Every spring, thousands of colourful eggs are on display at Vienna's Easter markets, as the Austrian capital is decked out ahead of the celebrations. "It's an old tradition. It's also traditional to blow out the egg, paint it, and then hang it on the tree," says Pamela Pries, who sells eggs. While Birgit Busch from Germany adds, "It is a special attraction, and it is incredible to see all the crafts on display here. It is really wonderful to experience this." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
