Sheila Dillon follows in the footsteps of The Archer鈥檚 Kathy and Kenton to explore the background, business and pleasure of Vienna鈥檚 Christmas Markets.

Sheila Dillon visits Sch枚nbrunn Christkindlmarkt and talks to organiser Gabriella Schmiedler and tea shop owner and stallholder Andrew Demmer about the business of the market, and to city guide Uta Minnich about the history of Vienna鈥檚 Christmas markets.

Sheila Dillon visits the 鈥淢agic of Advent鈥� Christkindlemarkt outside the Rathaus with press office Linda Pichler, and the Freyung Christkindlemarkt with 大象传媒 correspondent Bethany Bell, and talks to gingerbread stall holder Nela Alker.
