New Year's or Silvester?

Some English speakers are baffled to learn that in German speaking countries and some others in central Europe, no one talks about “New Year's” celebrations, but instead, we celebrate “Silvester”! What's going on here? Well, St. Sylvester was not a predatory pussycat, endlessly chasing Tweety-Bird, nor was he an action hero as some might think nowadays.

Gary Cox's Nova Danubia offers a holiday condo on the suburban train line between Vienna and Bratislava Slovakia, just minutes from the large Manufacturers' Outlet Shopping Center in Parndorf. The flat, and special tour packages linked to it, may be viewed at the Nova Danubia site, and also on special pages on Gary's Facebook, in English, German, Russian, and Slovak. With background and credentials as a Russia wonk (PhD in Russian Literature from Columbia U in New York), and with lots of experience designing and leading tours in Russia and all of east Europe, Gary caters to Russian-speaking travelers in the Vienna-Bratislava area, and to anyone wishing to travel to Russia or east central Europe.

What's hot right now is Christmas Markets, of course, and Nova Danubia is offering a Christmas shopping special, including a visit to Parndorf Outlets (just minutes from the condo), and Christmas Markets and specialty shops  in Vienna and Bratislava (including shipment of guests' packages to their homes afterwards).

Gary will also be offering a customized travel planning service called "Going My Way" ("Свой путь" in Russian, see pages on Gary's Facebook). Potential guests can send info about their interests, their reasons for wanting to visit an area, and Going My Way will create a customized tour plan, and can make the arrangements too, or even send Gary along as tour leader. Contact Gary here, on Facebook, or by e-mail for more info!

Christmas Markets in Central Europe

Central Europe's Christmas Markets are in full swing, and here are some tips on the best ones in the Vienna/Bratislava area.

The craft booths there are among the best around, with fine ceramics, textiles, and all manner of superb objets, sold by the craftspersons who have produced them. The market has its own website,…
