Austrian Markets
The Christmas Markets in Vienna are an age-old tradition. Most traditionally found in a markets square in the middle of town, offering delicious food and warm drinks. The open-air stalls have homemade goods, and other goodies to stock up on whilst you're there. Don't forget to let the kids have a go on the fun fair rides too.
