| gluhwein, and the peace and quite of the city on Christmas Eve as everything closes down early! If you ever get the chance to experience it you should, at least once. On New Years Eve (Silvester) there is a huge "party" throughout the 1st District from the Rathaus to the Stephansdom with live bands, gluhwein, and places to buy your good luck charms for the next year. At midnight the entire city erupts in fireworks. 360 degrees around you for more the 30 minutes, the sound and the lights are like nowhere else in the world. From every corner of the city people are launching colorful rockets and fireworks. If your lucky enough to have a roof top view you simply can not believe your eyes! Here are a few photos from our Viennese Christmas season! |
