The Christmas market in Türkenschanzpark is an insider tip. The prices are moderate. Children have fun on the carousel. Four-legged friends like to stick their snouts in the "dog punch".

The well-known podcast star and historian Richard Hemmer recently discovered his enthusiasm for the eggnog punch and made it famous beyond Vienna's borders. Starting at four euros, visitors to Türkenschanzpark can purchase a variety of different types of punch at the stalls, which are reminiscent of little crispy houses. Mulled wine with or without alcohol costs four euros and is served in a mug for two euros. One of the most expensive hot drinks is the Feuerzangenbowle, which costs six euros.

Around the Ottoman Yunus Emre Fountain (named after the Turkish folk poet), where heavy artillery was once deployed on the battlefield, the Christmas market opens daily from 3 p.m. and at weekends from 12 p.m., nestled in the romantic setting of the park. It is still an insider tip for those who want to enjoy Christmas flair away from the hustle and bustle.

Heart-shaped waffles and Spanish delicacies
You can satisfy your hunger with chestnuts or baked potatoes. Spanish and vegan delicacies will tempt you alongside home-style classics. Many a sweet tooth will be delighted with heart-shaped waffles or Baumstriezel.

The Türkenschanzpark attracts a striking number of visitors with four-legged friends on a lead. No wonder, as there is a station with treats and "dog punch" (water).
