There's a reason why Sony, Arri or Canon cahrge you more. BM cameras are great paper tigers but from my experience are not very reliable, part of the reason why you almost don't see big movies shot on BlackMagic. @Samuel, I believe BM are producing a viewfinder for this camera, that does indicate shoulder mounting is a good possibility. I think with a suitable plate for a shoulder pad, battery power on the back and viefinder, this camera would have good balance on the shoulder. The Pyxis captures to CFexpress cards or outputs over USB-C to an external SSD or over Ethernet.

Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro review: pro filmmaking without the price!

OK, they ignore in camera focus bracketing which is the single reason why my R3 collects dust but overall it and the R4 which I briefly had are solid still-camera packages. It is not true that true RAW requires more processing in post. You need transforms, just like for compressed log non-RAW video. And RAW is actually easier to play and render than highly compressed 10bit H265 files. They're designed to do heavy lifting so they have a lot of cooling capability.; functional for sure - pretty - not so much. Amazing value, and it also comes with DaVinci Resolve which is a pricey software.

It made me feel like a tiny but important cog in the machine. I was fortunate enough to snag some minutes with Maxon's CEO, David McGavran. A true industry veteran with over 20 years of experience, David's demeanor is as laid-back as his T-shirt and jeans. Despite his impressive background–which includes serving as Director of Engineering at Adobe Systems and working with some of the most prominent production houses–he's one of the coolest people you'll ever meet.

Models Walking in Daylight

I doubt it is my tired eyes to blame here and not the EVF, yet, I’ll be very happy to be proven wrong. If you have been following my work for a while, you most probably know what I think about the necessity of having an EVF on EVERY filming device, especially if it’s tagged as a “Pro” or “Cinema” camera. And in this regards BM did very well by offering a “cable free” EVF to go along their new camera.

Blackmagic Design says the camera features its 5th generation color science, which was first seen in Blackmagic Design’s URSA Mini Pro 12K camera. Blackmagic Design says Pocket Cinema 4K and 6K users will also receive this updated color science via a firmware update within the next few months. But it also makes the camera taller and it doesn’t fit comfortably with how I like to balance my camera when I shoot hand-held. It’s definitely heavier than Blackmagic’s battery pack and it makes the camera larger overall, but the weight distribution and balance, the overall ergonomics, suit me better. It’s a personal choice, though, and if you’re looking to keep your camera lean and mean and looking clean, I think Blackmagic’s battery pack is an excellent option.

The Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features dual native ISO up to 25,600, which means it’s optimized to minimize grain or noise in images, while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. The native ISO of 400 is ideal for scenes with on-set lighting. The secondary high base ISO of 3200 is perfect when shooting in dimly lit environments.

The viewfinder has a 70 degree swivel range and comes with 4 different types of eyecups for both left and right eyes. You get a new dynamic 12-bit gamma curve designed to capture more color data in the highlights and shadows, for better looking images. The color science also handles some of the complex Blackmagic RAW image processing, so color and dynamic range data from the sensor is preserved via metadata which you can use in post production. That means you get images that have a natural, film like response to color adjustments in post with DaVinci Resolve.

Color Science

But this Pyxis will no doubt have a good UI built in, with the proper English industry terms for everything, etc. There are other differences between a BlackMagic camera and a Panasonic mirrorless that might not be apparent without using them. This Pyxis will certainly record to SSDs plugged into the USB port. A lot of people will use it like that and then plug the drive into a computer to edit directly off the same drive. Yes, and the BS1H has almost none of the pros you mentioned earlier. And if you want to record RAW, you still have to attach BM Video Assist.

I've had at least one Asian lens manufacturer (who gets covered here occasionally) tell me that Sony's offer was a joke when I asked them why they were asking me questions about my RE efforts. Also, that 2011 publicity stunt has fine print even for lens makers people don't bother to read - they offer "basic" specifications. Depends upon what your definition of affordable is. I would say they abound but I do not know what you are willing to pay.

