The stallholders of Vienna's Christkindlmarkt (Christmas City) will regale you with stories of the origins of their traditional wooden toys, as you munch on spicy gingerbread and sip mulled wine.

There is also the bustling grand market in Munich's famous Marienplatz and quaint little stalls in lakeside Lucerne.
