"Vienna's City Hall One of Vienna's most notable structures is its stunning Rathaus, or City Hall. Designed by Friedrich von Schmidt between 1872 and 1883, the imposing Gothic structure is the seat of both the mayor and city council, and is also the backdrop for one of the most popular Christmas markets in the city."

Vienna City Hall (Rathaus) becomes pure magic during Christmas! The grand façade, already beautiful, is transformed with lights and decorations that make it feel like a winter fairy tale. The famous Rathausplatz Christmas Market adds to the charm, with dozens of stalls offering handcrafted gifts, mulled wine, and delicious treats. The ice skating rink and carousel create a cozy, festive atmosphere perfect for families and couples. Even if you’ve seen other Christmas markets, this one feels special with the stunning backdrop of the City Hall. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Vienna during the holidays!

Vienna City Hall, or the Wiener Rathaus, is a stunning Neo-Gothic building that serves as the seat of the local government. Its tall spire and detailed façade make it one of the most iconic landmarks in Vienna. When I visited, I only saw it from the outside, but it was during the winter season, and the square in front of the City Hall was transformed into an impressive ice skating rink. It wasn’t just any rink—it was large, beautifully set up, and full of lively energy. Definitely a great spot to visit, even if just to enjoy the festive atmosphere around this magnificent building!

We visited during New Year's Eve and it truly was like a fairy tale land. Everything was meticulously made. Prices were about the same everywhere in the city. There were many areas and options for all ages.

Built in the 19th century in a neo-Gothic design, it's one of the tallest and impressive buildings in Vienna. There's several tall towers, one being the most significant as a clock tower. It's right beside the Rathausplatz.

This Neo-Gothic City Hall must be the most beautiful city hall I have ever seen anywhere. The building is outstandingly intricate and looms over a garden where during Christmas time they hold a Christmas Market for the joy of Viennese people and tourists alike.
