Christmas Markets in Austria
During the four weeks of Advent, Christmas street markets (called “Christkindlmarkt” in German, literally “Christ child market”) pop up all over Austria. These traditional markets sell food, drink, and seasonal items and gifts. They attract lots of people and are a popular place to meet up with friends and family to have some hot punch and mulled wine together. Usually, manufacturers set up their stands at the markets to sell their hand- and homemade products, from gingerbread, cheese, and cold cuts to wooden toys and pottery.
