Holidays in
Vienna

Austria’s grand capital city

Vienna’s elegant and opulent architecture reflects the city as a whole. And, while its incredible Baroque buildings are undeniably impressive at first glance, you’ll find further delights when you dig a little deeper. Austria’s capital is not just a visual wonder, it’s also a cultural heavyweight, with world-class art, music and literary history to enhance all Vienna holidays. There are enough places to eat and drink to keep everyone happy – from lively bars to laid-back restaurants where families with children can have a relaxed dining experience.

Don’t forget to stop off at one (or several) of the city’s elegant cafés or coffeehouses. These beautiful venues have long attracted the world’s great and good, and sipping coffee and eating a delicious slice of strudel under one of the café’s beautiful domed roofs is a must on a visit to Vienna. Best of all, everything is within easy reach, thanks to the compact nature of the city centre and its accessible public transport network. This means visitors are free to focus on which historical marvel to admire next, or simply which hotspot to stop off and snack at. A true grande dame of a destination, holidays to Vienna never disappoint.
