Before leaving Europe for the year we had one last fling in Vienna, albeit a much colder one than last time. One experience I knew I had to have was to visit the famous Christmas markets held around the city during the six weeks before the holiday. Vienna’s oldest winter market has been on the Freyung since 1764, and today around 20 different markets can be found around town.

Aside from all the holiday decorations on sale, visitors can buy all kinds of food, from hot Bratwurst and Waffeln to cold meats.

We also checked out the night market at Spittelberg, which has a focus on crafts. The narrow streets and little bars and cafes here provide a unique and wonderful atmosphere.
Wishing everyone a fun, fabulous festive season ahead! What’s your favourite way to celebrate the holidays?
