Christmas Markets

The Advent season in Vienna is highlighted the the appearance of the Christkindl Markets. They spring up, in a very organized fashion (typically Austrian...) , in many of the sqares throughout the city. They can be huge or quaint, full of kitschty crap, or with unique handmade items. There is always food and drink: punsch, Glühwein, huge pretzels, baked goods, and meat.... Gotta love it.... Here are some pics of ones we have visited.

 Guttenbergplatz, in Spittelberg. Our favorite.
 Am Hof, in the 1st district.
 The Graben. Great lights.
 Peterskirche.
 Another shot of the Graben lights.
 The Rathaus Christkindl Market. It's the big Kahuna...
 A quiet sidestreet in Spittelberg. We took a stroll through here after our Thanksgiving dinner...


The Karlskirche market.
