splashThe UAE’s water parks are a welcome (and necessary)

respite from the blisteringly hot summer months, but

for me, they are best enjoyed when I don’t have to hop

from one piece of shade to the next and when they

are perhaps not at their absolute bursting point with

queues a mile long!

We have more than our fair share of aquatic attractions

in the emirates so how do you choose one over the

other? Price, attractions, location, convenience, family

friendly, uniqueness ... the list goes on, so we decided

to give three of them a test ride ...

Wild WAdi - dUbAi

A stalwart of Dubai, Wild Wadi opened its gates in

1999, and continues to be a major attraction for

residents and tourists to the UAE.

Designed around a tale from Arabian folklore featuring

Juha and his seafaring friend, Sinbad, characters

marooned on an enchanted island, ride gushing

freshwater streams and waterfalls. And so can you!

The huge upside to this park is its convenience.

Sandwiched between the Burj al Arab and Jumeirah

Beach Hotel, you can hardly want for a quicker escape

to some watery fun. They also have safety down to a

fine art, with over 150 lifeguards on duty at any one

time you can rest assured someone’s taking care of

you and your family. Another plus has to be being able

to plop straight into a ring at the bottom of a ride, be

propelled skywards (by one of eight gravity-defying

Master Blasters) and then be on your way down any

number of slide options when you get to the top. That’s

one adrenaline rush after another with 13 (of its 30)

pulsating attractions inter-connected, so you can enjoy

them without ever leaving the water.

Earlier this year, regulars mourned the loss of the

heart-stopping ‘Jumeirah Sceirah’, to make way for

the new ride of the same name - but of a totally new

concept. Standing 32m high (makes my knees weak at

the thought!), victims, (though Wild Wadi prefer to say

‘guests’) stand in a capsule with a trap door unable to

see what the slide holds below. The trap door is then

suddenly released, and riders descend the 120m slide (a

70° angle drop) at an astonishing speed of over 80 km/h.

It really is wet-your-pants stuff!

Along with the standard but relaxing ‘Lazy River’ and

the ‘Tunnel of Doom’, a scary pitch-black slide, are two

relatively new rides called ‘Burj Surj’ and ‘Tantrum Alley’

incorporating slides, tornadoes and looming ‘bowls’.

Both are great fun but ‘Burj Surj’ terrifyingly so as its

massive ‘bowl’ opens out threatening to tip the raft

and it’s contents i.e. YOU, onto Jumeirah Road and

the unsuspecting cars below.

For surfers there are ‘Wipe-out’ and ‘Riptide’ Flow

Spoilt for choice here’s the low

down on all that’s splashingly new

at the UAE’s foremost waterparks -

grab your togs and prepare yourself

do some screaming!

AT A GLANCE yAS WATERWoRLD

AT A GLANCE WADI ADvENTURE

Riders offering realistic wave effects for body or knee boarding

as well as surfing. ‘Breaker’s Bay’, the region’s largest wave pool,

and Juha’s Dhow and Lagoon with interactive play structure make

it ideal for all ages. Wild Wadi still remains an accessible great

value-for-money park for some instant fun - without the drive!

YAS WATERWORld AbU dhAbi

The eagerly anticipated Yas Waterworld covering 15 hectares of

land, promises many things - the biggest, the fastest, the first - but

is it the funnest? At the time of going to press the waterpark was

yet to open its gates, however is all set to do so by the end of 2012.

Located at the centre of Yas Island’s entertainment complex,

the park boasts an amazing 43 rides, slides, and world-record

breaking attractions. Paying tribute to the UAE’s pearl-diving

heritage, it is themed around ‘The Lost Pearl’, (hence the rather

strange looking white globe visible from miles away). Dana,

a young Emirati girl is on a quest for the legendary pearl that

had once brought prosperity to her village. Visitors can join her

adventure to find the pearl on rides never seen before, including

‘Dawwama’ the first hydromagnetic 6-person water slide in the

world, and ‘Bubble’s Barrel’, the largest FlowBarrel 10 Double in

the world. (A surf wave for those of us not in the know.)

High-octane thrill-seekers will love Falcon’s Falaj - a 62° angle

drop slide from almost 21m, or the equally high ‘Liwa Loop’, the

only looping waterslide in the Middle East, featuring a launch

capsule with a trap door giving way to sheer excitement and

enough speed to have you loop back up and shoot out into a

catchpool! Be warned, screaming will NOT save you!