The results easily stack up to anything I’ve shot using cameras that cost three times the price. Located on the back of the camera are buttons to select the ND filters, as well as ones for High Frame Rate (for slow-motion shooting), focus-assist tools, menu access, and clip playback. A large, tactile start/stop record button perches on the camera’s integrated right-side handle, and a smaller one pokes out next to the top-right corner of the lens mount. An aperture wheel is set into the side handle as well. With high-end imaging technology, a tiny footprint, and loads of professional features, the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro (BMPCC 6K Pro) looks, on paper, like a filmmaker’s dream.

This feature alone might be worth the extra cost over the original model for many users, including myself. I can only hope that other manufacturers will favourably consider to follow what Blackmagic Design did here and add an ND filter to their future compact (mirrorless) cameras. Over the years he has written for Wired, Stuff, GQ, T3, Trusted Reviews and PC Zone, and now lives on the Kent coast in the UK – the ideal place for a camera reviewer to ply their trade. You have a powerful computer Raw 6K video files are huge.

His penchant for tearing things down and rebuilding them did not make Mark popular at home, however, when he got his hands on the legendary Commodore 64, his passion for all things tech deepened. These days, when he is not filming, editing footage, tinkering with cameras and laptops, or on stage, he can be found at his desk snacking, writing about everything tech, new jokes, or scripts he dreams of filming. Most films are not shot in raw - especially not the ones in the price category this camera plays in.

For about $150, you can get an SSD that will capture for 15 minutes at the highest data rate. Outside of having to secure the media, external SSDs are a great lower cost option. All you do is plug them in via USB 3.1 and you are ready to format and shoot; it’s really easy. Another thing to note is that the camera will try to capture to any media you put in it.

Since they use the EF mount, that's already available. Mick232, AF is not purely software, AF cannot exist without electronics and motors moving the lens glass. It would cost them way too much money in R&D to even make a dent. But I really don’t think they have the resources to compete in the stills market. Canon, Nikon, Sony, Panasonic and Fuji dominate stills and in a dwindling market (goodbye Olympus), do we need more competition. I think Sony, Canon, Nikon, Panasonic, and Olympus would argue with your “it’s just software” claim.

Blackmagic PYXIS supports creating a small H.264 proxy file in addition to the camera original media when recording. This means the small proxy file can upload to Blackmagic Cloud in seconds so their media is available back at the studio in real time. The ability to transfer media directly into the DaVinci Resolve media bin as editors are working is revolutionary and has never before been possible. Any editor working anywhere in the world will get the shots. With 3 models, customers can choose between L-Mount, EF or PL lenses, making Blackmagic PYXIS compatible with the largest range of cinema and photographic lenses in the world. The L-Mount model works with the latest full frame lenses from Leica, Panasonic and Sigma but can also accommodate lens adapters, allowing customers to use a wide variety of new and vintage lenses.

You can’t even turn off noise reduction on an FX3, whereas this Pyxis seems to be a full-blown cine camera. It’s not really viable in the context of showing something to a director while other people twiddle their thumbs. "where else could the display go?" They could've make a folding screen, like on old URSAs and the majority of mirrorless cameras. You can say it would increase the cost, but I'm sure that a hinge would increase the price less than buying an extenal monitor. The innovative side plates expand the riggability of their camera even further.

At the house's entry is a spacious entry vestibule with low ceilings that allows access to the two entertaining spaces and a series of stairs leading you up to the second level. Outside the entertaining spaces, along the street, is a long rectangular courtyard with a low brick wall to keep the children off the street. Wright would design the enclosed car court accessible off the street that allowed vehicular access to an attached garage. The concept of an attached garage was rare at the time, given the possible combustion from cars. The house was designed for Frederick C. Robie, a bicycle manufacturer, who did not want a home done in the typical Victorian style.

