From 28 November to 6 December 2026, the abbey holds its Advent with stalls and a Christmas atmosphere in the courtyards. The museum visit is included and is open from 10:00 to 17:30, with last entry at 17:00. It is a good excuse to go up in the first weeks of December, when the Wachau is almost closed.
