Castelsardo, Sardinia

Metropolitan City of Sassari · Sardinia · Italy

Admission and costs
The village streets are free to explore; the optional castle visit with MIM and MOG costs €5 full admission. The museum ticket is not a pass for every church or museum and excludes ARST transport.
Getting there
Sassari is the railway reference point. ARST route 728 departs from Via Padre Zirano for Castelsardo Piazza Nuova; return services also call at Sassari Stazione FS. From Piazza Nuova, the old village and castle on Via Marconi still require an uphill walk.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
MIM inside Doria Castle offers indoor weaving collections. Winter opening is 10:00–17:00, last entry 16:00, closed on Christmas morning. The €5 ticket also includes MOG, which has different opening hours.

Vienna

State of Vienna · Austria

Admission and costs
Browsing the stalls and Rathauspark does not require a skating ticket. Ice Dream is a separate activity booked through the official shop; food, purchases and museum visits are not included in the square-based walk.
Getting there
From Wien Hauptbahnhof/Südtiroler Platz take U1 towards Leopoldau to Karlsplatz, then U2 towards Seestadt to Rathaus. Walk from Rathaus to Rathausplatz: this is the direct metro stop for the Christmas market.
Time to allow
Allow around 3 hours at the destination, excluding travel.
If it rains
The Kunsthistorisches Museum on Maria-Theresien-Platz provides an extensive indoor alternative of paintings and historical collections. It requires its own museum ticket, replacing the outdoor visit rather than forming an included market attraction.
