Many people ask me: what is Austria like during the winter holidays?
Of course, being a local, I can readily tell them that it’s exactly as they imagine it to be; maybe even more so.
I can tell them that every street in Vienna becomes fit for an imperial ball once the festive lights go up. That few holiday markets are more deserving of a place in a fairytale than the Christkindlmarkt in Salzburg. Or that the sight of the Alps rising over the colorful facades of Innsbruck triggers more goosebumps than a cool winter breeze.
And trust me, I do!
Yet there is also an answer to that question you might not expect. Which is that it’s warmer than you think.
