Historic grandeur by the Danube

Nestled on the Danube riverside, Vienna City holidays are beyond beautiful. Historically, it’s where a few talented individuals you might have heard of such as Mozart and Beethoven once resided. Today, the ever-popular Vienna Philharmonic keeps the city's musical heart beating. A picture of elegance, and boasting architecture spanning over 1000 years, the grand buildings that line the cobbled streets provide the perfect backdrop for shopping, sightseeing and romance. Austria’s heritage is shown best at Schönbrunn Palace. The sculpted gardens are the main attraction with gardens, fountains, vineyards and even a maze to explore. The palace may have been built as a summer residence, but winter travellers don’t miss out, as the Christmas market provides oodles of festive cheer. Pair with a glass of mulled wine and some Christmas gift shopping for the ultimate Vienna City break.
