THE COOKBOOK<br />
STEPHANSPLATZ<br />
Lastly, <strong>the</strong> Christmas market at Stephansplatz is<br />
hard to beat for pure festive atmosphere. Set against<br />
<strong>the</strong> illuminated backdrop of <strong>the</strong> magnificent<br />
Stephansdom Ca<strong>the</strong>dral in <strong>the</strong> pedestrianised heart of<br />
<strong>the</strong> city, this isn’t <strong>the</strong> largest market by any means, but<br />
with its collection of decorated wooden huts, tasteful<br />
lighting, and <strong>the</strong> enticing aromas of sausages and<br />
punch, it’s <strong>the</strong> perfect way to round off a trip around<br />
<strong>the</strong> shopping haunts of Vienna.<br />
These five markets all offer something different,<br />
yet <strong>the</strong>y only scratch <strong>the</strong> surface of Vienna’s festive<br />
attractions. Individual stalls, small groupings, and<br />
fully-fledged markets are dotted throughout <strong>the</strong> city,<br />
and most are within relatively easy walking distance<br />
of each o<strong>the</strong>r or can be reached by a quick trip on <strong>the</strong><br />
clean and reliable subway system.<br />
And if you’re really lucky, your visit will coincide<br />
with a dusting of snow to add <strong>the</strong> finishing touch of<br />
seasonal charm.<br />
