When we were visiting Austria, our friend had set up a bunch of different locations for us to visit, that have significance in the area. St. Stephen’s Cathedral was one of the first on the list. This is a large Roman Catholic church that is nearly in the centre of Vienna, with beautiful views from the outside.

Dann and I went on a trip to Vienna Austria, to check out the Christmas markets there. It has been one of Dann’s bucket list items to go to the proper Christmas markets. We actually always go to quite a few in England, but they are based around proper, traditional Christmas markets. So, when a friend of ours offered to show us around Austria and plan an entire trip for us, we obviously were going to say yes! We ended up going to several Christmas markets each and every day – all of these are just a few hours from London by plane, so it’s well worth thinking about it for your end of December or even next year. I attempted to eat kartoffelpuffer at each of the places as well. This is a potato pancake, similar to latkes, with garlic all over it. All of these different Christmas markets had their own mugs as well, which you can sort of keep if you don’t mind paying the deposit too!
