Advent 2025 at the Old AKH: The Program at the Christmas Village on the Campus of the University of Vienna

New Program Highlights at the Christmas Village on the Campus of the University of Vienna

New rides, magic shows, face painting, Grandma's bakery, the Christmas workshop, and visits from Kasperl & Strolchi will make children's hearts beat faster. A puzzle rally across the Christmas Village also provides a lot of information about the university campus and the Christmas Village.

Illuminated light installations from the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales shine along the fairy tale path spread across the university campus. Saint Nicholas must not be missed: On December 6, he stops by the Josefinenalm, distributes sweets, and takes souvenir photos with his little fans.

The children's program takes place every weekend until December 23.
