Vienna takes Christmas seriously. From mid-November to Christmas, Vienna’s prettiest squares transform into magical Christmas markets. The city dressed up spectacularly for the holiday Season and several Christmas markets are waiting everyone who like Punch, Kaiserschmarrn, Christmas decorations and handicraft.

Christmas photo shootings are also popular, and it’s the busiest time for me during the year.
