My two favourite pastimes during christmas season: eating christmas cookies and looking at christmas lights.
In case you were wondering: yes, Vienna is the right place for christmas market lovers.
I love great views. Given the absence of an ocean in Vienna and therefore no actual horizon to watch the sunset, I stick to city views.
Throughout my student and work life I have spent quite a fair amount of time travelling and living abroad. But no matter where I went there was always one thing missing: a real Viennese café.
There are certain places which exude utter calmness and peace. To me, Vienna´s Spittelberg with it´s cobblestone streets and Biedermeier houses is one of those.
So it´s pouring cats and dogs? Nevermind, here´s what you can do.
