The Enchanting Capital of Austria

Do not forget to visit the famous opera house, where you can listen to the works of the great Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But Vienna is known not only for Viennese waltz and opera. The capital of Austria attracts crowds of tourists from all over the world with its cuisine, history, architectural structures, and, of course, shopping. In addition, Austria has ski resorts, making it attractive for alpine skiers and simply lovers of riding down snowy mountain slopes.

If you are tired of the noise, constant rush, and fast pace of everyday life in a big city, then in Vienna you can relax in peace and quiet, take your time, and simply stroll along the main boulevard – the Ringstrasse – and enjoy the taste of Viennese coffee.

Lovers of fine arts can visit art galleries and appreciate the works of painters Rembrandt and Bruegel. You can also book a tour and take an educational trip to the most famous sights of the Austrian capital. A professional guide in Vienna will help you organize a custom individual or group excursion around the Austrian capital with visits to the most famous attractions.

Mariahilfer and Kohlmarkt streets are a favorite spot for shopping enthusiasts. Here you will find a huge selection of various goods in boutiques or stores for every taste and budget.

The capital of Austria has many interesting and unusual museums – such as the museum of viticulture, the weapons museum, and the theater museum. And on Friday before noon, you can even visit some museums for free. The symbol of Vienna is St. Stephen's Cathedral, which is also open for tours.

To reduce transport costs, you can purchase a Vienna transport card. However, if you plan to stay in Vienna for no more than two days, it is worth buying single-trip tickets, which are sold in the metro. Thus, if you come to Vienna for 7 days or include a Friday, you can spend much less money on transport and excursions.

Tired from sightseeing, you can relax in cozy Viennese cafes, try the most delicious Viennese coffee, which can be prepared in fifty ways, and also taste Viennese strudel. Drink some cold water after coffee, and you will refresh your taste receptors for new sensations!

From the majestic St. Stephen's Cathedral or from Heldenplatz square, fiacres – carriages drawn by two horses – are available. Fiacres are a peculiar feature of Vienna. The drivers of such fiacres, fiacre drivers, are rightfully considered the best guides to the historical sites of Vienna. You will learn many fascinating stories and incidents that happened in this wonderful city of Austria.

Not only adults will find Vienna interesting, but also children. After all, here is the oldest zoo in Europe, built by the emperor for personal use. Also, adults with children can visit the aquarium or an amusement park. In addition, museums organize special children's tours for kids.
