A Very Belvedere Christmas! - a photo on Flickriver

Best seen on Black. Press "L".

It isn't often that you come across a Christmas Market with a backdrop as magnificent as the Belvedere Palace!

The Christmas village at the Schloss Belvedere has a regal touch indeed, with lots traditional Christmas treats and musicians playing from the palace patio.

November is a beautiful time in Vienna! One of Europe's most pretty and elegant cities dresses up for Christmas. Christmas Markets in Vienna are simply beautiful! The city has almost a dozen Weihnachtsmarkts featuring traditional Christmas beverages, snacks, handicrafts, art and lots of music and festivities.

Stroll over to a Christmas market, sip a cup of hot Orangenpunsch, enjoy some chestnuts, listen to a live band, and inhale the festive atmosphere! As winter evenings get colder, Glühwein and Schnapps will keep you warm!

These pictures are collected from my various visits to Vienna for the DeepSec Computer Security Conference.
