00:00Vienna's Christmas markets are some of the best in the world, but with so many to choose

00:03from, we asked a few locals to help us narrow it down.

00:06First on your list should be the iconic Viennese dream Christmas market.

00:09The lights are incredible, but the real star of the show, in my opinion, is the carousel.

00:13While this market is a must-see, it can get extremely crowded, so to avoid the crowds,

00:17head to Spittelberg, a cozy local favorite known for its high-quality vendors tucked

00:20away in charming alleyways.

00:22It's the perfect place to linger and sip a mole of wine.

00:24If you're looking for authentic souvenirs, you have to head to the Art Edmund Market.

00:28Over 80 local artisans sell their work, and it's also a very kid-friendly space.

00:32As for where to stay, Hilton Vienna Park and Hilton Vienna Plaza are ideal.

00:36Both are just a short walk away from the markets and everything else the city has to offer.

00:40And they're extra festive for the season.
