| Pre-Christmas magic at Maria-Theresien Platz Christmas village |
The pull of the Christmas markets is too great. The child in me could not resist the temptation of returning to Vienna to sample the markets at Maria-Theresien Platz and the Belvedere, and to see them at night.
There is no denying that the atmosphere at night time is more magical than the day time. On a Saturday, friends and families were out in droves, enjoying the food, the glühwein and the punch. Being alone in these markets was a solitary affair, much like a stranger in a big city.