Architect

Wright designed the furniture, carpets, and textiles for most Prairie houses. However, Wright-designed furniture in the Robie House was only constructed for the entrance hall, the living and dining rooms, guest bedroom, and one bed for the third-floor bedrooms. Some of these pieces are attributed to Wright's interior design collaborator George Mann Niedecken. Robie's financial situation following his father's death may be the explanation for why the entire house was not furnished with furniture of Wright's designs. The entrance to the house is found at the end of long, sheltered path, almost at the rear of the property. To find it, the visitor walks a path of discovery, experiencing the building from different viewpoints, and gaining a better understanding of its design.

Wright's Life & Work

The westernmost bay of the garage originally contained a mechanic's pit, and the easternmost bay contained equipment to wash and clean automobiles. On the second floor of the minor vessel is a guest bedroom above the entrance hall and an adjoining full bath. East of the back stairway are the kitchen and butler's pantry, and the servants' sitting room. Two bedrooms and a full bathroom above the garage complete the quarters for the live-in servants. While Wright’s Prairie houses are typically horizontal like the Midwest landscape, the Robie House site helped Wright determine the design of the building.

Tour and Ticket Information

He was mid-30s in age at the time and, typical of the new style, his houses displayed low-pitched roofs and extended, horizontal lines that blend into the landscape. The Robie House is a renowned example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie style of architecture, which was characterized by its close relationship with the Midwest prairie landscape and its use of horizontal lines, art-glass windows, and Roman brick. Wright designed not only the house itself but also all of its interiors, fixtures, and furnishings, viewing them as integral parts of the structure’s overall character. Discover the house Frank Lloyd Wright described as “a cornerstone of modern architecture” on this guided tour that takes in both the exterior and interior of the building. Inspired by the expansive landscape of the Midwest prairie, Wright’s Robie House is the most famous of the architect’s groundbreaking Prairie houses.

Allowing Accessory Dwelling Units to be added to single-family residences are steadily becoming one of the most notable and widely utilized methods by homeowners all over the state. If you are an Orange County property owner, you may be interested in the new loan program aimed at helping homeowners build an ADU on their property. Orange County Housing Finance Trust has developed a program to encourage property owners to invest in an ADU by providing access to low-interest, deferred, partially forgivable loans for qualified owners.

Two angled rooms at the ends further reinforce the idea that space is extended outward. The house is divided into two wings, keeping the public areas toward the street and the service areas near the innermost sections of the house. The symmetry is an illusion, because the elevated terrace of the western end of the house is balanced by the wall of the courtyard to opening to service the eastern end. News from Dezeen Events Guide, a listings guide covering the leading design-related events taking place around the world. Sent every Thursday and featuring a selection of the best reader comments and most talked-about stories.

Ground Floor

Wright believed that designing his houses in harmony with nature would improve the health and well-being of the families that lived within. While the Robie House is built on a narrow lot without space for a large garden, Wright designed balconies and terraces at every level which he filled with flowers and shrubs. He created a sense of harmony with nature through his use of colors and materials. The color of the bricks, limestone, plaster, clay roof tiles, and copper gutters all work together to suggest the landscape of the prairie. Of the approximately 500 structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, about 400 of them were actually built.

Art Glass Windows

The low, hipped roof with its wide and projecting eaves, and the narrow brick with raked, horizontal mortar joints reinforce the dominant horizontality. Wright enriched the interior with furnishings, light fixtures, rugs and art glass. In 1957, the building was saved from demolition by a realty company that later transferred ownership to the University of Chicago. For one day only, homeowners invite guests into their private living spaces, which retain the original exterior features while the interiors have been transformed to suit their individual tastes and lifestyles. Guides will be on hand to enhance the interior tours with details about the history and the beautiful architectural elements that give each home its unique character. The renowned annual Wright Plus Housewalk features rare interior tours of private residences and landmark public structures designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and his fellow architects.

