- In this week's vlog we are back in Austria where we visit Vienna's Christmas Markets, which are some of the most beautiful Christmas Markets in Europe.
We start our Christmas Market tour at the enchanting Christmas Village Belvedere Palace, immersing ourselves in the festive spirit amidst picturesque stalls and decorations.
We devour some delicious Raclette and Orange punch before we continue to our next market, which is Christmas Market at Stephanplatz. Next, we visit the Christmas Village Maria Theresien Square where we indulge in special donut balls called Sissi-Bällchen which come with candied violets. Finally, we make it to the best Christmas Market in Vienna, which is Christkindlmarkt at Rathausplatz. Here we drink sweet Feuerzangenbowle, and white mulled wine, and eat a Bratapfel and roasted almonds. We admire the sparkling lights and ornaments and watch people skate on the ice-skating rink.
We end our festive day eating a Käsekrainer, one of the yummiest Austrian sausages.
Join us as we experience Vienna's Christmas markets, a magical blend of tradition and mouthwatering delights! 🎄✨

Was kennst du denn davon in Deutschland nicht? Wurst und Bratapfel gibt's bei uns doch auch 😊. Schönen 2. Advent morgen 😘
The color and serenity of each frame is mesmerizing, reminding us of the wonder of the natural world. Thanks for sharing this moment of serenity and majesty. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its artistry. Keep spreading the beauty!💖💖💖💖
So jealous, I can’t wait to come for
The Christmas markets sometime
They're magical! We have two more market videos coming out this month. One more from Austria, and another from Budapest!
Awesome vid guys 😊 love Christmas markets 😍
They're the best thing about this time of year, for sure! We love them as well. Thanks for watching, guys!
I can't wait to see more Christmas markets over the next few weeks
We're heading to Graz tomorrow to film more there. It's going to be a little different this time though! 😈👹
Amazing video ❤
Thanks for watching! We have two more Christmas videos coming this month before our first official year on CZcams is over. 🎄
Fun fact: Christkind as the gift bringer was invented by Martin Luther to de-trone saint Nikolaus from the gift-bringer-role. So it originally was a protestant thing, and later got picked up by catholics as well
Interesting. I (Anja) didn't really know anything about the Christkind until I was in my 20s. When I was little my mom actually ordered a Weihnachtsmann and Christkind to come to our house but I always thought Santa came with an angel 😅. I also didn't know who Krampus was until I was an adult. But in our next video we actually met him and got beaten by him 😂
We are in Vienna now! Loving it ❤ Am Hof was my fav so far.
They're all so magical! We wish we had time to visit them all. We still have Graz to look forward to at least. 😄
Awww the Christmas market looks darling! And the food!! YUM!
Excited to see your future Christmas vids!
Which one?! We went to four! Hahaha. If you mean the main one, it was absolutely stunning! The settings of the markets in Austria are incredible. We just wish the prices were as cheap as Germany.
Hahaha, all of them! But when I was initially writing the comment (I kind of write as I go lol) it was about the village and when you walked to the biggest section with all of the rides! Especially with all of the lights!@@wherearewe-yt
Yeah, Austria does not seem super cheap!!
I do the same. Hahaha. I want to comment on my initial reactions straight away so that I don't forget what I want to say. 🙃
It's funny though...the prices would still be nothing compared to what we would find at a North American Christmas Markets, but compared to the actual prices you pay for the same items outside of the Christmas Markets, it always feels super pricy! 😵
Exactly!! I get too distracted by other things if I don't jot it down right away! lol.
Oh gosh... prices here right now are straight up criminal. Cannot wait to LEAVE!
They've always got to mark it up when its for an event... too hahaha.@@wherearewe-yt
Great video ;)))
But btw, Saint Nicolaus is not Santa Claus; these are two separate traditions ;) Santa Claus in Germany is more related to the figure of Knecht Ruprecht
Thanks a lot! 😊 I (Anja) am German. I think Knecht Ruprecht is Saint Nicholas' assistant or helper. He's beats the kids if they were bad. In the south of Germany and Austria they have Krampus instead of Knecht Ruprecht. The invention of Santa Claus or the "Weihnachtsmann" is indeed based on Saint Nicholas, although Saint Nicholaus, of course, comes on the 6th of December. I suppose Santa is kind of a mix between Saint Nicholas and Knecht Ruprecht. At least in my family nobody even paid attention to Knecht Ruprecht, and I am from Berlin. It's interesting how Christmas traditions vary quite a lot even within Germany. I had never heard about Krampus until I was in my 20s and I never really knew who the Christkind was growing up 😅
@@wherearewe-yt Also just to mention: Santa Claus - or "der Weihnachtsmann" actually does not exist in Austria. Here we have the "Christkind" instead. (Which is a bit of a weird combination between the Jesus child and an Angel, and is always female, mostly imagined as a young blonde girl in a long white dress with a fairy wand with a golden star and sparkles) ;-)
"Most" is a little bit different from cider, because its very, very minor (almost non) alcoholic, and therefore still suitable for children. "Applejuice"->"Most"->"Sturm"->"Wine"
Well, should have watched the video until the end before commenting.....
You need to do hyde Park Xmas wonderland. London 🎩®️©️⚘🏴🇮🇪😘
We would love to! We visited UK Christmas markets in Cardiff and Exeter before and they were really beautiful and the UK has totally different foods and snacks which is nice. The German Christmas market in Edinburgh was very pretty too. Maybe in the future we can make a December tour through the UK and visit a bunch of them 😊
did you walk from Belvedere to St Stephen's?
Since we were filming and didn't have much time, I think we took a tram part way, and then walked the rest! We often like to walk as much as we can, since that's the best way to stumble upon another little markets or interesting spots. Unfortunately, we had less than 48 hours in Vienna this time, and were also there for a concert - so time was a factor! Haha.
it looks really cold and i was thinking when i visit this week i don't want to be walking too much in that weather!@@wherearewe-yt
@@rayrew It was pretty cold when we were there filming! We'd definitely recommend getting transit in between. Luckily there's an U-Bahn stop right near St. Stephen's, so it's super easy to get to!
Chrismas markets are seen as something to rip off chinese travel busses with in vienna - still at the end they are so nice and chistmasy that we stop for 1 Punsch, until we stumble home with emptied pockets and a ridicolously overpriced snow globe (to tame the furious GF a little^^), from our own tourists trap. 🤣🤣
Hahaha. I mean..you're not wrong.
They are pretty freakin' expensive. A lot of things are basically double the price of what you'd normally paid. It's the same here in Budapest. Actually, it's worse. 😬
@@wherearewe-yt Good to know we're not the only aholes!^^
