We visited Vienna at the end of February 2018. We arrived in Vienna at lunch time on a bus from Bratislava.

https://thewanderingboomerang.com/2018/04/16/bratislava/

The taxi from the bus station to our hotel was 15 euro. We stayed in 25 Hours Hotel after a long search on Air BNB and booking.com. I read about this hotel on a Vienna travel blog and made a note of it. I did my usual accommodation research and found that the Air BNB options were more expensive than 25Hours Hotel. The other hotels were also more expensive and old fashioned in comparison. I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s modern, the staff were friendly, it’s right beside the town hall/museum quarter and close to the metro.

The icing on the cake was the spa, the free yoga classes and the eco friendly shampoo and soap that was cruelty free! This hotel was made for me.

We stayed in the standard double room (98 euro). You can stay in a room with a bathtub on the balcony for 187 euro. Sadly that was out of our price range, but the outdoor bathtub nearly tempted me. I suggested we stay one night in the room with the bathtub and one night in the standard, but they don’t let you use the bathtubs in the winter months 😦

I should also note that I write this blog purely because I enjoy it and I don’t get paid to advertise hotels. I only recommend places I truly love. Thankfully they have hotels Berlin, Cologne, Dussledorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Munich, Paris and Zurich. I will definitely stay in 25Hours again in future.

We checked into the hotel and walked to Naschmarkt. This outdoor market is 1 mile long and has been running since the 16th century. It was such good fun bantering with the vendors. They shout at you “where are you from” and “try this, it’s an aphrodisiac”. You will get bombarded by vendors giving you free tasters. We nearly had enough samples to fill us for lunch. They vast array of hummus and olives in all different flavours and colours is worth a visit alone. With plastic free fresh produce, falafels and walls of spices and teas it’s a vegans delight. Don’t miss this! On Saturdays they have a flee market at the end of the mile long strip. I was also pleased to find hot mulled wine stands along the market as it was below zero temperatures that day!

We walked to the Opera House in the hope of getting tickets, but we were unsuccessful. I would suggest researching online before your trip and booking in advance. The tickets can range from approximately 45-150 euro. You can get tickets for 3-4 euro if you are willing to spend half a day queuing for standing tickets, and then willing to stand for the entire show. It was a bitter cold day and our time was limited in Vienna, so we opted out! The queue is indoors for the most part.

We took a walk around and stumbled across Hofburg Palace and the Palmhaus. Go in for a nosey or make reservation to make sure you get a table.

Café Demel is another tick on the tourist list. You can walk in and buy from the shop or queue at the back to get a seat in this beautiful café. We didn’t fancy the queue and opted out!

After exploring on foot all we were exhausted and slightly numb. It was an extremely cold day, so we went back to the hotel to warm our bones in the sauna, before heading back out at night time to the Town Hall. Over the winter months this Town Hall Ice Rink runs daily. You can pay for the whole day of skating, but we were pretty wrecked after an hour of fast skating around the rink and through the trees. This was probably our highlight of Vienna. Do not miss this!

Thankfully our hotel was 5 minutes from the Town Hall or we nipped back to the hotel for dinner at 1500 Food Market. I was able to request a vegan pizza. We went up to the 25Hours hotel rooftop bar to check out the snowy balconies before bed. The restaurant and rooftop bar were busy. I reckon it’s a popular place for the locals at the weekend.

The hotel staff suggested we go to the Burggasse area for Breakfast. It was a 5 minute walk from the hotel. This is a popular place for the locals, and we had breakfast in das mobel café. It had vegan options on the menu and vegan brownies so I was in my element.

I ordered the vegan black bread (coloured with charcoal) with coconut carrot spread and pink chickpeas. Really delicious! I wish we had time to come back here so I could try the rest of the vegan options.

Burggasse is right beside the metro so we jumped on the train to Schonnbrun Palace.

Schonbrunn Palace is a UNESCO world heritage site. The palace has 1441 rooms, and Mozart played here at age 6. You can stay in the palace, if you are willing to part with a good chunk of your spending money.

We walked around the grounds in the snow and sunshine, and found ballet dancers, water features, a zoo, and a café in a monument at the top of the hill to the rear of the palace.

The grounds also have a palmhouse and botanic gardens (7 euro), an orangerie (3.50 euro), maze, labyrinth, playground (5.50 euro), Hapsburgian Imperial Stables and rose gardens, but we had tired ourselves out by then. You could easily spend a whole day here and it’s free to walk around. There’s an apple strudel show outside the Café Residenz every hour (6 euro). You get a sample, the recipe and a free hotline service when making it yourself at home and need help. They also have a panorama train that takes you around the grounds (7euro, 50mins). If you have a Vienna Pass everything is free!

