Thinking about going to the Vienna Christmas marke Thinking about going to the Vienna Christmas markets? Here are a few of the logistical questions you need to know to plan the best trip: Give yourself two days (at least) to see them. I don’t get the appeal of rushing through them in one day, but really, what’s the point? The ice rink is the best I’ve seen at a Christmas market ever! Definitely worth renting a pair of skates! The major markets get NUTS on the weekends, so be prepared for crowds. But I’ve listed a few that are quieter and more local, even on a Saturday night! All my best tips are live on my Vienna Christmas Market Guide on @thatch.travel! . . . . . . . #christmasineurope #christmasmarkets #europeanchristmasmarkets #bestchristmasmarket #marchedenoel #xmasmarket #xmasmarkets #viennachristmasmarket #viennachristmas #visitvienna #viennatouristboard #almadvent @almadvent #teaspoonofAustria #austriagram #austria_pictures #austriavacations @almadvent @viennatouristboard #viennatouristboard #viennatravel #viennachristmasmarket
When you visit one of the most awarded Christmas m When you visit one of the most awarded Christmas markets on opening night… and it snows! Zagreb markets are fantastic! With great decor and plenty of delicious food, it’s an easy market to love. Opening night included ceremonial lighting of the Advent decorations, an ice skating performance, and plenty of fresh snow! Zagreb’s markets kicked off today and run through January 7th! . . . . . . #christmasineurope #christmasmarkets #europeanchristmasmarkets #bestchristmasmarket #marchedenoel #xmasmarket #xmasmarkets #xmasmarket #croatia_ig #croatiatravel #croatiatrip #teaspoonofCroatia #croatiatravel #zagreb #croatiafulloflife #lovezagreb #fromcroatiawithlove #fromzagrebwithlove #visitzagreb #adventzagreb
German and Austrian Christmas markets may get most German and Austrian Christmas markets may get most of the attention, but Italy has some great ones! One of my favorites is Bolzano. Tucked in the heart of the Trentino Dolomites, it has the best of Italy and Austria combined! Picture it: stalls full of Austrian goodies, local desserts, plus Italian meats and cheeses! And there’s plenty of local wine when you need a break from the gluhwein. I’ve put together all the details on the blog this week - you can check it out through my profile! Have you been to an Italian Christmas market? . . . . . . . #bolzano #bolzanochristmasmarket #italianchristmasmarkets #europechristmasmarket #christmasmarket #christmas #europe #europechristmas #christmasmarkets #visitbolzano #travelphotography #christmasdecorations #christmaslights #ChristmasMarket #EuropeChristmasMarket #traveleurope #joytotheworld #bestchristmasmarket #christmastree #marchedenoel #montreux #xmasmarket #xmasmarketeurope #italianchristmas #bolzanobozen #bolzanocity #italianchristmasmarket #xmasmarket #xmasmarkets #mercatinidinatale #visitbolzano #visittrentino
What you REALLY need to know about the Vienna Chri What you REALLY need to know about the Vienna Christmas markets: Vienna does great decorations and lights as well as their markets. That means wandering the city at night is so festive, even if you’re not only inside the markets. I will say that Vienna markets get crowded on the weekends, so know that you’ll be wandering with a few thousand of your closest friends. Be patient. My favorite savory food at the Vienna Christmas markets? Käsekrainer! It’s a sausage made with bits of cheese inside! At the markets it’s served in a hollowed out roll, and the molten cheese inside the grilled sausage was so good we ate it multiple meals! Favorite sweet is almost always a chimney cake: these central European desserts are SO irresistible! They’re typically dusted with cinnamon, but you can get it with chocolate, fruit, Nutella, and more!

Finishing up an unforgettable long weekend at the Finishing up an unforgettable long weekend at the Vienna Christmas markets! If you’re headed there soon, here are the best markets to prioritize: - Most magical: Rathaus and Schloss Schönbrunn - Least crowded: University of Vienna - Most local feel: Spittelberg and Freyngplatz - Best food: Am Hof - Best lights: Kohlmarkt Viennese Christmas markets were great! Plenty of great food and original crafts. Plus, possibly the biggest variety of Christmas mugs I’ve seen in one city! One thing to remember: the markets are CRAZY on Saturday nights!

