Tips & Advice
- Come right at opening on a Sunday if your kids want to bake sweet stick bread at the tipi campfire, since it's only offered while supplies last.
- Visit early in the season to meet Moomintroll, because his appearances only run from opening day through December 3.
- Have children write their wish lists to Joulupukki, Korvatunturi, Lapland, Finland, before you go, then post them in the red mailbox with no stamp needed.
- Take the tram to Prager Straße or Altmarkt, or the bus to Webergasse, since all three stops are right next to the market.
- Bring a card if you prefer not to carry cash, since the market accepts both EC and credit cards.
Special Events & Promotions
- Moomintroll visits on selected days from opening day through December 3, in afternoon and evening sessions.