The PearlMaster, is the world’s only SplashQuest interactive

game inside a waterpark - consisting of an exciting adventure it

allows youngsters to embark on a magical journey through the

park going on a quest in search of lost treasures, interacting

with magical sea creatures, firing water cannons, solving ancient

puzzles, and more.

‘Sebag’ will satisfy the more competitive among us by giving six

people at any one time, the chance to race headlong against

each other, first in a closed tunnel then exiting into the open and

the final straight race to the finish line - all against the clock!

Finally, the ‘Bandit Bomber’ is destined to become a firm favourite

(for me anyway!) - equipped with 4-passenger coaches, riders

can spray and drop water on those below in the designated drop

zones as the roller coaster zooms by.

Yas Waterworld Abu Dhabi say they guarantee everyone an

unforgettable day, whether enjoying individual adventures or

sharing memorable experiences in the family-sized attractions. I

think we might have to agree!

WAdi AdVENTURE - Al AiN

Wow. I mean, really - in Al Ain? Beige, unassuming historic little

Al Ain? Whitewater rafting, kayaking and surfing? Known for

its extensive natural cave system and hot water springs, Jebel

Hafeet has long been a tourist attraction for the region but you

now have another reason to visit this part of the UAE.

About an hour and a half from either Abu Dhabi or Dubai, Wadi

Adventure brings unique adventure to the emirates in the form of

130,000m2 of: Three world class whitewater rafting and kayaking

runs with a combined length of 1,133m. A surf pool capable

of making 3.3m high waves every 90 seconds. A rope course,

climbing wall and zip line. An adult and toddler swimming pool,

and what has to be the most unique corporate and event space

to be found in the Middle East.

Gushing away at the base of Jebel Hafeet lies a haven for

outdoor enthusiasts with a taste for adventure where you can

get the ultimate rush as you jump into a raft and try to tame

the longest man-made whitewater channels in the world. Fun for

everyone, rafting can be enjoyed by the entire family and requires

no previous experience or skill, with all raft trips subject to

compulsory (short) briefing and essential safety information. After

that it’s on with the life jacket and helmet and into a bright yellow

raft with your Nepalese guide at the helm. Although suitable for

everyone perhaps we should say everyone ‘those confident in

water’, because there is no doubt whatsoever that you will end

up in the drink at some point!

So, surfing in the desert? Sounds surreal, but here you get

the perfect wave (up to 3.3m) every 90 seconds, which makes

learning with pro instructors or practising, very efficient. (Booking

is essential).

If kayaking is your thing you can learn how to paddle, spin,

turn and roll with an instructor, or experienced kayakers can

explore three levels of water (Green, Blue or Black) for a different

challenge and thrill factor.

If you are looking for a unique venue for your next team building

event it might well be the perfect choice. The Wadi Adventure

team can even design and run the day for you if required. Treat

your staff or challenge them with some strategy and physical

tasks in an environment that seems to be tailor made for the job.

Finally, for the landlubbers, you can still test your daring on the

AirPark adventure course with climbing wall, high ropes, zip line

and a 14m falling swing! Face your fears on the aerial walkways

or fly across the channels and lakes by zip line, whatever you

choose it’s bound to be an adventure!

CORNEd bEEF hASh WiTh pOAChEd EggPotatoes are a very popular food source but unfortunately,

many people eat them in the form of oily french fries or potato

chips and even baked potatoes which are usually mixed with

fats such as cheese, butter, bacon bits and sour cream that

make potatoes a potential contributor to heart attack.

But avoid the deep fried version and they become a very

healthy low-calorie and high fibre food that offers significant

protection against several disease and keep body healthy.

Prepare this super easy brunch dish to enjoy potato at its

best - guaranteed to become a family favourite.

Ingredients [4 potatoes, diced into cubes, 3 tbsp olive oil,

1 onion, finely diced, 1 garlic clove, crushed, 340g/12oz

corned beef, tinned, Salt and freshly ground black pepper,

to taste, 1 tbsp vinegar, 1-2 free-range eggs (per person),

tomato ketchup, to serve]

Place the potatoes into a saucepan and cover with water.

Bring to the boil and simmer until just tender. Drain and set

aside. Heat a frying pan until hot. Add one tablespoon of the

olive oil, the onion and garlic and fry for two to three minutes.

Add the potatoes and fry for a further minute.

Crumble in the corned beef and mix together.

Spoon the mixture into a soup dish then place under the grill

for three to four minutes, until crusty.

