CHRISTMAS WORLD

5 of Europe’s Most Authentic Christmas Markets

"One of the most iconic Christmas markets in the world is the Vienna Christmas World on Rathausplatz near Vienna's historic city hall, Rathaus. The tall arched gateway that flanks the entrance welcomes some three million people each year who wander about the 150 market stalls offering traditional Austrian foods, Christmas ornaments, handicrafts and drinks. Listen to choirs and trumpeters on theChristkindlstage directly below the grand Christmas tree and skate around the nearly 10,000-square-foot ice rink while taking in the beautiful light installations based on children's Christmas stories." - Rachel Tan
