Christmas markets in Vienna are one of the biggest attractions of European advent tourism. Their tradition dates back to 1296, when Albrecht I allowed Viennese citizens to organize the December Krippenmarkt. Today you will find Christmas markets scattered throughout the Austrian capital. It's hard to say if there's a better place to soak up the holiday spirit. When romantic Vienna is permeated with warm lights, enticing aromas and the melody of carols, it's hard to resist the emotion of Austrian capital turns into a Christmas metropolis in December. Viennese Christmas markets are scattered all over the city. You'd need Santa's sleigh to visit them all - so just pick the few that interest you the most. In all the markets you will find traditional goodies, handicrafts, Christmas gifts and souvenirs.
