6 Hotels and Resorts in Vienna

Vienna is known for many things, which include its impressive architecture, the history behind the walls of its many palaces and gardens, and its rich musical legacy.

When visiting Vienna, you’ll see many landmarks as you walk or cycle around the city.

With buildings you can’t miss, such as the Hofburg Imperial Palace, where the Austrian imperial family resided in, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, one of Austria’s most important churches, and the Belvedere Palace, which we recommend visiting to admire its sculptures and paintings.

Don’t miss out on the incredible parks that are spread out all around the city that are perfect to explore on warm days.

We recommend hiring a guide who will explain the history of the city’s historical landmarks, such as the Neo-Gothic Town Hall or the Kunsthistorisches Museum.

Many of the most important classical composers were born or lived in Vienna throughout history. We strongly advise you, if you have the opportunity, to attend one of the incredible opera performances.

Vienna is traversed by the Danube River. This means that on warm summer days, you’ll be able to practice some water activities.

Vienna’s weather has two main seasons: summers with temperatures that go up to 26ºC, making it perfect to go around the city, and very cold winters with temperatures often dropping below 0ºC.

Even though it is very cold in the winter, we still recommend coming to Vienna during this time of the year and to see the Christmas markets, festive decorations and even go ice skating.

One of the most famous dishes in Vienna, often considered Austria’s national dish, is the wiener schnitzel, a breaded and fried veal fillet. You will find it easily throughout the city.

Vienna has a rich pastry tradition so, when visiting, be sure to try the apfelstrudel for dessert after eating a traditional Tafelspitz or Beuschel dish.

Many travellers fly into Vienna International Airport (VIE). From there, since located outside the city, you will have to take the City Airport Train (CAT), which departs every 30 minutes, the Austrian Federal Railways or bus to get into your hotel in Vienna.

Vienna also enjoys many connections by train with other neighbouring countries, as it’s located in the heart of Europe.

Vienna’s public transportation system is incredibly dependable and well-maintained. Taking the U-Bahn (metro), S-Bahn (train) or bus will help you get around the city from your accommodation in Vienna to its most emblematic landmarks of the city. However, Vienna is particularly known for its extensive tram network, which is perhaps the most frequent form of transportation in the city.

A great way to get to know Vienna on a sunny day is to rent a bicycle and tour the city, which has many lanes dedicated to cyclists.
