Austria travel diaries: Postcard from Vienna
09:23
Welcome to Vienna the capital of Austria.
I`ve already been to Vienna four times and I really like the beautiful city, so this time I didn`t visit the most famous tourist destinations, but my favorite places and Christmas markets.Wintertime in Vienna is a special experience. A stroll through the city
is great way to browse for gifts. Particularly inviting are the
Christmas markets, where there are all sorts of things waiting to be
discovered – from culinary specialties to handicrafts.
From the middle of November, Vienna's prettiest squares transform into magical Christmas markets.
People with a sense of tradition get their money's worth at the
Viennese Christmas Market on Rathausplatz, at the Old Viennese Christmas
Market on Freyung, or at the Christmas Market on Stephansplatz. Lovers
of handicrafts should pay a visit to the Christmas markets on Karlsplatz
or Spittelberg. The Christmas markets in front of Schönbrunn Palace and
Belvedere Palace offer a uniquely imperial flair. The Winter Market on
Riesenradplatz offers action.
In addition to the aroma of punch, cookies, and toasted almonds, music
also wafts through the air at Christmas time. The Christmas atmosphere
in Vienna is replete with classic Advent concerts, festive church
concerts, captivating Gospel evenings, and shows.
The capital of Austria is rich in history, culture & pristine beauty.
One of the highlights of Austria, Vienna has majestic monuments and palaces, elegant avenues, splendid museums and much more.Full of greenspace and historic and modern architecture, Vienna perfectly blends its rich history with equal focus on moving the city forward in innovation.You might also know that Vienna has consistently been voted as having the highest quality of living in the world… Or that famous composers including Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Joseph Haydn, Ludwig van Beethoven, Gustav Mahler, Robert Stolz, and Johann Strauss II have worked in Vienna.There’s so many world-class tourist attractions in Vienna, including the world’s oldest zoo, oldest ferris wheel, and a museum dedicated to Sigmund Freud.
Did you know Vienna has some of the cleanest drinking water in the world? Viennese water is piped in from mountain springs in the nearby Alps.
Vienna is beautiful and so charming city.
With love,
Ivana