Bring a pan of water to the boil, add the vinegar and whirl the

water around. Crack an egg into a ladle. Pour the egg into

the pan and simmer for two minutes, until ready. Remove

from the pan and drain.

Remove the hash from the grill and top with the egg.

Top with a squeeze of ketchup and serve with hot, buttered

corn bread if desired.

lEEk & pOTATO SOUpLeeks might make it into your meals in small proportions

but try using them as a main ingredient to benefit from

some significant nutrients. For example, a flavonoid called

kaempferol provides protection to the linings of the blood

vessels, particularly against free radicals or reactive oxygen

species. They also provide a bioactive form of folate called

5-methyltetrahydrofolate. Aside from being an important

vitamin during pregnancy, folate has been shown to lessen

the concentration of homocysteine in the blood. Note that

excessive levels of homocysteine promote inflammatory

conditions and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Leek also functions as an antioxidant (polyphenol), which

helps fight against free radicals that can cause many chronic

diseases and aging. Just a 100g portion of fresh leeks

contains about 33 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE).

By incorporating leeks into your diet, you can be sure that

you are receiving good amounts of essential nutrients.

Try making this smooth, creamy vegetable soup that’s full of

flavour - simple, quick and easy.

Ingredients [1 tbsp vegetable oil, 1 onion - sliced, 225g/8oz

potatoes - cubed, 2 medium leeks,sliced, 1.2 litres/2 pints

vegetable stock, 150ml/5fl oz double cream or crème fraîche,

salt and freshly ground black pepper]

Heat the oil in a large pan and add the onions, potatoes and

leeks. Cook for 3-4 minutes until starting to soften.

Add the vegetable stock and bring to the boil. Season well

and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Whizz with a hand blender or in a blender until smooth.

Reheat in a clean pan, stir in the cream or crème fraîche,

heat through and serve. So easy!

Spend a little time and effort

making someone special some

gorgeous festive chocolates

It’s easy to go and buy chocolates, but why not show someone

how much you care by making some mouthwatering treats

yourself. Once they are made you can decorate or wrap them

with as much creativity as you like! Start with the following

and let your creativity do the rest ...

Ingredients [75g dark chocolate - 75% cocoa solids, 50g

luxury Belgian milk chocolate, 75g luxury Belgian white

chocolate, 100g pack whole blanched hazelnuts, 200g

mi-cuit plums, 50g shredded coconut (as long-thread as

possible - Pre-heat the oven to 180°C]

Begin by toasting the hazelnuts on a baking sheet on the

top shelf of the oven for 10 mins, then remove them from

the oven and allow them to cool. Now break up the three

chocolates into small pieces and melt them separately in

heatproof bowls over barely simmering water, making sure

the bowls don’t touch the water. Then remove them from the

heat and allow the chocolate to cool.

Now, using a small, sharp knife, carefully remove the stones

from 10 of the mi-cuit plums, leaving them whole. Now, holding

each one in a horizontal position, half-dip them lengthways in

the milk chocolate and space them out on the lined tray. Next

stir the toasted hazelnuts into the plain chocolate and pile

them, in approximately heaped teaspoonfuls, into 10 paper

cases.

Finally, stir the coconut into the white chocolate, divide the

mixture into 10, and use 2 forks to roughly shape each one

into a ball, then pop into the paper cases. Now leave all the

chocolates in a cool place to set for an hour (or in the fridge

if you are in a hurry, in which case they will need at least

30 minutes). When they have set, transfer the mi-cuit plums

to the paper cases. They will keep in a polythene container

in the fridge for up to a week. (You will also need 2 x 12-

hole mini-muffin tins, each lined with 10 mini-muffin or sweet

paper cases, and a tray lined with baking paper), plus 10

mini-muffin or sweet paper cases for the mi-cuit plums.)

Chocolate has been around since ancient times when the Mayans and the Aztecs discovered the cacao tree (Theobroma meaning ‘food of the gods’) and its seeds. Thus chocolate and its raw ingredients were highly regarded during ancient times. As a result, cacao seeds were even used as money for trading goods by the Aztecs and the Spaniards which continued on when Spain dominated the chocolate industry for a hundred years. Even though the drink originally created from the cacao seeds was bitter, it was only accessible to aristocrats and other royalty. Therefore, it became treasured and prized and eventually became special treats at special occasions and holidays such as Christmas. When industrialisation took care of grinding and pressing the cacao seeds, chocolate became more available to the public in

the form of chocolate bars and chocolate drinks mixed with milk which eventually led to the popularity of chocolates to be eaten plain or used for different recipes on many special occasions. This was especially true in the 19th century when chocolates were developed into highly delectable goods and were in demand especially during Christmas time.Chocolates were given as treats and gifts to children and loved ones. For example, Queen Anne, in the early 20th century, sent chocolates to soldiers during Christmas during World War i. The tradition continued and spread around the world. keeping this tradition alive, Abela presents a wide range of festive chocolates from Cadbury, Nestlé, Mars, kinnerton, and Quality Street, for grown ups and kids alike. hurry to get yours before they are all gone!

