It seems everywhere you go in Vienna at this time of year there is a Christmas Market selling seasonal and gift products. It is indeed a wonderful time of year.

I love the colours of a Christmas market, especially at night when the lights add to the brilliance of the displays. I must admit though that there were a few times I wished the booths weren’t there so I could get better pictures of the nearby buildings. The markets seem always to be adjacent to one historic building or another.

I didn’t pay too much attention to where we were as we wandered through the city. I can remember at least five distinct markets, and I am sure we only scratched the surface. For the next couple of days, to help you get into the Christmas mood, I plan to share some of my pictures with you.
