Christmas markets in Vienna! I’ve been to Budapest and Germany but Austria certainly has something special in the form of Vienna.
I went especially for the Christmas market and I suggest, GO!
The Rathaus market is stunning with the cathedral towering above.
An ice skating rink, a small Ferris wheel, a Heart Tree, carrousel and probably 100+ wooden Christmas market stalls.
Mulled wine Galore to keep the cold at bay and such a happy place to be. People smile!
I bought lots of ornaments, baubles, presses for the grandchildren and ourselves and the most expensive thing was TRUFFLE CHEESE 😜
If you have not yet visited Vienna and its Christmas markets 7 in total, I do recommend you do!
Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New year to you.

Fabulous experience
We initially were going to have Lisa as our guide but she became ill and we had Ute instead. She was wonderful. She picked us up at our hotel. She knew exactly which U Bahn to take to help us make the most of our time. She showed us 4 very different Christmas Markets. She explained which things were traditional (both decorations and food) and their significance. By the end of the tour when we arrived back at our hotel I felt I truly understood the Christmas traditions of Vienna and Austria. I would highly recommend this tour.

Luis is wonderful!, tour was perfect balance of history and overview of Vienna
Luis was a wonderful tour guide! He speaks perfect english and he is so warm and kind. He went at our pace, and he was very conscious of what we wanted to see/do. He took us to the Christmas markets, and bought us lovely beverages, and then took us to the Opera House, a small museum, the Hofburg Palace, among other places. It was a perfect amount of time, history and sites. I would highly recommend!

Christmas cheer
Great selection at all the markets. Great Christmas trinkets and lots of food and drink. Gluwein ceramic mugs make a nice memento
