Vienna Christmas Markets: More of our favorite things
Ah, Vienna – the city fills us with music. We can’t help it, but it also makes us think of The Sound of Music, even though that musical took place in another Christmas “markt” town, Salzburg. It also makes us think of the fancy Hapsburg family and some of the brightest Christmas lights in Europe.
On Wednesday we put together a photo montage of some of our favorite things about Salzburg’s Christmas markets, so today we offer “some more of our favorite things” about Vienna’s Christmas markets.
(Cue: music!)
Brown paper packages (and puppets and ornaments) tied up with string…

**Tip: Be sure to pick up a Mozart-themed tree ornament, of which there are many.
Cream colored (Ok, so he’s brown.) ponies and crisp apple streudels…
