Vienna has the most dazzlingly beautiful Christmas Market.
The market is up and running before Advent, a month before Christmas.
The visual beauty is almost as remarkable as the people.
Everyday and every night for a month, people are at the market, eating, visiting, browsing, communing.
Children and families, young and old, everyone goes. Rain or shine.
Everyone absorbing the glorious spirit of the season.
Of course it is Vienna, so there is a violin tree!
I came home with a surge of Christmas spirit and decorated the biggest tree ever!
Cheers to you and may the Spirit of the Season fly into your heart, as it did to mine~

so beautiful I love Christmas markets especially in Europe
You and me both! I am so glad I got to see them. Merry Christmas to you and yours~
Would love to visit Christmas markets in Europe one year and in the meantime thanks for taking me there. Great nighttime shore and love the violin tree!
Please do visit during the Christmas season and post about it! I already want to reminisce!
Glorious!
It was truly memorable, so glad I got to see the Christmas Markets!
They were amazing! Put my simple cookies to shame. 🙂
Simple homemade cookies are simply the BEST! Happy Holidays Brenda to you and your family~
Might have to have a cookie break soon. And a cuppa. Sigh for the good life.
Now I have a new travel spot on my bucket list! This looks enchanting Cindy! When we lived in Spain there were Christmas markets on the plazas– lots of treats and stall after stall of nativity pieces. Loved it– but this looks even more amazing. Fun post!! thanks. and Merry Christmas!
It is pretty hard to top Vienna! We are going back to spend more time in Spain in the spring. So looking forward to it. It must have been fascinating to live there.
I enjoyed your post. Here in Chicago we have a Christkindlmarkt too, which opens when Advent starts. It’s in the heart of downtown. It’s not as beautiful as Vienna’s, though!
Such a beautiful market! I missed Vienna so much.
I love the violin tree. Having the market for a month before Christmas with all that lovely food, lights and cheer must be beautiful in real life Cindy.
It is also wonderful to see how the community comes together in shared communion and celebration.
I love when people are able to come together to do something good and beautiful 🙂
I do too! We need more of this in the world~
we sure do 🙂
Vienna is my favorite place (so many close seconds), but the music of the city swept me away ~ and nice to see you enjoying it so well. Cheers Cindy, and continued safe travels into 2016.
Vienna is always magic isn’t it, especially at Christmas. Safe travels to you my friend~
Beautiful and so festive.
It made for a very special holiday. Cheers to you Vashti~ <3
I still can’t get into the posts on my Reader. Is yours better?
I get some posts but miss many. Quite frustrating especially for you not getting any. Have you contacted WP?
Very inspiring!
May Christmas joy be in your heart all year long Wendell~
Christmas festivities keep my heart smiling! 🙂
No reason not to keep it in your heart all year round my friend~ <3
True that!

You and me both! I am so glad I got to see them. Merry Christmas to you and yours~
I love these Christmas Markets, and Vienna’s is the creme de la creme დ
The Vienna’s Christmas Market is one of the biggest draws in Vienna and also Austria. It attracts tourists from all over Europe each year as Viennas is a very welcoming old world town that is full of interesting historic buildings, magnificent parks, beautiful architecture and fantastic night life. Each year Viennas opens its Christmas market day by carrying out the huge fireworks display which can be seen all across the city and into the surrounding area. As, well as this there are plenty of exciting things to do in Viennas throughout Christmas Day including traditional street markets, traditional dancing, puppet theatre performances, and lots of family fun including horse riding in the evening.
