The Classical Charm of Vienna

Situated on one of Europe's greatest rivers - the Danube - Vienna offers a range of attractions that are worth discovering. Vienna has become world known for its musical history, being home of the greatest composers of all time.


Situated amidst the shops and museums of Vienna are the Wurstelstande or sausage stands as they are typically known to the locals. Fairly inexpensive to buy, you will find a varied range of sausages that are prepared by the locals and offer an opportunity to take a bite out of Austria's culinary culture during those long sight-seeing walks around the city.

No matter hoSituatedw young or old you are, the zoo is an exciting visit for all and the Tiergarten Schonbrunn is the oldest zoo in the world, constructed in 1752. Situated within the park range of the famous Schonbrunn Palace, it is one of the few zoos worldwide to have giant pandas as residents.

After you rent a room in hotel Vienna Danube, take a further look around Vienna and you will discover the grand architecture on display throughout the city, with architecture taking inspiration from Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque periods, as well as modern architecture and Art Decco styling. Some of Vienna's buildings rank among the best known examples of Art Decco in the world; among them are The Secession building and the Kirche am Steinhof. Meanwhile, one of Vienna's most popular attractions, the Hundertwasserhaus, have been designed to counteract the clinical, sterile look of Vienna's modern architecture and features uneven floors and a roof covered with earth and grass, while large trees adorn the rooms.

Such is the beauty of Vienna, that it attracts thousands of visitors every year, and as expected, hotels in Vienna are often busy with tourists looking to sample the culture and romanticism which the city's offering.
