Austria, the land of the Philharmonic Orchestra and Christmas Markets, enables you to shop till you drop especially in its capital city, Vienna. The shopping locations and marts provide you with all that you need to satisfy the whims of that buying bug this winter! Try out Christmas Carnivals Christmas Shopping in Austria.
The quintessential Austrian mart is the Christkindlmarkt or Christmas Market lasting a whole month from November to December at every available nook and cranny. Small huts and shifting tents are erected that sell food, Christmas gifts and the very Austrian hot punch, heated sweet wine, the Gluhwein. The biggest Christkindlmarkts are situated at the Vienna City Hall at Spittelburg and University Campus.
The historic quarter of Spittelburg sells both traditional and original handicrafts on narrow alleys paved with granite. Armed with the niches and courtyards, this is Vienna's most authentic Christmas Market.
The imperial residence of Schonbrunn Palace provides a grand backdrop for up-market jewelry, clothing, cakes, smoked meat and rural art-ware. If you're put off by the flurry snow, try visiting the regal interiors. Shoppers can also observe efficient manufacturers create fanciful cookies from specially made dough and then reproduce their own designs.
This romantic state of Eastern Europe basking in the very first snowflakes of the season warmly invites you to the soft glow of the lanterns of its Christmas Markets, roasted chestnuts, mulled wine, gingerbread and Christmas baking. Go on a pleasant shopping spree at Christmas Carnivals Christmas Shopping in Austria.
