Christmas Markets in Austria

Austria is a country that embraces the celebration of Christmas, nowhere more so than in the sheer number and variety of Christmas markets to be found in its capital Vienna and all over the country. In this book you can find Christmas markets beyond Austria's capital of Vienna, to which we've dedicated a separate book. Whether you want to enjoy a mulled wine in front of spectacular castles or find a hand-crafted Christmas decoration in cobbled streets, taste traditional Austrian gingerbread or cuddle an alpaca, the information you need is right here.
This guide takes a tour of these traditional markets, full of crafts, gifts and the flavours of Christmas. Mick and Katharina provide reviews markets in Austria, around Vienna and beyond, illustrated with photographs and including opening hours, locations and links to some of the things you'll see at each one. Essential reading for anyone visiting Austria in the winter.
