Vienna Flights - OnlineTravelComparison
Vienna, the capital of Austria, is a city of culture, art, music, and love. It city center, officially called the Historic Centre of Vienna, was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. It was the home of big names in music - Beethoven, Mozart, and Johann Strauss.
Being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Austria, the government of Vienna made sure that the city can be reached and navigated through as many options as possible. Thus, it is serviced by the Vienna International Airport, by train (the city is a railroad hub), by bus or tram, by car, and by boat. Still, boating on the Danube has little transport value except sightseeing but even this is not recommended as the canal tours offer an unappealing view of industrial buildings and trees.
Tourists who want to see how Vienna looks from an elevation of 150 meters have to visit the Danube Tower or Donauturm which stands at 252 meters high; the tower features an observation deck and 2 revolving restaurants (360 degrees). Other very popular attractions are the Riesenrad or Vienna's Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater, Türkenschanzpark which is a park, Schloss Schönbrunn, St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom), the 2 palaces-turned-museums called the Belvedere Palaces, Haus des Meeres Aquarium Zoo, and Vienna Opera House (Wiener Staatsoper).
Some of the restaurants in Vienna are as famous of the attractions that the city holds - some examples are the Heuriger which is a wine estate, Demel Konditorei which had once been (and continues hold the title of) the Imperial and Royal Court Confectionary Bakery, Pizza Bizi, and Drei Husaren. Some of the shopping malls are tourist attractions themselves - these include the Mariahilfer Straße which is the largest in the country, Naschmarkt with Flea Market, and Kohlmarkt which has exclusive boutiques and high-end stores.
