and Christmas Markets are part of these traditions. Christmas Markets are in

traditions with pageantry.
A huge decorated Christmas tree sits regally in the main square of
each city, glittering lights adorn the streets, and aromas of roasted chestnuts

the year. Germany celebrates the season in the same fashion, and Christmas
Markets provide the perfect gathering place for friends to meet for a mug of
mulled wine or two, then stroll in search for the perfect one-of-a-kind
gifts—wooden toys, knitted woolens, glass-blown Christmas decorations in all

Christmas Market, the largest and most well-known in Germany, and as you walk
around, don’t forget to taste Nuremberg’s famous gingerbread. Stroll through

glass ornaments. And in Linz, “The Town of Christmas Crèches,” you’ll marvel at

butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.
You’ll listen to dramatic sounds of an organ recital at the old convent in
Dürnstein, one of the prettiest towns on the Danube, and the orchestral sounds
of a Mozart and Strauss concert in Vienna. All this and more, in two countries
