Flights to Vienna

Planes would fly to Vienna in the rhythm of waltz, if they could. In this city, it seems, there should always be some music in the background, because among many city symbols there are such names as A. Mozart, L. van Beethoven, J. Strauss, and others. The capital also has plenty of impressive architecture objects, picturesque panoramic views, wonderfully delicious dishes, and museums.

How to travel?

Vienna welcomes its guests at the country’s biggest airport. It was named the best airport in Europe in 2008. The distance from the airport to the city is 18 kilometres, but this distance can be easily overcome by using a bus or a train.

Buses are an important part of Vienna’s public transport. Inner city travels by trams are also available. It is worth knowing that the capital city is divided into sections, and a single ticket is valid in one single section only. If you’re spending just a few days in this elegant city, single tickets are the best, however, if you’re staying for longer, consider purchasing a public transportation card.

What to taste?

Vienna’s menus consist of the most delicious European dishes. Choose wheat flour rolls, croissants, and the Kaiser’s omelette for an Austrian breakfast. We recommend ordering some juicy Vienna sausages, Salzburg meatballs with exquisite sauce, goulash, or steamed calf liver for dinner.

For a dessert or after supper, look for some quality sweets. Europe is losing its mind for Danish Sachertorte that melts in your mouth, apple and peach strudel, and various pastries and puddings. Pair these meals with some Glintwine, white wine, or beer. If you’re visiting Vienna in winter, try some Jagatee – a great, warming drink made from tea, rum, and vodka.

What to see?

Vienna is a city that has almost 100 museums. Aristocratic history of the capital city is best observed in gorgeous palaces of Hofburg, Belvedere, and Schonbrunn. Here you will find an array of art and architecture museums. Also worth paying a visit to is the Vienna Museumsquartier.

St. Stephen’s Cathedral is an especially gracious and majestic city symbol. Certainly indulge in seeing the city from a panoramic viewpoint at the cathedral’s northern tower. Visit the neo-renaissance Vienna Opera House, where huge charity balls often take place.

What to do?

Even if you’re planning for cheap flights as a way to come to Vienna, do not forget to get some return-gifts. You can find those at the fairs that are often organised in the town hall square. The time you spend will be more meaningful, if you visit the “Aqua Terra Zoo” museum, and you’ll get your daily adrenalin dose at the “Time travel” cinema, or “Prater” amusement park. We recommend resting at the fantastic Oberla thermal springs complex. If you crave for more adventures, don’t hesitate to ask for some advice from hotel workers. Vienna travel information specialists are often named the best in Europe.