Numerous types of gluten-free pasta are developed and produced

so that they remain “al dente” when cooked. In addition to the

classic spaghetti, Schär also offers lots of other smaller pasta

shapes, a range of delicate pastas suitable for delicious soups

and particularly popular with children because they are not too big

and, last but not least, egg pastas.

Located on the west crescent of the Palm Jumeirah, Dubai, I’m

quite underwhelmed by the hotel exterior and unsure whether the

designer’s intent was to have guests likening their first impression

to that of a rather plainly giftwrapped present. Only to tear off the

brown paper to reveal the most exquisitely bejewelled gift you’ve

ever seen inside. Twisted golden pillars gleam among lavishly

upholstered chaise longue and high-backed chairs reaching up

to cathedral-high hand-painted ceilings where the gold theme

continues to swathe the entire lobby. Wow, is this what it’s like to

be an Anatolian Sultan with untold riches.

Rooms are equally opulent and the impeccable service is typically

Jumeirah, (if at times a little over-bearing), efficient, polite and

knowledgeable. Within the time it takes to get to our room, we

have a complete overview of the hotel and its facilities along with

locations and a run down of the restaurants and their envelop

times. Very impressive for a 3 minute trip to the 1st floor.

Being a Palm Jumeirah beachside resort, rooms offer exhilarating

vistas of the Arabian Gulf or Dubai’s impressive skyline depending

which side your room faces, so no one really misses out on

having a room with a view. It’s hard to define what makes the

perfect hotel room, but generally, sleep plays a big part and as

I’m devoured by a billowy cloud of pillows I know the bed has

been particularly well selected and a lie in will be in order to fully

appreciate its comfort.

Eventually dislodged from the pillows I found myself enjoying a

refreshingly good old ice lolly, fruit platter and iced water by the

pool as staff whizzed around making sure everyone was hydrated,

comfortable and in need of anything else. Well, yes actually, would

someone just gently lower me into the pool and point the straw

to my mouth occasionally? I say this in jest yet genuinely believe

that nothing would be too much trouble, but alas, I shall have to

put it to the test later as my spa appointment awaits.

A hamam, is a hamam, is a hamam, right? Wrong. Enter the

Talise Ottoman Spa and a calming other world where you can

journey through the invigorating Royal Hamam ritual and then

drift away for hours in darkened recessed lounges surrounding

an illuminated pool sipping on fresh juices or a platter of figs and

dates. Slip into the 40°C salt water indoor pool to ease away

tension and then lounge on the heated stone beds until you are

ready for the chillingly cold adventure shower or a stint in the

snow cabin to give your circulation a kickstart! You might just

have to ask someone to carry you back to your room you will be

so relaxed - problem is, they might just oblige.

Dinner was booked at Amara - a restaurant serving northern

Indian cuisine focusing on Mughalai curries, tandoori oven dishes

and biryanies with a unique one price for all concept. For AED

250 you get to order as many dishes from the a la carte menu

as you like, as many times as you like. My recommendation

though is to go for the tasting menu where small dishes of just

about everything are brought out to the table for you to try. Some

you will recognise, some you won’t, but that’s the beauty - you

don’t end up ordering your usual and you might find some new

favourites to add to your list. The dishes are fresh and abundant,

so you would be advised to wear clothes with an elasticated

waist, however out of fashion, and go there hungry, it’s all too

delicious to waste any.

This December, pack up a small bag and take yourself to Turkey,

albeit in Dubai, and spend a luxuriously decadent night at the

Jumeirah Zabeel Saray. Chill out in the spa, then close your

eyes and point to one of the many, many exclusively designed

cocktails in the Voda Bar - they are all good so it really doesn’t

matter where your finger lands. Then loll by the pool among the

palms or along the tranquil beach. It’s a great place to spend this

festive season - so go on, have a slice of Turkey for Christmas.

(Suitable for vegetarians!).

