Christmas Market Vienna

The most fantastic experience is the light as evening sets and the sky becomes a deep blue with the lights set against the sky.The Christmas market in Vienna in Austria is truly amazing. It is one of the oldest in the World. It started at a December market in 1298, although that may not qualify as a real Christmas market among historians.The December market was by the Cathedral, St Stephan Dom. Christmas markets became a tradition in German speaking lands and ushered in the four week church festival of Advent. In nearby Munich, Germany the Christmas market is first mentioned in 1310.
