Christmas Markets in Vienna are great. Buy some mulled wine (Gluhwein in German)which is served hot and is quite spicy. The mug it comes in is yours to keep - a great souvenir -but if you don't want it return it and get your €2 deposit back (Pfand).
One of the most amazing places in the world! Best thing to do - GET LOST!
Haggle in the market and nearly everywhere else. You'll wind up with a better purchase price. Plus, it's kind of fun to see that side of the culture.
