Vienna effervesces with Xmas delight, and the holiday season is simply the best joyful season to head to this enchanting city. Twinkling christmas lights glimmer, hung from every imaginable building and tree, while the city's signature Xmas markets spring to life with stalls retailing hand crafted gifts and sellers hawking mulled wine and street foods.
Whilst meandering through the markets, enjoy classic Austrian treats, like lebkuchen (gingerbread), waffles, maroni (sweet chestnuts), bratwurst and spiced, warm glühwein (mulled wine).
Then sink yourself in a winter wonderland by going ice skating at the enormous rink on the Rathausplatz plaza, set in front of the town's dazzling town hall building, suitably decked in a lively show of Xmas lights. The plaza in addition houses the city's most well known Christkindlmarkt, or Christmas market, with more than 140 merchants offering for sale all things, from wooden dolls to candle lights and pickle containers. Be sure to book tickets to rejoice in Christmas Mass at the Hofburgkapelle chapel, featuring the world famous Vienna Boys Choir.
