Christmas markets in Vienna! I’ve been to Budapest and Germany but Austria certainly has something special in the form of Vienna. I went especially for the Christmas market and I suggest, GO!

Luis was a wonderful tour guide! He speaks perfect english and he is so warm and kind. He went at our pace, and he was very conscious of what we wanted to see/do. He took us to the Christmas markets, and bought us lovely beverages, and then took us to the Opera House, a small museum, the Hofburg Palace, among other places. It was a perfect amount of time, history and sites. I would highly recommend!
Great selection at all the markets. Great Christmas trinkets and lots of food and drink. Gluwein ceramic mugs make a nice memento
Yay! So happy you enjoyed the tour :)