National Landmark

Steel beams in the ceilings and floors carry most of the building's weight to piers at the east and west ends. As a result, the exterior walls have little structural function, and thus are filled with doors and windows containing 174 art glass panels in 29 different designs. Instead of stylized forms from Nature, a favorite Wright motif, geometric forms predominate.

The Robie House is stunning, and its significance in American architectural history cannot be denied. However, the space plan of the home seemed rigid and uncomfortable for me. It may have resulted from the low ceilings and proportion of the interior spaces, which seemed inadequate and cramped. This may have been a product of the time it was built, because they did not build spaces to the scale we do today. One of the key design features is a series of site walls extending out from the home's base.

In 1997, the university, which owns the house, entered into an agreement with the trust to manage, operate, and restore it. Restoration of the house’s interior involved its main entry hall and stairway; the billiard room and children’s playroom on the ground floor; and the living room, dining room, and guest bedroom on the main floor. Gunny Harboe of Chicago-based Harboe Architects, who has also worked on Wright’s Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, outside Chicago; Taliesen West in Scottsdale, Arizona; and Beth Sholom Synagogue in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, outside Philadelphia. The band of windows continues above what had originally been a three car garage, but now acts as the Robie House gift shop (above). That same area is now enclosed by an 8 foot high brick wall, creating a private courtyard at the east end of the home.

Abstract geometric forms in Wright’s favorite 30- and 60-degree angles are prominently displayed in the 174 art-glass window and door panels. Situated on a narrow, deep lot, the home’s slightly offset pinwheel footprint (above) takes full advantage of its environs. Wright incorporates the lot’s dimensions into the design by making the home over 3 times as long as it is wide, providing the basis for its dominant horizontal Prairie lines. One of the bi-products of this horizontality is the dramatic perspective that’s emphasized when viewing the house along its primary axis (below). The Robie House was officially designated as a National Historic Landmark on November 27, 1963, and was included on the first National Register of Historic Places list of October 15, 1966. In recognition of its architectural significance, the house, along with seven other properties designed by Wright, were inscribed on the World Heritage List under the title “The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright” in July 2019.

For Divvy, Chicago’sbike sharing system, a docking station can be found at Ellis Avenue & 58thStreet, just a 6-minute walk from Robie House.

THE LAYOUT AND DESIGN OF THE ROBIE HOUSE

On every door in the house, Wright used a custom octagonal door handle which was a thoughtful touch. Together, the unique ideas and experiences these men embodied created a piece of architecture that signified the principles of industrialization and modernity. The bedrooms are at this level, overlooking the house in a sort of tower-style. If you are planning on visiting several tourist attractions during your visit to Chicago, check out the Go Chicago Pass or Explorer Pass, both of them include a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Robie House.

Spaces

The all-day architectural experience is held in the historic Chicago suburb of Oak Park, home to more Wright buildings than anywhere in the world. Throughout the house, Wright-designed wall sconces can be found in the shape of a hemispherical shade suspended beneath a square bronze fixture. On the second floor living and dining rooms, spherical globes within wooden squares are integrated into the ceiling trim, further tying the two spaces together visually. Because these lights are all independently operable, different effects can be created within these spaces. Finally, a Wright-designed table lamp with an art glass shade stood on a Wright-designed library table in the living room.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Frederick C. Robie House: A Prairie Masterpiece

This was another way that Wright transitioned between building and landscape. For me, the site walls are a defining characteristic and one of my favorite elements of the home. This was an architectural strategy that Wright would use throughout his career. They are beautifully shown in his early drawings, with dense creeping shrubs crawling over the walls as though the building had been there for centuries. Above the main block, the second floor features bedrooms with windows and covered balconies, creating the conflicting dynamic that sets the entire composition in motion. On one side emerges a large vertical chimney that anchors all the horizontal levels below.

