Very soon a spring will come, but have not yet made a post about winter in Vienna. It is an open secret that Vienna is beautiful at any time of the year, and in that way winter was not the exception at all! Of course I need a lot of words and time to describe the whole winter, all events and adventures on Vienna in details. That is why, I will try to pick the most impressive ones and  share a few thoughts with you.

X-mas Parade at Mariahilferstrasse

Vienna is the best place for calm winter pleasures, especially in December before Christmas holidays. Winter in Vienna attracted me by a surprising comfort and nice charm, nothing was storming or rushing. Winter streets of this city were quiet and calm, so I was just walking around for hours being impressed by its beauty! Аnd of course I need to mention the cozy Christmas markets!

Rathaus Christmas Market 

Vienna can truly show off more than a dozen of Christmas markets all over the city, each of which has its own very special and unique spirit. There you could listen to music, drank warming drinks, bought gifts and souvenirs. Christmas mood was just in the air.

While writing this post, I have realized that I miss it! However, I have to add a few negative thoughts about winter overall. To be honest, as a resident from the north and cold country, I missed snow and unique winter fresh air, and sometimes a lack of bright colours affect my mood. Nevertheless, I’m glad to have this experience! Photos show clearly how winter in Vienna looks like, very unpredictable and magical! Now it is time to explore Vienna in spring!

Best Wishes,
