In Vienna there is something to do for everyone. No matter if you like art, movies, music, architecture, food, partying, you will find events that cater to your interests every day. I especially recommend visiting the state opera one night: you can buy standing tickets last minute for 10€. Vienna is generall a very safe city, so it's no problem to walk around at all hours of the day. Foodwise Austria is a bit bland. Vienna has a deeply rooted "Kaffehaus" culture. To have a traditional experience I would recommend visiting Cafe Landtmann.

The infrastructure of the city is a top tier and very convenient to get around. Schoenbrunn zoo and palace is a must to see even in the cold months. You may enjoy the Christmas market in front of it as well for a cup of mulled whine. The best market for me was this in front of the Rathaus - food was the best and it is a lot bigger than the others. Cafe Central is another place you might want to visit for a breakfast/brunch - it is worth the hype. There are hotels budget friendly and close to the center in the same time. It is possible to do Vienna on a budget just decide what do you want to do and focus on that. For us were the Christmas markets and mulled wine hehe. For a restaurant we went to Centimeter ll - the schnitzel there was delicious. It is generally safe. Use common sense and be aware of your surroundings. Vienna in the winter is beautiful and worth the cold weather to see it!

I went in May and I loved it. I stuck to the free/discounted attractions for the most part but the city was pretty easy to navigate, safe and I thought it was beautiful.

I didn’t like Vienna much. It felt underwhelming and not that beautiful, the food wasn’t great, it was expensive, and the only things to really do there were going to museums (which were also expensive). That being said, I did enjoy the museums I went to. They were just annoyingly expensive compared to other museums I went to in Europe.

The Naschmarkt was my absolute favorite part of Vienna. It’s this amazing open-air market that sells food, spices, candied fruit, and all sorts of stuff. My favorite meal in Vienna was from there. Goulash from one of the restaurants. I also loved walking by the river. Lovely place to wander.

I lived in Vienna for 2 years (between 2019 and 2021) and I absolutely LOVED it! There is so much to do, everywhere is just so beautiful, and the prices are very fair, I found it cheaper than other European capitals :) Always recommend it to everyone, as it still seems like a „underrated” place!

Vienna is an awesome and beautiful city. I really liked the Freud Museum, Belvedere Palace, and Schonbrunn Palace. I felt very safe.

I really enjoyed my time in Vienna. One of my favorite cities I’ve been to. I especially enjoyed the rich history, culture, the museums like the Sisi Museum, Belvedere Palace, and getting to see the Schonbrunn Palace.

I absolutely loved Vienna. It was very walkable and exceptionally clean. The food was good. It was easy to feel like a local and didn’t run into any tourist traps or anything. I loved it. So beautiful with a rich history.

I will definitely recommend this place. I loved the nightlife and the people are also super friendly. I would recommend the pratum, kaiserchman and the wiener schnitzel.

About me
I am a content creator and translator who works in English, Mandarin Chinese and German. I have spent 6 years in China working for English-language media. Now I have returned to Vienna, where I originally studied. With parents from the UK and Germany, I am fascinated by the subjects of cross-cultural exchange and cultural identity, especially in a location as multi-faceted and different from my own as China’s.

About me
Hello 🙂 I am Merle (hard to pronounce in English I know), I would describe myself as an open, relaxed and independent person and as of right now, I'm 22 years old (but soon 23 years old) and studying psychology at the University of Melbourne. Besides studying I love to read, I'm a passionate music fan (so from punk to indie and rap to Christian choir, I can be enthusiastic about almost anything, but do not worry I own and use headphones) and accordingly often go to concerts. The latest thing I'm into is sewing and watching too much YouTube, plus cooking (my friends call me the sauce master). Besides that, I'm a huge fan of going out, delicious brunches, hiking, discussions and simply having a good time and pleasant talks.

I'll be traveling to Vienna soon and I have an extra day. I am trying to decide if I should go on a day trip to Salzburg or Bratislava. Any recommendations on which is better? Also, is it worth it to go on a guided tour or just explore on my own?
Posted: October 21, 2022TravelWhat's been your experience in Vienna?
Hi ladies, I'm considering visiting Vienna for a few nights in August, but I have had several people advise me to skip Vienna in favor of another city. What's been your experience in Vienna? Definitely doing Budapest and Prague for about 4 nights each, but I have time in between to visit another city for about 3 nights. Recommendations are greatly appreciated!
