Big Punch Test: Vienna Christmas Markets in Price Comparison

The punch and mulled wine prices vary greatly at Vienna's Christmas markets. Here is an overview of all offers at the most famous Advent markets in the federal capital.

Christmas Market at Rathausplatz

The Christmas Market at Rathausplatz is certainly one of the most famous Viennese Advent markets. Since 2022, the Christmas market in front of the Vienna City Hall has been an EcoEvent, which is why mainly organic punch and organic mulled wine are offered here. The cheapest (also organic) punch is sold here for 5 euros. The most expensive punch, a Feuerzangenbowle, is offered for 8.50 euros. The cheapest (organic!) mulled wine is also sold for 5 euros, while the most expensive mulled wine is charged at 7.50 euros. The average of all offered punches at Rathausplatz is 6.50 euros. The average for mulled wine is 6.25 euros. Children's punch is usually available here for 4.50 euros. You should expect a mug deposit of 5 euros.

The VIENNA.at editorial tip: Those who value organic quality can look forward to a particularly wide range here.

Christmas Village at Maria-Theresien-Platz

The Christmas Village at Maria-Theresien-Platz is popular not only with Viennese people but also with tourists due to its location between the Art History and Natural History Museums. The cheapest punch is available here for 5.40 euros. The most expensive punch offer is 8.50 euros. The cheapest mulled wine is also available for 5.40 euros, while the most expensive mulled wine is sold for 7.50 euros. On average, the price for a punch at Maria-Theresien-Platz is 6.55 euros. The average for mulled wine is 5.95 euros. A children's punch at the Christmas Village at Maria-Theresien-Platz costs on average 4.80 euros. The mug deposit at this Advent market is also 5 euros.

The VIENNA.at editorial tip: A price comparison is particularly worthwhile here! An example: The price for a Schilcher mulled wine varies at Maria-Theresien-Platz between 5.80 and 7.50 euros.

Christmas Market at Hof

The Christmas Market at Hof is appreciated for its manageability. This applies both to the number of stands, which are somewhat fewer than the average found at the large Viennese Advent markets, and to the offer at the individual stands, which shines with clarity and simplicity. The cheapest punch is available here for 4.50 euros. The most expensive punch is offered for 6 euros. The cheapest mulled wine at the Christmas Market at Hof costs 5 euros, while the most expensive mulled wine costs 7 euros. This results in an average punch price of 5.60 euros and an average mulled wine price of 5.90 euros. For a non-alcoholic punch, you have to pay an average of 4.15 euros at this Advent market. The mug deposit is also 5 euros here.

Christmas Market at Spittelberg

The Christmas market at Spittelberg differs from other Advent markets mainly due to its structure. While most Viennese Christmas markets are centered around a square, the Christmas market at Spittelberg winds through the smallest alleys and is therefore particularly popular with lovers of the old Viennese cityscape. Here, the cheapest punch and mulled wine are regularly offered for 4.80 euros. The most expensive punch at Spittelberg costs 8.80 euros (a Turbo Wildberry Lillet Punch), while the most expensive mulled wine costs 6.50 euros. On average, the punch prices here are "only" 5.35 euros and the mulled wine prices are also "only" 4.95 euros. Children's punch is available here from 2.80 euros (even in organic quality). The mug deposit at the Advent market at Spittelberg is only 3 euros.

The VIENNA.at editorial tip: Those who do not want to spend too much money on their visit to the Christmas market are in the right place at the Christmas market at Spittelberg. Here you can buy punch and mulled wine comparatively cheaply and mug hunters can also make a real bargain with a 3 euro deposit.

Christmas Village at the University of Vienna Campus (Old AKH)

The campus of the University of Vienna, or better known to many as the Old AKH, offers the best conditions for a Christmas village, which is very popular not only among students. The cheapest punch and mulled wine are available here for 5.40 euros. While the most expensive mulled wine in the Christmas village at the University of Vienna campus costs 7.50 euros, you have to fork out a whopping 10.50 euros for the most expensive punch (Turbo Mozart's Marzipan Punch). On average, you can expect to pay 6.85 euros per punch at this Christmas market. For a mulled wine, the average price here is 5.80 euros. Non-alcoholic punch is available at this Christmas market almost everywhere for 4.50. For the mug deposit, you should expect the largely usual 5 euros.

The VIENNA.at editorial tip: Those with a tendency towards perfectionism will feel particularly comfortable here. The stalls are very uniform or coordinated in design.

