vienna, in the Atmosphere Rooftop Bar on the roof of the Ritz-Carlton Vienna, visitors can look forward to a breathtaking view over the roofs of the city from November 15. Apart from warming punch, a variety of culinary treats and cocktails are served in the little cabins on the roof terrace, while the cozy chalet is the place to head to warm up.

Palais Coburg opens its doors to its atmospheric winter days again on November 22. In the heart of the city, but in an elevated position on the bastion, enjoy hot punch and eggnog, marshmallows toasted over the fire, potato pancakes, hot dogs and sweet treats for a quick snack, all in front of the backdrop of the festively illuminated palace. Extra warmth is provided by snuggly blankets and pleasant lounge music.

Despite the cold temperatures, guests' hearts are warmed on the punch terrace in the Klyo by the Danube Canal. Mulled wine, sausages and toasted almonds are served here from November 15 with a view of the Danube Canal.

The punch deck on the pool boat, which also lies on the Danube Canal, also offers a great view of Vienna's illuminated skyline. Mulled wine, cider, fried potatoes and much more can be enjoyed here under the open sky. A visit to the punch deck can also be perfectly combined with a round of curling on the pool boat.
