Vienna
Austria Dresden
Germany
From mid-November to Christmas, Vienna’s prettiest
squares transform into magical Christmas markets. The
aroma of Christmas bakery items and hot punch creates
a pre-Christmas atmosphere. If you like Christmas, you’ll love Dresden. A grand total of
eleven completely different Christmas markets, from the
by no means Dark Ages to the après ski charm of alpine
huts, makes for wonderfully conflicting decisions.
Holiday sounds fill the air throughout the city. From the
many oratorios, Advent, organ and gospel concerts, Dres-
den’s churches brim with festive insider tips.
One of the most well-known Christmas Markets is the
traditional "Vienna Magic of Advent", which turns the City
Hall Square into a shining fairytale land. Christmas gifts,
tree decorations, sweets and warming drinks are await-
ing you as well as a carousel and craft fun Christmas
Workshops for kids. The trees of the surrounding City Hall
park are festively decorated and radiate in a sea of lights
- a Viennese experience, you'll definitely don't want to
miss!
Christmas tales also come to life in the city’s theatres
whilst museums host special exhibitions and boats be-
jewelled with lights glide along the Elbe. If only Christmas
could last more than just a few weeks…
