My husband and I will be in Vienna for Christmas from 23-27 December. We are staying in the Rennaisance Vienna Hotel a little way out of the City but we are told that public transport links are good. Can anyone advise us how to best spend our time. I hear that the Christmas markets are good but will they still be operating? Also we would like to %26#39;take in%26#39; some music. Are there any concerts in the afternoon and can we purchase tickets beforehand? Any other tips and suggestions which would make our trip/christmas a memorable one would be greatly appeciated. Finally is there likely to be snow and a festive atmosphere?

We can not predict weather, but in the past several years it has been cold but no snow during this time.
However , it will be festive what ever the weather. To me, Vienna is best seen at this magical time of the year.
As soon as you arrive, go to the various Christmas Markets.
They will be open all day and into the evening on the 23rd.
most will close relatively early on the 24th. ( late afternoon)
I believe only the market at Schonbrunn Palace is open on the 25th.
Too many concerts are playing to mention here.
Look to Trip Advisor and Vienna Tourist website for more info.
Some will be in the afternoon, most at night.
Definitely purchase tickets before your visit as the city will be full of tourists during this period and tickets to good concerts, opera , and operettas will be hard to find if you wait too long.
Buy a 3 day ticket for public transport. Vienna has an excelent system that will take you to or near all sights.Excelent value.
Several lines will be near your hotel including subway U-4.