We booked the short tour to go inside the palace and I got a sneaky photo inside the main hall. The audio guide for the tour was interesting and helpful to understand what you were looking at. Don’t do the tour without this!

14.50 euro (short tour 22 rooms)

17.50 euro (long tour, 40 rooms),

or free with a Vienna Pass.

We got the metro back into the city centre and jumped off at St. Stephens Church. It’s free in, but you pay to go to the roof in the smallest lift I’ve ever seen. If your claustrophobic, climb the 343 steps instead. I went up to see the tiled roof but be warned it was bitter cold up there. You can also do a tour of the catacombs below.

There’s also a rooftop bar called ‘Lamee‘ that has a free view of the church roof tiles, although you’ll have to buy a glass of wine or a coffee to sit there.

We walked to Vegiezz for lunch. This is a chain vegan restaurant and we saw two on our walks around the city.

After a long day and a lot of walking, we went back to the hotel for our last go in the spa before dinner.

We went to Glasc briesl for dinner. It was a 5 minute walk from the hotel and suggested by the travel guides provided by the hotel. Good food and decent prices. The Vegan dish only 9.80 euro. I was surprised by the prices. I was warned how expensive Vienna was, but our most expensive meal was in Bratislava.

Our flights were in and out of Bratislava so we booked our train back to Bratislava for 10 euro. When booking the train back to Bratislava we booked online with ‘Go Euro’. It told us to use the ticket machines at the station and use the code to print our tickets. This didn’t work and we ended up in the help desk. They only printed them for us out of pity! I would suggest printing the tickets in your hotel or buy the tickets on the ‘OBB‘ website only. You can also buy tickets at machine in Haubanhof Train Station really easily. There was a Starbucks in the station with a vegan option! They had run out unfortunately. Bring food with you!

There were no vegan options in Bratislava airport! In fact the two food options left a lot to be desired. Eat before you go or bring food with you, vegan or not!

Vienna Center for Culture and the Arts

Vienna travel guide

Vienna, Austria’s capital and the most populous city. 415 km2 and has a population of 1.9 million. Measurement a hundred, looking at think that it’s a small city, and very short if you plan a trip, be sure to experience a big regret on the day of return. Because of the enormous artifacts of the city each Street and each corner is filled with places where you can spend time without getting bored. Gotta at least from a cultural aspect to this city exceptionally beautiful or architectural advice from my side to plan a trip 7 night.

Vienna’s transportation

let’s get transportation in Vienna, especially for people who will be abroad for the first time it’s hard and scary I can imagine. You know, it’s not like cities as Vienna but it sure is in every area of the city, even the subway stations and subway lines to a street made of separate exaggerating, all I can say. Named with the symbol numbered according to the region where u will go to metro lines U1 , U2. The subway line being connected to each other due to the numbers without even looking to ride any subway line will take you to definitely by making a transfer to where you want to go. Subways are usually empty and making it available to sit in for a period of more than 5 min a new one is coming. In the same way on the surface of the city tram lines, which allows them to provide transportation to each area is available on 0-1-2-3. Ours does not have a tourniquet system as we are used at metro stops. So your hands and arms shaking all subways, trains and trams you can ride. But never, ever, ever do that again don’t. Binislik Metro stop at only every 48 hours , 36 hours and weekly tickets are sold. Since there is a language option on some machines you can easily buy. Located at the entrances of subway stations to one unit at a time it will be enough to stamp your ticket. In summary, Vienna’s where don’t think of how far I could go, every place in one metro stop. Many car rental companies available, you can easily rent a car and explore places outside of Vienna.

a map of the Vienna Metro

Vienna’s accommodation

as I mentioned above, the most central point transportation within the city is very easy as you don’t necessarily need to select for your stay. You can stay anywhere that fits your budget. Air BNB for accommodation, we’we preferred yi. Unlimited home options available in our home and room with beautiful views of the subway, we were lucky to stay right at the foot of.

Vienna’s eat – Drinking

the variety of the Turkish cuisine, flavors and proud to say here. But Vienna’s also does have its own flavor. Sure the first thing you hear when you start to do research the Vienna Schnitzel Vienna. World’Introducing or Schnitzel come to this city and would not eat. Very ambitious in a way like I have eaten a schnitzel in my life I can say I ate here. The master was also famous Figlmuller Schnitzel. Chickens and pigs has the option. We preferred the chicken one, and he was a legend! Movies that are very close to each other it’s passage I’d advise you to choose one. But like I said, they are a myth, therefore, necessarily Turkey’s make your reservation before they leave the den. Apfelstrudel; Yes, Vienna’s world’s gained or another flavor. This is the perfect dessert cafe is a registered. Excellent coffee and sweet varieties, both in Vienna, you’s also 1900’Lu, a historic Cafe that will take years. So, Vienna’s one of the most famous pedestrian streets

Sachertorte; Vienna’s another famous dessert. This chocolate Paradise made famous Café de “Sacher”. Unfortunately I didn’t have time to go to this cafe after spending 8 days. But with all these sweets you can find all the cafés in Vienna for ozdeslestik. So I did and it is really good, I recommend.

