It has a nice mood around. Not the same as the one in Strasbourg, France. This one doesn't have a gothic feel. It has some elements of Baroque after it was rebuild due to the heavy damages by the Tartars.

This part of the stairs captures the mood very well. Even the colours are very special. Don't you think?:)

Vienna MQ Point


MuseumsQuartier, their slogan is 'Now or Never'.

This place called MQ Point is where culture mets kitsch. There are serious art with an offbeat humor. Many imaginative products other than museum tickets are sold. You can't miss the adorable traditional roly poly dolls. Some called it 'never-fall doll' or even tumbler toys.

The MQ Point is more than just a run-of-the-mill museum shop, it stocks cool design and unconventional gifts including mugs, bags, buttons and T-shirts with fun messages. Every “fashion Friday” the store picks a designer of the month and goes on to market products created by the winner at affordable prices. The result is an exciting cross-section of the Austrian and international design scenes.

Being just a short jump from Budapest, it is especially popular to visit it over the weekend, from mid-November through Christmas. The reason is, Vienna's public squares are transformed into Christmas markets with hundreds of booths full of gifts and goodies for visitors to buy.

Each year a traditional Christmas Market transforms City Hall Square into a magical Christmas wonderland.  Sample cookies, savor punch and select gifts at one of the many shopping booths throughout the square. 

Vienna Christmas Market

We were simply strolling and enjoying the amazing Christmas decorations: a giant 40 foot Advent wreath is prominently displayed in the center of the square while the trees in the neighboring Rathauspark twinkle with festive lights!

The Christmas village on Maria-Theresien-Platz is nestled between the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Museum of Natural History. More than 60 stands offer traditional, handcrafted wares and original gift ideas. The romantic Christmas Village in the Old General Hospital (Altes AKH) is a popular meeting point during Advent, especially for a younger crowd.

Tradition is the order of the day at the Old Viennese Christmas Market at Freyung. There has been a Christmas market here ever since 1772. Nowadays the stands offer attractive handcrafted pieces, glass decorations, cribs and ceramics. Festive Advent Christmas music rings out on the square from 4 pm.

It was also a wonderful time spent at the cultural and Christmas market in the Ehrenhof at Schönbrunn Palace where offers of Christmas romance in front of an imperial backdrop. The atmospheric market shows traditional handicrafts, hand-made jewelry and rustic Christmas decorations. There is a diverse children's program and a crib exhibition. The Christmas market in front of the Belvedere is also held in an imperial ambience.

That's Zannnie trying the Waffeln

An alternative Christmas market on Karlsplatz is a more contemplative affair. You're sure to find a Christmas gift or two amongst the wide range of handicrafts on offer. There's also lots to discover in the idyllic little lanes at the Christmas market on Spittelberg.

Zsámbék 016-1

In the 1050s the wife of Béla III of Hungary, who was the sister of the French king, gave the village to a knight named Aynard. The Aynard family built the Premonstratensian church beginning in 1220.
The church was destroyed in 1241 during the Mongolian invasions. Following the destruction, during the reign of Béla IV of Hungary, the church and monastery were rebuilt. Positioned at an important merchant route — halfway between Esztergom and Székesfehérvár and near Buda — the village underwent rapid growth.

In 1467 Mathias Corvinus granted the rights of an oppidium. He also gave the fortress to his son, Corvin János.

In 1541, Turkish troops occupied the fortress and held it for 145 years. During this occupation, they also built a Turkish bath, the ruins of which are still visible in the village.
In 1686 general Bottyán János fought there against the Turks. Later the Zichy family became the landowners of the region. They then rebuilt the castle.
An earthquake in 1763 ruined the church once again. It was not reconstructed after this horrific event. Settlers from Germany, who came to live in the abandoned village after the Turkish occupation, took the stones from the church and used them for building houses and fences. Many of the church's stones are still present in the walls of older houses.

Nagyvázsony 126-1

The village is first mentioned in a charter of 1233. Its name comes from the Váson clan, a dynasty which died out in 1472. King Matthias then gifted the estate to his favourite follower Pál Kinizsi, the military leader who had once been a miller's hand, a hero of legendary strength who defeated the Turkish. Kinizsi had it built into a residential castle.

Slovenia

Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The origin of the name is uncertain, with some scholars favouring derivation from the Celtic "bior-dun" (settlement on the hill), while others prefer the Greek word "pyr" (fire), a reference to the lighthouse on the tip of the peninsula.

Szentendre

Szentendre is known as the town of living art due to its artist colony of international renown, and its museums and galleries. With its well preserved, distinctive 18th-century townscape, the town centre is a group of heritage buildings unique in Hungary.
In the beginning of the 2nd century the Romans built a defence system in and around Szentendre. Their reinforced military camp was called Ulcisa Castra, the first known name of the town. Later the town was called after the patron saint of the parish church, the apostle St Andrew (Szent Endre).
