Christmas Markets in Vienna

Nothing says Christmas time like the Christmas Markets around Vienna. Little huts are set up in a mini village formation in various public spaces around the city. Punsch and glühwein are the drinks of choice and there are many edible treats on hand too. From chocolate covered strawberries to warm roasted chestnuts, various types of smoked meat and even crêpes, it's impossible not to indulge a little. Of course, once you've filled your belly with food and drink, it's time to explore all the craft stalls selling Christmas gifts and pretty little ornaments.

    This is my parents first Christmas in Vienna, and they're in love! My mom calls me every day with new discoveries and all the shops she found and how decorated and beautiful it is! Very jealous! :)

    Wish I could have been there .. :o)

    There is a market like this in the nearest city (Trondheim) but it closes up way too early :o/

    All the best - hugs!

    They definitely do close a little early, by 22:00 I think.

    Pictures turned out great!!
