Highlights
For just two weeks in spring we modify our “Hidden Gems” to capture the Easter Spirit with its markets, special foods and rituals. Traditional Easter decorations and artfully decorated eggs, culinary treats and a program of music await you at Vienna's Easter markets. There’re all sorts of entertainment for young visitors to the markets. The Am Hof Easter Market is also fully dedicated to Easter customs with skillfully decorated eggs and flower arrangements and offers pretty handicrafts as well as hearty food. Every year, at the Old Viennese Easter market on Freyung, a pretty old square in the Old City, the tower of eggs is built with around 40,000 painted Easter eggs. There are also numerous Easter specialties ranging from the Osterpinze Easter bread to the roast Easter lamb, handicrafts, floristry and for the very little ones a creative Easter workshop and a puppet theater.

Due to the confinement of available space, it was built in a very compact form and the interior makes an overwhelming impression on the visitor with its surprisingly rich interior filled with golden stucco. In 1970 it was transferred to the priests of the Opus Dei.
Embedded in one of the city’s most atmospheric neighborhood this square tells the story of Jewish Christioan interaction over a span of seven hundred years.