The natural tones of the color palette, art glass, wooden screens, and red oak furniture and moldings of the entrance hall are seen throughout the rest of the house. A staircase to the right leads to the primary living spaces on the second story, glimpsed beyond oak lattice screens. Throughout his design of the house Wright explored ideas of openness and connection, and he aimed to create a total work of art in which all interior furnishings and fixtures supported his architectural aesthetic. This includes the leaded art glass windows and square wood sconces with opaque glass globes to the built-in cabinetry and free-standing furniture.

Wright created a floor plan of two long rectangles that fit within the narrow dimensions of the lot. He increased the horizontal sweep of the house by using cantilevered roofs that extend beyond the walls at each end. A cantilever is a projecting horizontal structure anchored at only one end, like a diving board. Every element of the design is carefully considered, Wright even uses long, narrow Roman bricks that further emphasize the horizontality of the house. As with all Prairie houses, Wright designed the light fixtures for the Robie House. Wall sconces in the shape of a hemispherical shade suspended beneath a square bronze fixture can be found throughout the house.

The goal was to highlight modern homes constructed with industrial materials and techniques that could help solve the housing needs after WWII. All the furniture was designed by Wright; the dining table and chairs housed in the dining area were exceedingly popular. The basis of the composition is a long two-story block, with apparently symmetrical porches, each featuring a sloped roof, at each end. On the first floor of the south facade, which faces the street, there is a row of large doors opening onto a large balcony that projects outward from the house. The balcony provides shade to a series of similar windows on the ground floor.

I am planning a visit in less than two weeks and would like to become a member. What should I do?

Yes, all Trust members receive benefits of the Time Travelers Historical Museum Reciprocal Membership Program, which offers free or discounted admission to more than 250 history and house museums. If studied closely, architecture can provide glimpses into human history. It can give insight into our ancestors' customs, rituals, technologies, religions, and daily life. Architecture can provide a deeper understanding of the evolution and development of the human species.

One notable piece of furniture designed by Wright for the Robie House is a sofa with extended armrests, which echo the cantilevers of the exterior roof, creating side tables on each side of the sofa. The sofa has been on loan to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since 1982 and is on display as part of the furnishings in the reconstructed living room of the Francis W. Little House. Other miniature cantilevers can also be found in the shelves of the built-in dining room buffet and a food preparation island in the kitchen. At Robie House, the main living space is a single, light-filled room divided only by a central chimney.

Completed in 1910, the house is recognized today as one of the most important buildings of the 20th century. The Fredrick Robie House is a testament to Frank Lloyd Wright's genius as an architect and designer. It is a magnificent example of Wright's innovative architectural style and is essential to Chicago's cultural landscape. Its unique features make it a must-see for modern architecture and American history enthusiasts. Whether you're visiting Chicago or just learning about historic buildings online, make sure you don't miss out on this iconic piece of history.

Cruises to Italy

Many of its buildings were lost to the sea in an earthquake in 1343, but it’s still possible to see the Moorish-style Cloister of Paradise and Arab-Romanesque Sant’Andrea Cathedral. Though it’s not as famous as its neighbor, Positano, Amalfi still offers incredible views and an Italian charm. Observe coastal city life while you admire its impressive architecture.

Cruises to the Amalfi Coast will take you to some of the most enchanting destinations across the southern Mediterranean and beyond with itineraries ranging from seven to 12 nights. Most itineraries start in Rome (Civitavecchia), and you can visit the Amalfi Coast during your stop in Naples. There are an abundance of different itineraries to choose from which, as well as the Amalfi Coast, visit Santorini, Messina, Athens, Istanbul, Dubrovnik, and Venice. Trips include breaks along the way to go snorkeling and swimming at beaches and grottoes reachable only by the sea. One of Europe’s most desirable and romantic locations, the Amalfi Coast has long been impressing visitors that flock to the region. Occupying the southern side of Sorrento’s peninsula, it lays claim to being Europe’s most beautiful stretch of coast.

ATMs are located around Salerno and the other main cities and towns of the Amalfi Coast. Tipping isn’t expected in Italy, though a small tip is appreciated for great service.

