So, the first week of December, we kicked off Month 2 of our Christmas spirit (we started early in November) in the place where Advent was invented.

Our 8-day itinerary:
- Prague, Czech Republic 🇨🇿
- Munich, Germany 🇩🇪
- Salzburg, Austria 🇦🇹
- Hallstatt, Austria 🇦🇹
- Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹

The entire trip was as romantic and captivating as we hoped.

The trains, the churches, the graveyards, the mountains.
The foods, the lights, the hidden discoveries.

⭐️The final tally: we visited 14 Christmas markets. ⭐️

Favorite foods:
- Trdelník, as it’s called in Prague. (Found it in Austria too where it has a different name.)
- Roasted nuts
- Sausages
- Lindt Bretzel bar

Favorite Christmas markets:
- Vienna’s Christkindlmarkt at Rathaus. It’s as large as a county fair and even with the insane crowds, the over-the-top lights, decorations, and number of booths made it a sensory overload. Bonus: ice skating on the winding track.
- Prague’s Old Town Square. Total “pinch-me” moment. Felt like we were in a movie set, in this well-preserved medieval setting.

Favorite city:
- Prague. So much untouched medieval charm. This city ranks up there with Paris, Carcassonne, and Lauterbrunnen on my list of fav Europe cities. I had no idea I would love it so much.

Most unusual experience:
- Krampus day in Salzburg on December 5. This special event was unlike anything we’ve seen before. Google “Krampus Austria” and then watch the video at around 9:40.

Most “Dreamy” destination:
- Hallstatt. There’s a legit reason it is so heavily featured on Instagram and in calendars like “World’s Most Beautiful Places”. Watch video at 7:50.

Glad we packed:
- Thermals. We had on so many layers underneath our thick jackets, we were walking Stay-Puff Marshmallows. Since we were outside the entire trip, our thermal base became very important.

Wish we had more time in:
- Munich. A silly travel mistake + train delays caused us to lose almost our entire time in Munich. The 90 minutes we spent there gave us enough of a taste to know we want to go back.

I loved that you both went "bleh!" to whatever you drank in Salzburg! So many YouTubers pretend that everything is wonderful, so I got a kick out of such an authentic moment. So what was it that you were drinking? I'm hoping to go this year and plan to visit all of the places you featured (and more), so thank you!

What was the deal with the Krampus group and your toboggan? Was it because it was red? Plus they marked you with the ashes I guess. Loved watching your video.

Wroclaw has one of the best Christmas Markets in Europe, pity it's missing in the video 😓
