Why travel to Vienna?

by Jonathan Asher on January 15, 2010

One of Europe’s most intriguing and historically rich cities, Vienna, sits in a central position that gives travelers easy access to Eastern and Western Europe. It is home to some truly awesome architectural design such as the gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the modern Haas House. Vienna and its surrounds have enough for you to do and see to occupy you for a few days or a few weeks.

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.

What would travel be without trying the local fare – Wiener schnitzel, Sachertorte, strudel, sausages and kebabs are just some of the foods that Vienna has to offer. Vienna also has a strong coffee and caf culture where guests are welcome to stay as long as they like and read the paper.

There is so much to see in Vienna, that you will want to do your research before you go. Should you spend your time at the Schnbrunn Palace, The Vienna Opera House, Vienna’s MUMOK or St. Stephen’s Cathedral. If time permits, hopefully you will see them all, however a travel guide will give you insight into these locations and hopefully give you an idea if they fit your style or not.

Europe on a Shoestring (Lonely Planet Shoestring Guides) is a well-used travel guide but for a guide that goes into more depth take a look at The Rough Guide to Vienna – it’s the newest, and most popular Vienna guide book. The Moleskine Vienna Notebook is a pocket-sized travel guide that is also very well-liked.

For more information about Vienna check out the Vienna travel guide first and then take a look at the travelling Europe guide.
