On 6th December I got five postcards from Austria.
One of them shows the Christmas Market in front of Vienna's Town Hall. Markets at Christmas time are held in Vienna at least since 1382, the modern Christkindlmarkt however just dates back to 1764. It moved its location various times and is held in front of the Town Hall only since 1975. This is the biggest Christmas Market in Austria and attracts roughly 3million visitors in normal years, although there are nearly similar markets more just in Vienna.
This card was signed during a small Postcrossing Meet-up in Vienna and a Christmas stamp with a Rocking Horse (issued 12-11-2021) was used. I really like this stamp.
Thank You very much Anita!
