Eat, Sip, and Sparkle: A Festive Market Crawl Through Vienna

Vienna has always looked for a reason to celebrate—from the first days of spring, to the invention of beer, to ringing in the New Year, when you visit Vienna you’ll be sure to find a celebration in one of its many squares. Vienna’s most famous and coveted markets are the Christmas markets. Taking place from the middle of November to the end of December, a Viennese Christmas market is a special experience. There are large Christmas markets with hundreds of stalls selling Austrian delicacies, handmade wooden toys, souvenirs, and of course mulled cider and wine, to tiny Christmas markets wedged inside dead-end cobblestoned streets-blink-and-you’ll-have-missed-it. Each is unique and unforgettable in its own way. Join us on a whimsical Christmas market crawl that will take you to the following markets: • St. Stephen's Cathedral • Am Hof and Freyung • Rathausplatz / City Hall You will also have time in each market to shop, drink, and be merry!
