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!

Follow me for Christmas markets all over Europe!

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! Don’t the let the crowds surprise you.

Traded our turkey for gluhwein!

Living in Europe means that Thanksgiving has been transferred into Christmas market kickoff weekend!

We’re spending the next few days in Vienna. Gorgeous palaces, centuries of history, and of course as many Christmas markets as we can find!

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!

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.

London with mom!

We had a blast. We did a a bunch classic first time spots, a bunch I hadn’t seen since 2011! And she graciously let me drag her to all the random spots I always want to explore.

Some highlights:
- Introducing mom to the joys of fish & chips and steak & ale pie
- Hunting down the Christmas decorations as they set up
- Trying Malaysian food - 10/10 would recommend
- Visiting a castle is always a good idea
- Day tripping to Oxford
- A surprise parade and seeing the king!

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!

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.

📍 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.

A pumpkin festival… but in a medieval walled city!!

This is what I love about Italy - a food festival is always a win, but put it inside a historic medieval walled city?? PERFECTION!

We went to Venzone’s Festa della Zucca in 2019, only a few months after moving to Italy, and it’s remained one of our favorite days living here!

The 2023 edition didn’t disappoint - great pumpkin food, plenty of people in medieval costume, and something fun to see or try around every corner!

Things I expected to see at the beach in Sardinia:

🌊Gorgeous water
🍝Great food
🏝️Beaches
🧱Historic ruins

Things I didn’t expect:

Wild boars!

We have wild boars all over Italy, and they’re a popular meat choice in Sardinia. But somehow, I didn’t picture seeing a family of boars living right next to the beach!

Don’t worry, I didn’t go close to them - in these clips I’m either tucked behind a car or inside our rental! Please leave wild animals alone, for everyone’s sakes.
