Enjoy Vienna’s colorful Christmas market, Austria
Vienna is a classic Advent-market destination with a tradition dating from the 13th-century and today offers over 20 different markets.
Throw in the scent of fresh bread, strudel, and candied nuts, set in spectacular surroundings, in front of a magnificent and perfectly illuminated Baroque Belvedere Palace and the neo-gothic city hall. For a totally unique market experience, head to an alternative market at Art Advent Karlsplatz where the stallholders are judged by a jury before being allowed to set up shop so offers far more than just the woollen hats, puppets, leather clothing, wooden houses, found in many of the other markets. The city, with a 600-year-long Habsburg period is a fairy tale location for those that seek culture, history, art, and design.
