Wilten sits south of Maria-Theresien-Straße on the way to Bergisel, and its small square hosts a market the organizer describes as romantic and a little crazy. Ten stalls mix handmade jewellery and one-off art pieces with food from Tyrol and further afield.
The stage is the draw. Bands play through the evenings, the Innseit'n Big Band opens the market on 23 November, and on Sunday afternoons a children's programme fills the square from 16:00. Pair it with the Kaiserweihnacht on Bergisel on a weekend, since both sit on the south side of the city.
Worth knowing
- Arrive after 16:00; the stalls stay shut during the day.
- St Nicholas visits on 6 December at 17:00, and the organizer's programme lists no Krampus run with him here.