Our cruise & snorkel tours

Head inland for a relaxed day at the hilltop town of Ravello, located halfway between Amalfi and Maiori. While in Ravello, spend time at the Villa Rufolo to stroll through its amazing gardens and see the breathtaking countryside and coastal views. In the town center, spend time in Piazza Centrale, a pretty square home to the small but lovely Ravello Cathedral and the Ravello Art Gallery. Salerno's cuisine is defined by fresh seafood, often caught earlier that day. Spaghetti alle vongole — topped with clams, tomatoes and herbs — is a must-try. Pick up a Neopolitan-style pizza, made with San Marzano tomatoes and fresh mozzarella di bufala.

The bell tower and cupola that stretch around the main sanctuary are covered with yellow and green tiles while the interior is elaborately decorated with beautifully preserved frescoes. The Amalfi Coast cruise port is located in the city of Salerno, 35 minutes south of Naples. Cruise ships dock on the western end of the port, and passengers are shuttled from the ship to the port gate. The shuttle ride to the port gate is quick and only takes about 10 minutes.

Amalfi Coast (Salerno), Italy

A half-day boat & snorkeling tour from Amalfi to Positano and back, visiting the Amalfi Coast's most famous villages, sea caves and other attractions. Homes lining the cliffside seem to defy gravity as they overlook the blue waters and rise upward like a giant sand sculpture on the shores of this Italian city. All of the cities and towns located along the Amalfi Coast (and throughout the rest of Italy) use the euro.

Top attractions include a medieval castle that overlooks the glittering gulf and a stunning, circa 11th-century cathedral with a bell tower and Byzantine-style bronze doors. Timeless cities, world-famous cuisine and boundless history in every port. Throughout history, the Amalfi Coast has served many different functions, including as a maritime republic and the location where the compass was invented. In addition, Amalfi has even been the site of ancient mythology, since it is said the name Amalfi refers to a nymph that Hercules loved who was buried in Amalfi as a desire of the gods. Italy is famous for its espresso, and the Amalfi Coast region is no exception.

The Amalfi Coast is bursting with beautiful pastel towns like Amalfi, Positano and Sorrento. Take a drive along the winding cliffside, and stop along the way to take in the views of the waves crashing against the rocks below. Then, stop by Positano for a glass of wine and a panino of sliced tomato, pesto and locally made mozzarella di bufala. On a cruise to the Amalfi Coast, you'll enjoy delicious meats and well-curated wine selections at Fine Cut Steakhouse, or fresh seafood at Raw on 5. Soak up the sun on the Pool Deck, or enjoy a serene moment with a book at the adults-only Solarium.

Don’t miss seeing the Piazza del Duomo, with its opulent cathedral that has a striped stonework pattern. Perhaps you have seen photographs of the famed Amalfi Coast, where colorful terraced homes nestled into cliff-side hills climb from the deep blue Mediterranean Sea. Certainly worth including as a port city for your next cruise around Italy. These port towns, south of the Sorrentine Peninsula in Italy, were not highly accessible via roads until the past 100 years, when the area first became popular for the upper class.

To drink it like an Italian, order a cappuccino before lunch and then switch to just an espresso shot after lunch—or spoil yourself by having it affogato style poured over gelato. For a refreshing drink, try limoncello, a liquor made with lemons and vodka. Perched on a hilltop, Taormina has an ancient theater and dramatic views of the scalloped coastline. Florence is a dream Italian cruise destination for Renaissance-era sightseeing.

This allows them to make personalized recommendations about activities and meals.

Old World Europe – Rhine River cruises

Imagine sailing down one of Europe's iconic rivers as picturesque villages, castles and landscapes pass you by, all while twinkling lights from nearby Christmas markets dance on the water. While this might sound like a fairytale, it can be a reality on a Christmas market river cruise. This site focuses on small-format cruises and ship-within-a-ship concepts on large cruise ships, including special cruise experiences you can enjoy during your next vacation. Truly they are so successful in Europe that most cities that have one no matter how big or small do a great job. Even small cities along the Danube River, like Passau where three rivers converge, have great holiday markets. Though you can certainly find other drinks at the markets, beer is less typically drunk at the markets.