Cafe Sperl; immediately before sunrise watching the movie carefully, the audience will remember. It lives a long time a legend that two lovers cafe. Vienna we’s when we went either, first it was here in the cafe we were looking for. Dishes , drinks and desserts very good, but the atmosphere was unspoilt fascinates us. You can reach this place with 3-4 minute walk down in the subway station Museumsquartier.

Cafe Central; maybe Vienna’s most famous restaurants. During the day, mostly in the front we saw that there was a line. Like all the other restaurants, the delicious dessert and coffee is waiting for you. But with a difference, accompanied by a live piano recital!

all this is available in melange cafe named coffee, if like me if you like mild Coffee, you can drink the cup of the cup. I love very much. Wandering away from the buffet corner, you have the possibility even drinking.

similar to a large number of bakery and pastry available in the US. You can make both breakfast and within days, a relatively small place where you can get dessert and coffee and the prices are very reasonable.

places

Yes, now that we know how to feed ourselves, now we can’t finish writing Vienna’s attractions and sights to we can move on. As soon as I say writing, because in each corner magnificent monuments,statues and museums are waiting for you. We start we must.

Vienna; Austria’s largest Summer Palace of the Habsburg dynasty dynasty is referred to as. I think as the house built by Maria Theresa, the garden is also worth a visit.For 16 euros you can visit the inside of the palace with the electronic guide. Both dynastic and famous monuments and lots of information about you can reach the Queen side. Europe in the big garden of the Palace’s one of the oldest zoos. There is an entrance fee. Also available in a grass maze. I would definitely recommend if you have your child with you if you try. The house and garden with gorgeous landscaping and a spectacular work.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) ; Stephansplatz Square, the massive Cathedral. Entry is free but a small fee if you want to go to the top and make a course, you must provide city. Especially I advise to visit all the streets in Stephansplatz square.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral

the Hofburg Palace ; the Winter Palace of the Habsburg dynasty and the main. Covering a large area, especially I recommend to visit the museum inside the Palace Sisi.

Belvedere Palace ; present this palace is a palace which was the Dodger with the success of the Ottoman siege commander. As much as I’m concerned is a spectacular place to Garden. Already Vienna’s also nice to have a garden that you will encounter the most beautiful thing for every house.

Karlskirche , Karl Church ; which you can listen to a classical music concert in Vienna with extraordinary architecture’s also one of the works will not be returned without being seen. There is a beautiful pool in front. As you can see from the picture, especially in the evenings in frontreputation is very pleasant to spend time in. Paid concerts was given by a small group in the immediate area as you can come to coincide with a free concert.

hostel accommodation; is a region which we know is very similar to the field Sunday. Thin, in an area long occupied by shops on both sides, and most of them Turkish field Sunday in the shop of the seller. Vienna’s outside of the usual image is very, very authentic, a current of air. Vienna’s a must-see while you’re in either place.

Vienna’s Art History Museum ; Vienna’s also the name you’ll hear often commissioned by the king Frank Joseph, Vienna’s most visited Museum. I can’t count right now in so many valuable artifacts are located I would recommend a visit to this museum.

Hundertwasser ; Vienna’s partly an apartment in the poor district. It was restored by a famous architect and brought to its present form. By tram it is possible to pass in front.

Stadtpark ; Vienna’s every corner is surrounded by parks, and, I think, among them one of the most beautiful Stadtpark. There is a natural pond. Swans and ducks in the pond are flying freely. So much of the park and the pond to see the ducks flying from one to the other it’s very natural. A duck with the sound of the squirrels running around this park if you want to walk while you don’t don’t pass.

How do I get to?

Vienna’or scheduled aircraft from Vienna airport approximately 2 hours 10 minutes from our country’can be reached by a flight of. From the airport to the city centre, the cat (City airport train) is the so-called round-trip fee of 19 Euro you can reach by taking a ticket. At the same time it is possible to choose the bus, but my advice due to both the comfort and ease, the cat.

In summary, the transportation is very easy in Vienna , not too crowded , chirping in each corner parks , historical monuments , statues , palaces and museums surrounded by a city steeped in art and history.