Winter Market Prater Vienna

The Christmas market at the Vienna Prater mainly attracts tourists who also want to see the Ferris wheel. Here, the cheapest punch and mulled wine cost 5.50 euros. While the most expensive mulled wine costs "only" 6.50 euros, you have to pay 8.50 euros for the most expensive punch (a turbo punch). On average, a punch at the Ferris wheel square costs 6.25 euros. For a mulled wine, you should expect an average of 5.65 euros. Children's punch is available at this Advent market everywhere from 4 euros. For the mug deposit, you should expect 5 euros at the Winter Market Prater Vienna.

The VIENNA.at editorial tip: What many do not know: Even in the winter season, many of the Wurstelprater attractions are open in good weather - so a trip here is also worthwhile with children.

Weihnachtsmarkt am Spittelberg

Der Weihnachtsmarkt am Spittelberg unterscheidet sich von anderen Adventmärkten vor allem durch seinen Aufbau. Während die meisten Wiener Christkindlmärkte zentriert an einem Platz aufgebaut sind, schlängelt sich der Weihnachtsmarkt am Spittelberg durch teils kleinste Gasserl und erfreut sich daher besonders bei Liebhabern des Altwiener Stadtbilds höchster Beliebtheit. Hier wird der günstigste Punsch und der günstigste Glühwein regelmäßig um 4,80 Euro angeboten. Der teuerste Punsch kostet am Spittelberg 8,80 Euro (ein Turbo Wildberry Lillet Punsch), während der teuerste Glühwein 6,50 Euro kostet. Im Durchschnitt kommen die Punsch-Preise hier auf "nur" 5,35 Euro und die Glühwein-Preise auf ebenfalls "nur" 4,95 Euro. Kinderpunsch gibt es hier bereits ab 2,80 Euro (sogar in Bio-Qualität). Der Häferl-Pfand am Adventmarkt am Spittelberg liegt bei nur 3 Euro.

Der VIENNA.at-Redaktionstipp: Wer für den Christkindlmarkt-Besuch nicht ganz so viel Geld ausgeben möchte, ist beim Weihnachtsmarkt am Spittelberg genau richtig. Hier gibt es Punsch und Glühwein vergleichsweise günstig zu erwerben und auch Häferl-Jäger können hier mit 3 Euro Pfand ein richtiges Schnäppchen machen.

Weihnachtsdorf am Campus der Uni Wien (Altes AKH)

Der Campus der Universität Wien, bzw. vielen besser bekannt als das Alte AKH, bietet durch seine Gegebenheiten die besten Voraussetzungen für ein Weihnachtsdorf, das nicht nur bei Studenten sehr beliebt ist. Der günstigste Punsch und der günstigste Glühwein sind hier um 5,40 Euro zu haben. Während der teuerste Glühwein im Weihnachtsdorf am Campus der Uni Wien 7,50 Euro kostet, muss man für den teuersten Punsch (Turbo Mozarts Marzipan Punsch) satte 10,50 Euro hinblättern. Durchschnittlich ist an diesem Weihnachtsmarkt mit 6,85 Euro pro Punsch zu rechnen. Für einen Glühwein zahlt man hier im Schnitt 5,80 Euro. Anti-alkoholischen Punsch gibt es an diesem Christkindlmarkt fast überall um 4,50 zu kaufen. Für den Häferl-Pfand muss man hier mit den weitgehend üblichen 5 Euro rechnen.

Der VIENNA.at-Redaktionstipp: Wer eine Tendenz zum Perfektionismus hat, fühlt sich hier besonders wohl. Die Standln sind sehr einheitlich bzw. aufeinander abgestimmt gestaltet.

Wintermarkt Prater Wien

Der Weihnachtsmarkt beim Wiener Prater lockt vor allem Touristen, die sich auch gleich das Riesenrad ansehen möchten. Hier kosten der günstigste Punsch und der günstigste Glühwein 5,50 Euro. Während der teuerste Glühwein "nur" 6,50 Euro kostet, muss man für den teuersten Punsch (einen Turbopunsch) 8,50 Euro zahlen. Im Durchschnitt kostet ein Punsch am Riesenradplatz 6,25 Euro. Für einen Glühwein muss man im Schnitt mit 5,65 Euro rechnen. Kinderpunsch gibt es an diesem Adventmarkt überall ab 4 Euro zu kaufen. Für den Häferl-Pfand muss man am Wintermarkt Prater Wien mit 5 Euro rechnen.

Der VIENNA.at-Redaktionstipp: Was viele nicht wissen: Auch in der Wintersaison sind bei Schönwetter viele der Wurstelprater-Attraktionen geöffnet - ein Ausflug hierher lohnt sich also auch mit Kindern.
