As your travel agent, I recommend preparing for your Vienna adventure with some insightful reading and guides.

For travel guidance, the Lonely Planet Vienna City Guide is an excellent and practical resource. If you’re interested in Austrian cuisine and café culture, “Vienna: Coffee and Culture” by Judith E. Miller offers a delightful exploration. Enjoy your trip and immerse yourself in Vienna’s captivating blend of tradition and modernity!

About the destination

Vienna is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Austria. It's a beautiful romantic city and it's well-known for its coffee culture and cafes, classical music and concert halls, historical buildings, horse-drawn carriages, and its charming streets. There's a rich cultural diversity in Vienna, and its location right at the heart of Europe makes it a great starting point for travelling around Europe. Vienna is an impressive city to visit, the city is dominated by the Ringstrasse, a four kilometer long boulevard which encircles the city centre. The city is filled with modern conveniences and attractions but also has reminders of a great historical and cultural heritage. Excellent museums, palaces, gardens, architectural triumphs, remnants of ancient inhabitants, statuary, and grand cafes blend with trendy shops, excellent restaurants, accessible musical venues, modern museums and sculpture, and upscale hotels to make Vienna very attractive. The extensive pedestrianised streets of the old city are a delight, lined by beautiful old buildings, populated by the young and old, filled with local shops, boutiques and cafes, and with the unexpected around every corner. The city centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vienna is history and music, poetry and culture, modernism and tradition, nostalgia and grandeur.
