Vienna is a special place at the time of Advent as it dresses up in Christmas pomp and you become completely tuned to the approaching Christmas holidays by the fairy-tale atmosphere, the scent of Advent and the walks you take in the city. The largest Christmas crowds can be found outside the Vienna Town Hall; the Advent fair held on Rathausplatz attracts the most tourists, where you are welcomed by nearly 80 exhibitors and 15 food stands. It’s well worth the excursion!
