I will be in Vienna for a weekend at the end of Nov/beg. of Dec. for the Christmas markets. As such, I don't want to stay too far from the markets or they city. Also, I don't want to spend too much seeing as I won't be there that long. Thoughts? Suggestions?? Thanks!

There are several markets in Vienna. Here is a link to a map that you can cut and paste. https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=108020551970415983925.00045006fb7319bd63bf6&t=h&ll=48.20374,16.355081&spn=0.005434,0.008154&z=15&source=embed We like to use HRS.COM to search for hotels. Several of the Christmas markets are within walking distance of the Rathaus (Town hall). So, we went to HRS and sorted the hotels by distance from the Rathaus. Then we picked one in our price range and that had a decent rating. HRS customer ratings usually match our expectations. Weekends are very busy. You might also query the Tripadvisor msg board for Austria. Several locals from Vienna post there. http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowForum-g190410-i146-Austria.html