Travel In Good Company

Your trip ends in Brussels, with a whole day to explore the cute squares and charming markets and try local fare. Vienna is easily the best Christmas market in Europe for anyone who loves classical music and Christmas carols given the full choral treatment. Austria's capital is famous as the former home of Strauss, Beethoven and Mozart and during the holiday season international choirs stage free performances at the Christmas market held beside Vienna City Hall. It's one of the largest markets in Europe and also features a large skating rink. The best Christmas markets in Europe draw revelers by the thousand to enjoy the aroma of gingerbread and mulled wine alongside charming stalls selling traditional toys, local crafts, specialty foods and more.

Christmas Markets of Rhine-Main

On day three, you'll need to decide whether to visit Ghent or Bruges, both of which have beautiful architecture and a Christmas market and offer opportunities to try local food. In every stop on your Christmas Markets cruise along the Rhine or Danube, you'll enjoy all the magic of your destination's holiday markets, each of which has taken on a distinctive character of its own over the centuries. You'll discover those local traditions… like the hot mulled wine known as glühwein, served in collectible mugs unique to each market… that have caught on to become an indispensable part of the holiday celebration.

Which rivers are the best for a Christmas markets cruise?

Immerse yourself in the festive spirit of picturesque cities before setting sail, or continue the merriment after disembarking. Our meticulously designed extensions allow you to relish in the holiday splendor, explore charming markets, and create cherished memories that linger far beyond the season. Elevate your yuletide adventure and make your Christmas Market River cruise truly unforgettable by indulging in the beauty and wonder of these captivating destinations.

It's common for people to book a Christmas market cruise a year or more in advance. Some companies will offer a discounted deposit for those who book early, and others will offer monetary savings for booking well in advance. Look for wave season (January through March) or Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Travel Tuesday deals for river cruise discounts or other promotional offers. On my seven-night river cruise, I visited six ports and enjoyed a half day of scenic sailing through the Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our ports of call were Budapest; Bratislava, Slovakia; Vienna; Krems, Austria; Linz, Austria; and Passau, Germany. After a motorcoach transfer from Paris you'll board your Viking Longship in Reims.

Vienna, Austria: Best European Christmas Market for Classical Music Buffs

This route cruises along the second-longest river in Europe through Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia, stopping in the capital cities of Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna, as well as Salzburg.

Take a look at our latest sailings below and find your perfect Christmas markets river cruise for you.

Always a popular choice, a Christmas Market River Cruise is the perfect way to see a host of Europe’s world famous Christmas markets. While many river cruises traverse the waters around France, Germany and Austria, AmaWaterways' Gems of Southeast Europe itinerary takes guests to Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Romania.

Each market sells an abundance of food, and the food options change from town to town. If you can, I suggest bringing at least two pairs of outdoor shoes in case your waterproof shoes can't handle the snow or a few days of rain in a row. I brought a pair of fleece-lined Crocs to wear off the ship in a few ports where the weather was warmer with no precipitation. Middle and Eastern Europe is often colder than Western Europe, the latter of which has a milder winter season.

If you've ever wanted to explore European Christmas markets, a river cruise is an easy way to do it. Many of the best river cruise brands and guided group tour companies offer Christmas markets river cruises throughout Europe. They all showed off the major church in the city center and described how the city navigated various wars. So I used the tours to help navigate to the city center, then ventured off on my own with my travel companion. We used walking directions on Google Maps as a way to get to destinations we were interested in and to get back to the ship once we were ready to warm up for a while. After you find a few river cruises that fit your travel dates, dig into each destination and what it has to offer.