The gentle clatter of hooves on cobbles can be heard every now

and then, ferrying huddled passengers past festively decorated

window displays overflowing with caskets of sugar plums and

chocolate fir cones - Vienna at Christmas time is like being

caught in the scene of a oldy worldy Christmas card. Icy cold

and the air full of frost, your senses will be soothed by wafts

of roasting chestnuts and baked apples as your eyes catch

the strands of fairy lights suspended across narrow streets

like illuminated cobwebs against the dark winter sky. Here you

can leave behind the Vegas-style tackiness adopted by many

a metropolitan city and immerse yourself in a living, breathing

advent calendar moment in time.

Vienna is a city overflowing with history - from the Renaissance

to the industrial revolution and beyond, it doesn’t take much

to imagine life in another age as many of the buildings remain

pretty much the same as they did 100 years ago. The city was

alive back then and still today, with residents and tourists milling

through the narrow streets to their jobs or in search of the next

tourist attraction, of which there are countless. Wherever you

find yourself, you will be surrounded by brilliant architecture

- a harmony between old and new, a contrast of styles and

materials, unity of form - modern Viennese architecture. The

new Vienna Central Station will be one of the most modern in

Europe, contrasted with St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its iconic

ornately patterned, richly coloured roof, and roots dating back

to 1147. It’s a place where you can get out your camera, start

clicking, and before you know it, need to change out your full-

to-bursting 16GB memory card for a new one. But more of the

new Fuji E-X1 later.

Apart from being regarded as the City of Music because of its

musical legacy, Austria’s capital city of Vienna is also said to be

“The City of Dreams” because it was home to the world’s first

psycho-analyst - Sigmund Freud. The City’s roots lie in early

Celtic and Roman settlements that transformed into a Medieval

and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It

is well known for playing an essential role as a leading European

Music Centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism

through the early part of the 20th century. The Historic centre of

Ancient and modern meet on the streets of Vienna

the smells of Christmas permeate the winter air

Vienna is rich in architectural ensembles, including Baroque castles

and gardens, as well as the late-19th-century Ringstrasse lined with

incredibly grand buildings, monuments and parks.

The English name Vienna is borrowed by the Italian name Vienna.

“Vienna” and the official German name Wien, and the names of the

city in most languages, are thought to be derived from the Celtic

word “windo-”, meaning bright or fair – as in the Irish “fionn” and

the Welsh “gwyn” – but opinions vary on the precise origin. Some

claim that the name comes from Vedunia, meaning “forest stream,”

which subsequently became Venia, Wienne and Wien. Others claim

that the name comes from the Roman settlement of Celtic name

Vindobona (Celtic “windo-bona”), probably meaning “white base/

bottom [land],” which became Vindovina, Víde (Czech) and Wien.

Who knows, but we are not here on a historic pilgrimage, lovely

though all that is, no, we are in Vienna for the Christmas markets.

Just one of the things that make the city special at this time of year.

Dotted around the city, they are heavy with the fragrance of freshly

cut pine trees and ginger biscuits, so wrap up warm and take a stroll

through a time since past.

The Christmas Markets in Vienna truly are an age-old tradition.

The forerunners of the present-day events date back to the

Middle Ages when in 1298 Albrecht I granted Vienna’s citizens the

privilege of holding a December Market or “Krippenmarkt”. Since

then, the character and prevalence of these markets has changed

considerably. Nowadays over 20 official Advent Markets sell a vast

array of seasonal gifts and mouth-watering treats.

Some of the market’s offerings can be a little twee in places, but

even the kitchiest decorations have their fair share of labour put into

making them that way. From heart-shaped cookies to glass baubles

and gingerbread houses they all have their place at Christmas and

regardless of their clichéd appearance it just wouldn’t be the same

without them.

You will find the Friday organic market on Freyung, with its jars of

local honey and home-made sauerkraut and then - almost hidden

behind a mass of spruce trees - one of the city’s several Christ-

Don’t leave without trying a slice of

kindlmarkts. This is where you come for a taste of some of the city’s

local delicacies, like sharp shredded cabbage with slender smoky

sausages, twists of bread dough and slices of spice cake. Hot toast

with swathes of molten cheese from the raclette or a paper cone of

roasted chestnuts - braziers proffering nuts plump and sweet, split

skins all the easier to pop open and nibble on as you browse.

