There's something about Vienna in December that feels like stepping into a music box. The Christkindlmärkte open, the air smells of glühwein and roasted almonds, and 2°C feels almost cozy when you're wrapped in wool. I spent a winter week there and attended three operas — the cultural calendar peaks when the temperatures drop. Spring (April-May) is when the city thaws; the Stadtpark bursts with tulips and the coffee house terraces reopen. Summer is surprisingly green along the Danube but tourist-heavy. Autumn is when locals reclaim their city.
