Perchtoldsdorf
A picturesque medieval market town just south of Vienna, centred on its historic Marktplatz flanked by a Gothic church and the ruins of a Renaissance castle tower. Known for its wine taverns (Heurigen), charming old town and excellent Christmas market, Perchtoldsdorf makes for an effortless half-day escape from the city.
Good to know
Sommerspiele Burg Perchtoldsdorf — open-air theatre in the castle courtyard runs from early July, the most atmospheric way to see the Burg.
Small, atmospheric Christmas market on the Marktplatz — reviewers call it one of the coziest near Vienna, far less crowded than the city centre ones.
'Tag der offenen Gartentüren' on May 30 — locals open their private gardens to visitors, a one-day-a-year peek behind the walls of this medieval town.
The main road bypasses the town centre, so the Marktplatz stays car-free and quiet — perfect for a wander between Heurigen tavern visits.
