City Trip Vienna

Citytrip Vienna – Vienna is the capital of Austria and Wien in German. One of the highlights of Vienna is a visit to the Hofburg, a huge complex with a church, the national library and a number of museums, including the Sisi Museum. The Hofburg was once the imperial palace of the Hapsburg dynasty; today it is the official residence of the President of Austria. His part of the palace is private but the living, working and sleeping quarters of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Sissi are open to visitors. A visit to the Spanish Riding School is a must for horse lovers. Attending a show where horse and rider form a unique combination is a feast for the eyes.

The 18th century Schönbrunn Palace with its beautiful gardens was the summer palace of the Austrian emperors and has been perfectly preserved. It is located well outside the city centre and easy to reach by public transport. The Wiener Prater city park is best known for its Ferris wheel, which has been an attraction for over a hundred years. During your city trip you should try typical Austrian dishes at least once: Wiener schnitzel, thin slice of veal breaded and fried, and Wiener Mélange coffee with hot milk, caster sugar, whipped cream and dark chocolate.
