Another great weekend in another beautiful European city. Like Stockholm, we had no preconceived ideas and were pleasantly surprised with how much we enjoyed Vienna. This was even better because we got to share it with our friends Linda and Colin. The main reason we went was because we had read great things about the Christmas markets and this is a city that knows how to do Christmas. Many of the things we associate with Christmas like trees, evergreen boughs, yule logs and mistletoe originate from this region. There were several markets throughout the city and we visited 5 of them. Each one a little different than the others but they were all well-attended.
Lots of great stuff to choose from.
The food was incredible. The Viennese are known for their sweet tooth and the pastries and cakes were delicious. This cream ring was enormous and it weighed a ton.
Lots of great sausages as well.
The market looked even better at night.
It wasn't just the markets either, they had the whole city decorated. Here is one of the trams passing though downtown.
The lights over the streets were impressive.
If you love Christmas, you should really visit Vienna at some point. I'd love to go back.
