VIENNA, September 9, 2010 /PRNewswire/ — The Magic of Advent in Vienna is a favorite place to meet, with many visitors returning several times each season.
A new lighting concept featuring a number of additions will ensure that the Magic of Advent in Vienna makes a still more dazzling impression this year. Still more glittering lamps will enhance the festive atmosphere, drawing visitors away for a gentle stroll apart from the hubbub of the main market. A tour of the beautifully decorated Rathauspark – where the famous Heart Tree, festooned with 280 glowing hearts, awaits – has written the opening chapter to many a love story over the years. And perhaps you will meet the Vienna Christ Child on its walk around the park, or listen when it reads a Christmas story in front of the crib.
There is a packed program of arts and crafts for kids and teens at the Christmas workshop. The vibrant and colorful Christmas market, offering a vast array of Christmas handicrafts, tree decorations and other yuletide gift ideas, is the centerpiece of the Magic of Advent in Vienna.
Evocative Advent aromas, a tall tree blazing with countless Christmas lights against the backdrop of City Hall, and the enchantingly decorated Rathauspark are just some of the highlights that give the Magic of Advent in Vienna its unique appeal.
This year the official opening will take place on November 13 and run until 6 p.m. on December 24.
A copy of the Magic of Advent brochure can be obtained free of charge from branches of the Austrian National Tourist Office or from the Vienna Tourist Board by calling: (+43-1)-24-555; fax: (+43-1)-24-555-666.
