Vienna is home to some of the world's largest Christmas Markets. Although I am not big on Christmas (my friends like to compare me to the Grinch), I went along for the ride. I always love an excuse to go to a new place anyways. We had a great day walking around Vienna and enjoying the Christmas Markets, but it was cold. I couldn't feel my toes for most of the day. Almost lost them.
We were only there for the day, so we didn't get to see much. In general we shopped around the Markets and enjoyed some delicious food (Goulash in a bread bowl--delicious). I wish I could have seen more of Vienna, but my cash is dwindling and I did not want to pay to stay for a weekend. Don't worry Vienna, I'll add you to my travel list because I really did not get to see much of the city. But what I did see was beautiful, and the city reminded me of Budapest. Which makes sense as to those who know about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. But if you don't I won't bore you with a history lesson.
Here are some pics I took from the day. Not many but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
St. Stephen's Cathedral. Unfortunately they were doing construction on the building and I could not get a full picture, but it was a beautiful building to see.
Me and my boot cup! They were selling cider and wine all over the place because like I said, it was cold. I got some cider and they let me keep the cup (well, I paid to keep the cup). It's shaped like a boot!!! As you can see, I thoroughly enjoy my boot cup.
Here are a few pics from the Christmas Markets!
Yum chocolate. And yes, they were as delicious as they look.
And there you have it, friends! It was a great day at the Christmas Markets and I'm glad I can add Vienna to my list of places traveled, but like I said before I would like to go back one day and see more of the city and more of Austria. All in all it was a good last trip!
xoxo, Taylor.
