Rick Steves’ European Christmas Part 7 – Austria

Austria Christmas Screen Shot

This is the seventh repost in a series of Rick Steves’ European Christmas traditions I originally posted in 2013. I am posting from now until Christmas. These posts were well received last year and I hope they will be a blessing this year as well.

Rick Steves is a popular travel guide, especially in Europe, and has written several travel guides as well. If you have been following this blog you have seen several of his videos already.

Rick has produced a wonderful series of ten YouTube videos entitled Rick Steves’ European Christmas. These videos are in High Definition and are very professional in their production quality. Rick does a great job narrating based on his extensive personal knowledge leading and guiding tours of each country.

I am sharing the series between now and Christmas.

Each video depicts the local traditions for celebrating Christmas and I have found every one very interesting and uplifting. I hope you do, too!

If you like what you see, please share the post with as many of your friends on the internet as possible. You can use the Share Buttons if you are on social media.

Let’s share the joy of the season as those in several European countries show us their traditions.

In Part 7, we visit Austria where the festive swirl of heartwarming sights, sounds, and smells of Christmas abound in the land where the seasons most loved carol, Silent Night, was first performed over 200 years ago.

Enjoy!
