Vienna is a vibrant capital city that has a lot to offer travelers in terms of history and culture. The city is home to architecture that can only be described as ‘majestic’. From St. Stephen’s Cathedral to the modern design of the Haas House which is situated directly opposite, there are so many historical buildings, museums and cafs in Vienna to keep you occupied for more than a few days.
Vienna may be somewhat confusing to navigate around due to changing street names, however ring roads with multiple names are often close to main attractions. Mariahilfer Strasse heads west up to the main train station, the Westbahnhof which is central to a lot of eateries and hostels. From there you can make your way to the Rathaus, the Museumsquartier, the Opera and a variety of parks and squares.
Wiener schnitzel, sachertorte, strudels, sausages and kebabs are some of the best meals Vienna has to offer. You should be able to find all of these served up by street vendors or in cafes. Viennese style coffee is also said to be very unique and spending a few hours in a caf is encouraged as guests are made to feel a welcome as possible.
The Schnbrunn Palace, The Vienna Opera House, Vienna’s MUMOK and of course St. Stephen’s Cathedral are all attractions that are well worth a visit.
There are a number of travel guides that will go into detail about these locations as well as many others – Europe on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides) is a popular and well-worn travel guide but for more detail try The Rough Guide to Vienna – it’s the most recently published mainstream Vienna travel guide. Also take a look at the Moleskine Vienna Notebook – it’s a pocket-sized lined notebook with several pages of information about Vienna travel.
The city of Vienna has a lot to see and do so check out the Indie Travel Podcast travel in Vienna podcast and for more information take a look at these travel guides.
