Tips & Advice

  • Come by tram 26 or 27, bus 95A or 95B, or the S80 or R81 to Hirschstetten, as roadworks and detours make public transport strongly recommended.
  • If you do drive, head to the west entrance on Spargelfeldstraße, because it is the only parking option and the south entrance has no vehicle access.
  • Leave the dog at home, since dogs are banned on the whole grounds and only assistance dogs are allowed in.
  • Look for the on-site photographer and the staged photo spots if you want family pictures among the lights and floral displays.
  • Stop by the charity punch stand while browsing the more than 50 market stalls of regional specialties, crafts and tree decorations.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Extra opening days on Monday, December 7, and Tuesday, December 8, on top of the usual Thursday-to-Sunday schedule.
