It’s the city that Princess Sissy adored and it isn’t other than the imposing and beautiful Vienna! The city is immense with lush parks, few cars on the streets, while museums, palaces and sights are some of the endless things you can see and do in Vienna. Here are five top reasons to visit it and surely you won’t regret it!!
Food, entertainment and culture!
A main reason to visit Vienna is its numerous cafes, each of which offers a unique style and flavors. Since 1685, when the first cafe opened, until today, the cafes are considered great meeting places by the locals to discuss and make acquaintances. If you find one of the authentic Viennese cafes, you should definitely not forget to accompany your coffee with a piece of Sacher Torte. A second reason is the numerous museums. Vienna is home to some of the most important museums and galleries in the world. In the 7th District, you can find an area of 60,000 square meters, the Museumsquartier, to enjoy in tranquility. There, you’ll find the famous Belvedere Palace and the Austrian Gallery. Do you like biking? The Ringstrasse, a main boulevard that surrounds Vienna’s oldest center, offers the ideal bike path to get to know the city on a bicycle. Another path is the Vienna River Route which starts at Lainzer Tiergarten and ends at Schönbrunn Palace. Another reason to visit Vienna is that it’s considered one of the most vivacious cities in Europe, while also it has many lush parks. There are over 2,000 parks in Vienna, small, medium and large which are full of trees, greenery and flowers. One of the favorites of the locals is Standspark. Finally, there is the Christmas shopping! Christmas is a great time to visit Vienna, as every corner of the city is beautifully decorated and the Christmas markets create the perfect atmosphere! The main streets of Graben, Kohlmarkt and Kärntner Strasse are beautifully decorated with lights, while the Christmas markets- with the most famous one being that in front of City Hall- steal every year the attention of the travelers!
