Had a great few days in December at the Christmas market in Vienna. There are lots of markets to visit with the most popular being in the Rathaus Platz. Be warned its very crowded! My personal favourites were at Spittelberg and the Schonnbrun palace. My tip – don’t go at the weekend its too busy , otherwise fab!
We opted for an apartment in an 18th century building near the Rathaus with typical high ceilings and lots of space. The Vienna card for 24/48 hour travel on buses, trams and metros is very good value and easy to use. Vienna is clean, safe and has lots of beautiful architecture so well worth a visit. (The Gluhwein was good too!)