Dreaming of a European Christmas Market, but don’t know how to start planning? I’ve got you covered! This week I published two of my Christmas market guides on @thatch.travel - Cologne, Germany and Strasbourg, France. These are two of my favorite Christmas markets and a great place to start if you’re looking for that magic European Christmas market experience! I’ve done all the research so you don’t have to: where the markets are, what each group specializes in, local favorites foods to try, and more! Plus, I include the nearby small town markets that are easy day trips to get to from a more central city with great Christmas markets! Bonus: they’re 10% off this week! So grab them today and start packing! . . . . . . #christmasineurope #christmasmarkets #europeanchristmasmarkets #bestchristmasmarket #marchedenoel #xmasmarket #xmasmarkets #italianchristmasmarkets #italianchristmasmarket #xmasmarket #xmasmarkets #mercatinidinatale #italianchristmasmarkets #germanChristmasmarkets #czechchristmasmarkets #austrianchristmasmarkets #thatchtravel #tripplanner #travelplanner #planmytrip

Lights, camera, gluhwein! Our small town’s mar Lights, camera, gluhwein! Our small town’s markets has a soft opening this week - the bar & restaurant booths opened up! The rest of the town decorations and booths (called casette, or little houses, in Italian) go up this week for a bigger kickoff next weekend. Highly recommend Christmas markets in Italy - the food is INSANE! And we still have gluhwein too, although it’s called vin brulee in my area. . . . . . . #sacile #visitsacile #igerspn #volgopordenone #igerspordenone#lifeinItaly #aviano #avianoairbase #italianlife #italianlifestyle @prosacile @sacileFVG @prosacile @comunedisacile @visitsacile #friuliveneziagiulia #instafriuli #instafriuliveneziagiulia #volgofriuliveneziagiulia #yallersfriuliveneziagiulia #igpic_friuliveneziagiulia #FVGlive #FVGphoto #friuli #volgofriuli #friuli_in_grande #igersFVG #turismoFVG #regioneFVG #loveFVG@igersFVG @FVGlive @regionefvg @volgo_friuliveneziagiulia

Krakow was a dream! From wandering the historic st Krakow was a dream! From wandering the historic streets to eating my weight in pierogi, it makes for a fantastic getaway. A few of my favorites: - A walking tour is a must! There’s so much history to Krakow that most us have never heard. I did one with @guruwalk and Chris was a fantastic guide, full of fascinating history and funny stories. - St. Mary’s Basilica was gorgeous. And this comes from someone who lives in Italy and sees stunning cathedrals all the time! - Eat as many pierogi as possible. I had great ones at @goscinnachata and @kuchnia_u_babci_maliny. - Take a day trip to Auschwitz. It’s less than two hours from Krakow and such an important site to visit. If you can, go during fall. The whole city is full of trees showing off their colors, and it’s some of the best foliage I’ve seen in Europe! . . . . . . . . #teaspoonofpoland #krakowpoland #explorekrakow #visitkrakow #polandtravel #polandfood #polishfood
I don’t think I can put into words the significa I don’t think I can put into words the significance of seeing Auschwitz. To see, firsthand, this place. To walk the paths of the camps where 1.1 million people died. As we walked in the cold rain that went on for hours, I couldn’t help but think about the people who had no coats and barely shoes. To work, 14 hours a day. To live on 700 calories a day. Please if you head to Poland, visit Auschwitz. It’s so necessary to remember. . . . . . . . . #teaspoonofpoland #polandtravel #auschwitzbirkenau #auschwitzmemorial
Bonus: it was one of the original 12 world heritag Bonus: it was one of the original 12 world heritage sites! 📍 Wieliczka Salt Mine I know it sounds like a weird spot to add to your trip, but I really liked it! People have been harvesting salt from this area for over 6,000 years! The tour of the mine takes you underground through hundreds of years of mining tunnels, showing you exactly how salt was harvested and the legends surrounding it. Our tour guide was great, full of jokes and just the right amount of sass - she’ll let you lick the walls, if you dare! My favorite part? The chandeliers baubles in the video aren’t made of glass; they’re salt! The Wieliczka Salt Mine is an easy day trip from Krakow, and there’s some easy options through @getyourguide. . . . . . . . . #teaspoonofpoland #krakowpoland #explorekrakow #visitkrakow #polandtravel #polandfood #polishfood @wieliczkasaltmine
