Good to know
- Schönbrunn's market stays open past Christmas, and the ice rink at the City Hall keeps running into early January.
- Spittelberg opens only in the afternoon on weekdays, so plan an evening visit; Hellbrunn is closed on most Mondays.
- On the Wolfgangsee, the markets and the lake boats both run Wednesday to Sunday, so you can hop between villages by boat.
