Christmas Markets in Austria

By Katharina Bordet and Mick Bordet

Austria is a country that embraces the celebration of Christmas, nowhere more so than in the sheer number and variety of Christmas markets to be found in its capital Vienna and all over the country. In this book you can find Christmas markets beyond Austria's capital of Vienna, to which we've dedicated a separate book.

Whether you want to enjoy a mulled wine in front of spectacular castles or find a hand-crafted Christmas decoration in cobbled streets, taste traditional Austrian gingerbread or cuddle an alpaca, the information you need is right here. This guide takes a tour of these traditional markets, full of crafts, gifts and the flavours of Christmas.

Mick and Katharina provide reviews markets in Austria, around Vienna and beyond, illustrated with photographs and including opening hours, locations and links to some of the things you'll see at each one.

Essential reading for anyone visiting Austria in the winter.

Every Christmas, starting from November onwards, Vienna's historic streets fill with Christmas markets. Whenever this time comes around, I try to visit as many of them as I can and take plenty of photos. In December of 2012 though, I thought I'd make a series of blogposts out of them and talk about my experiences. I took many photos and wrote reviews of the different markets in and around Vienna (and wherever else I might come across one).

At the end of all the blogposts, there was still more to say and more photos to show. On top of that, my husband Mick – whom I dragged along to all the markets – had something to say about them as well. That’s how the idea for this book was born. Part guide, part photo book, all combined in a mobile eBook version, so you can take it along as your own personal guide when visiting Vienna at Christmas time. With new markets popping up
