The old capital of Austria is called charming and beautiful by lovers of opera, museums, chocolate cakes and the famous Viennese coffee. Paving stones of stately squares and lush baroque historical facades combine in the cultural capital of the Old World with the comfort of hotels, excellent tourist service and amazing hospitality of the locals.
When to go to Vienna?
In summer, numerous fountains bring coolness to the Viennese, the authors of which are famous sculptors and architects of the past centuries. Winter Vienna is like an elegant postcard, on which you can see fabulous gnomes and good fairies behind the lush Christmas decorations. In spring, guests of the city admire the flowering trees in numerous parks and gardens to exhaustion, and in autumn a walk on the golden carpet of fallen leaves of the Vienna Woods brings even the most desperate pragmatists into romantic awe.
How to get to Vienna?
The international airport of the Austrian capital is located just 10 kilometers from the city and a three-hour comfortable flight from Moscow. From it to the city center, there is a high-speed shuttle train and a bus marked with a symbol in the form of two red brackets on white.
Housing issue
Vienna's hotel fund is not the most budgetary, but quite diverse. You can save on accommodation by settling on the outskirts of the city or in the nearby suburbs. The capital is connected with the suburbs by convenient transport links, and therefore the road to the main attractions will not take much time and will not cause problems. Purchasing the Vienna Transport Card will allow you to pay for your travel at a profit.
Argue about tastes
Viennese sausages and strudel, sweet omelet flavored with plum jam, and the emperor's favorite tafelspitz - in the Austrian capital you will have to forget about diets and fashionable vegetarian trends. Portions, as a rule, are quite significant, and therefore they can be safely ordered for two. For those independent travelers who prefer to leisurely enjoy a cup of coffee, we recommend outdoor mobile cafes, where the simplicity of the interior does not diminish the advantages of the kitchen.
Informative and fun
The most important sights of Vienna - Schönbrunn Palace, Museum Quarter, Hundertwasser House, Hofburg and Albertina Gallery can be visited with a single discount Wien Karte, which not only allows you to save on the entrance to the main attractions, but also gives you the opportunity not to pay for public transport during three days from the date of purchase.