Vienna seems to be the home of hot pancakes with fruit compotes,

freshly baked cookies and crisp apple strudel. Yes, and doorbells

and sleighbells and schnitzel with noodles. It is a place to sit idly

watching the world go by over a generously whipped-cream-topped

coffee with a side of Sachertorte, and of course lashings more

cream. Bite into a schnitzel the size of a house or tuck into a hearty

plate of boiled beef and vegetables ladled over ribbons of pancake

and spring onions. Everything designed to warm your cockles from

the inside out - and with a little dusting of snow, Vienna, it would

seem, is just made for Christmas. It is also a photographer’s dream,

and it was time to play with the Fuji X-E1 to see how it performed.

The more affordable counterpart to the well-regarded X-Pro1, it is

an interchangeable lens, mirrorless camera with the same powerful

APS-C sensor, shedding 30% in size and 21% in weight. In essence

a slimmed-down X-Pro1, with the large, complex and expensive

hybrid finder replaced by a purely-electronic viewfinder, and roughly

a 41% price difference (from $1,700 to $1,000).

The camera noticeably smaller than the X-Pro1, retains the same

Leica-esque retro rangefinder design - feeling light, yet solid and

sturdy and for me, drop dead gorgeous. It’s also a camera that oddly,

people do not get nervous about being photographed with. Maybe

it’s the retro look that gives people the idea I’ve nicked my grandad’s

old film camera. I’m not sure, but it certainly does not have the

same effect that my DSLR has - one of sometimes downright anger,

shyness or intimidation. No, the X-E1 seems to be welcomed like an

old friend, it’s really quite perplexing.

Feature-wise, the X-E1 is virtually identical to its bigger (and more

expensive) sibling. It still has a 16MP CMOS sensor, ISO that can

be boosted to 25,600, 1080p HD video recording, and RAW files.

It gains a lovely little built-in flash, longer battery life, and a built-in

mic jack, but loses some speed (3fps instead of 6) in addition to

the hybrid viewfinder. You have a vivid 2.8-inch LCD screen on the

back and the top of the camera hasn’t changed in its layout, except

everything is just a tad smaller.

So, on to performance. We put it to the test with high ISO’s, low

light and glaring sun, so how did it do? The electronic viewfinder

lags a little in low-light. The shutter lag has reportedly been reduced

to 0.05 seconds, and the focusing speed to 0.1 seconds and it did

indeed seem like the autofocus was snappy and useable.40

Testing was done with 3 interchangeable lenses, which

personally I found quite tedious for such varied shots in and

around the city. However, with the knowledge that a new XF

18-55mm F2.8-4 R OIS LM lens will soon be available it makes

the X-E1 a very solid choice, both specs-wise and in its design.

For the price, you get a DSLR-sized sensor, and a piece of

kit that suits everyday snapshots as well as more serious

photographic assignments.

My one gripe if I am to be picky with the XE1 and X-Pro1 is the

lack of a decent RAW workflow. If I were to recommend as a pro

grade option, then RAW is a must for shooting. The software is

still awkward and although Adobe’s LR 4.1 converts the files, it

does so very poorly. The JPEG’s are great (seen in this article),

but the X-Pro1 is billed as a “professional” level camera, and

yet it is extremely difficult to get good RAW output.

CHRISTMAS MARKETS IN VIENNA

From mid-November to Christmas, Vienna’s prettiest

squares transform into magical Christmas markets. The

aroma of baked cookies and gingerbread filling the air.

Rathausplatz becomes a shining fairytale land. The 150

or so sales stands offer Christmas gifts, Christmas tree

decorations, sweets and warming drinks. The trees of

the surrounding City Hall park are festively decorated and

radiate in a sea of lights.

Not far away is the Christmas village on Maria-Theresien-

Platz, situated between the Museum of Fine Arts and the

Natural History Museum. Over 60 stands offering traditional

handicrafts and original gift ideas are set up here during

Advent. The romantic Christmas village in the Old AKH is

also a popular meeting point during the run-up to Christmas,

especially for the younger crowd.

The Old Viennese Christmas Market on Freyung in the

city centre is committed to tradition. A Christmas market

was held here as early as 1772; today, it is a place to

buy handicrafts, glass decorations, traditional cribs and

ceramics. Top-quality handicrafts can also be purchased a

couple of steps further along at the Am Hof Advent Market.

The cultural and Christmas market in the Ehrenhof in front

of Schönbrunn Palace offers romance in front of an imperial

backdrop, and is converted into a New Year›s market after

Christmas. The Advent market in front of Belvedere Palace

is also held in an imperial ambience. There’s also lots to

discover in the idyllic little lanes of the Christmas market on

Spittelberg.
