Weekend trip to Vienna/ Christmas market
Location: Vienna, Austria
Currency: Euro
This short post will primarly touch the historical monuments within the Inner Stadt (downtown) and the traditional Christmas market. The reason for this is simple - we only had a couple days there during which we did not use any sort of public transport hence walking was the only option ☺
How to get there, I took FlixBus from Budapest. It's a roughly 3 hours ride, not that bad. The seat was comfortable, the toilet was working. Surprisingly!
Well, I don't have muh to say, it was rather a visit to the Christmas market. We ate the market, so nothing fancy, really. A couple of cups of mulled wine and punch served well enough to warm ourlseves up in the cold winter evening. As of 2017, a cup of mulled wine/ hot chocolate was around 4€ .
The downtown - or let's say innerstadt - is still very monumental, I felt like if we went back in history. The streets were spotless clean. Walking on the streets between these historical buildings, I had the feeling that I couldn't even imagine them on a warm sunny day, they had such a "cold aura" or how to say.
So, let the pictures speak! All of them were taken by me, either with my camera or with my smartphone.
More will be uploaded to my Facebook page.
