The streets look like Christmas.

We ran across this building as we were wandering around the streets of Vienna. We were too excited to sleep and very tired of sitting still after many hours of trains, planes and streetcars.

St. Peter's. We happened upon this church on our way home from eating dinner and walking around. The pipe organ was playing and everyone was silent. It was so peaceful - like something out of a Christmas movie.

Kohlmarkt was my favorite street. The lights looked like crystals and went on as far as you could see. The street was lined with lots of high-end boutiques - perfect for window shopping.

The front of the Hapsburgs' Palace. We went as far as the front of it before we realized that we were starving and stopped into Cafe Grienstadl. Yum. :)

Sausages with mustard, bread and horseradish. I also had dumplings with onions and cheese. Delicious.

We wandered around Maria Theresa Platz and the Christmas markets in that area.

This was the location of several great museums and a ton of rum punch tents :). We watched curling while we sipped orange punsch (sounds like poooonsch)

This is the city hall for Vienna - the Rathaus. It was magical.

We stumbled upon this Christmas market as we wandered toward our hotel. It was probably the most authentic Christmas market we saw during the entire trip.

Thes is the inside of St. Peter's when we stopped to listen to the organ. Breathtaking.

One last photo of the beautiful lights before we headed inside for some sleep :)