On your second day in Amsterdam, visit the Rijksmuseum and take an evening canal cruise with the group. Foodies will love it when the cruise heads to Gouda to explore the history of the city plus get a tasting of stroopwafels, which are cookie sandwiches invented in the city. The cruise continues into the Netherlands at Maastricht, where you can explore the city and its Christmas market, or head to Aachen, Germany, for festive fun. Alternatively, you can visit Valkenburg's underground Christmas market, located inside a cave. The last stop of the cruise is Antwerp, Belgium, where you can enjoy a concert, a beer tasting and time to enjoy the city at your leisure. The last day in Germany is spent in Cologne, where you can visit the beautiful Christmas markets that dot the city landscape, as well as lace up some skates to glide around an open-air ice rink.

Then, meander from the Main River to the Rhine to get to the winemaking town of Rüdesheim. One of the excursions includes a wine tasting with a local vintner and a visit to the town’s fairytale Christmas markets. During your stop in Cologne, stroll through 160 wooden pavilions, watching artisans work as you sip mulled wine.

Christmas markets are open from midmorning until between 8 and 10 p.m., but there's not enough to do at each market to fill that entire time. I usually spent about an hour at the smaller markets in places like Passau and Linz and about two to three hours at the larger markets in Vienna and Budapest. In each port, you'll want to be sure there are more activities and attractions to fill the rest of your time in port. Flowing through grand capital cities, including Budapest, Vienna and Bratislava, the Danube is another big Viking river cruise Christmas markets destination. So much so, the line has a pair of all-new week-long festive itineraries to choose from. The Christmas on the Danube sailing runs between Budapest and Regensburg, with the chance to see the Hungarian and Austrian capitals.

Free Wi-Fi is standard and most hostels also have self-catering facilities. Housed inside the former Central Mineral Baths from the Ottoman era, the history of Sofia — from prehistory to the modern day — is on full display here. The museum spans two floors and includes rooms dedicated to the Bulgarian royal families of the 19th and 20th centuries. These rooms provide a glimpse of the lavish lives they lived.

Check out local participating businesses for specials while watching more than 1,000 classic cars and hot rods cruise up and down Main Street. By definition, small ships hold fewer than 1200 passengers, usually making the cruise experience more intimate with more individualized service. Each of the picks in the luxury cruise category is a small ship. The line’s newest ship, Silver Nova, which holds 728 passengers was ranked as the Best New Luxury Ship. This environmentally-friendly ship, which began its inaugural cruise in August, 2023 is the industry’s first hybrid luxury cruise ship.

June can be quite rainy, but otherwise, the daily temperature is usually over 30°C (86°F). Keep in mind that this is the most expensive time to visit, as prices for hostels and hotels increase.

Bicycle – There are lots of bicycle rental services in Sofia. Sofia Bike Rental and Rent a Bike Sofia are two good options. Public transportation – Sofia’s metro has two lines connecting the city center and the airport, as well as the central bus and train stations.

Seabourn Venture, the luxury line’s first 132-suite expedition ship, launched in late summer with itineraries in northern Europe; trips in Japan, the South Pacific, and Antarctica are on tap for 2023.

I personally think the best time to visit is spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). Both seasons have pleasant temperatures, fewer tourist crowds, and lower prices. The foliage around Mount Vitosha is spectacular during the fall, making for some excellent hiking. Temperatures range from 5-21°C (41-70°F) in the spring and 6-17°C (42-62°F) in the fall. Usually referred to as the NDK, this building has 15 separate halls, making it the largest cultural complex in the country.

They were only uncovered during the church’s restoration in the 20th century. The rotunda and the ruins are surrounded by modern government buildings and preserved in a large courtyard that remains open to the public. The small church holds weekday services so just dress respectfully. Councilor Ty Stober said he would prefer the city take a proactive approach to such events, potentially finding places where people could gather without being in such close proximity. Most businesses downtown are closed, aside from some restaurants that provide to-go orders, but aren’t serving people inside the establishment.
