Vienna, Capital of Splendor and Music – Places to Visit in Vienna

We met on a cold winter day, early in the morning, when the streets were empty. Vienna With its majestic buildings and tidy streets, as it moves towards the hotel on the empty streets of February morning. Vienna places to visit As I was browsing the list, I thought “it looks like it was hand-drawn”. As a matter of fact, it didn't take me long to realize how real this feeling was with its buildings, which are true architectural and artistic wonders. So much so that it has already been taken under protection. “RingThe inner city of Vienna, called ” UNESCO world cultural heritageis located in.

Vienna, the capital of Austria, was one of the cities I was curious about in Europe. They call themselves "City of Music" on the source sites you will go to for information about the city. A European capital that melts romance, nostalgia and modernism at the same time. If you want to get first-hand information about the city, you can review the following sites. www.vienna.info / www.wien.info (they are both going to the same page anyway).

Getting around Vienna's old town is pretty easy. It is possible to get around the ring with trams numbered 1 and 2, hop-on-hop-off or on foot. Of course, this was my choice as I am one of those who likes to travel on foot. I walked around this magical city step by step in a big circle.

It is of course possible to spice up your trip by tasting Vienna's famous coffees, watching their chocolates and cakes, and of course tasting them. Although Vienna is famous for its cafes, I can't help but mention that only Starbucks are open for breakfast or a coffee in the early hours of the morning. It's like life starts a little late and ends early in this city.

The best part of visiting Vienna in winter is the huge ice rinks set up in the squares. Children, children, young and old, all Vienna glides on the ice forming a colorful painting. Although locals come with their own supplies ice skate For those who want to try, there is also the option of renting materials. Ice skating in Vienna is a family activity.

The city is so full of art, so poetic. All the billboards, wherever you can see it, you see a poster of a concert or art event. Among the cities I visited, Vienna was the most intertwined with art.

Vienna is a city of art that refreshes you with its wide park areas and wide roads. An unhurried, uncompressed city…

4 Ways to See Vienna from Above

I've rounded up a few ways to view Vienna from above. You can write your additions as comments.

1. The first is to climb the Bell Tower of St. Stephen's Cathedral, which has become the symbol of Vienna.
2. The second way is to ride the giant Ferris wheel in the Prater. If you're afraid of heights like me, it's scary to go out on both, and it's as fun as it is scary.
3. In the area between the Old and New Danube, the Danube Tower (Donauturm), in the middle of the park next to the United Nations headquarters, has a pleasant city view with its 150 m-high observation terrace and its constantly rotating cafe.
4. You can sip your coffee with a magnificent view in Kahlenberg, on the top of the vineyards in the 19th district.

When to go to Vienna

Vienna was very pleasant in winter with its ice rinks that animate the city under the snow. But I would love to see Vienna once in the spring, when all those gardens are green and blooming, and once in vintage time.

If Europe is one of your favorite travel routes, I guarantee you will like Vienna very much.
Do not leave this world without eating sausage and schnitzel, tasting their coffee and wine 🙂
