TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Here are our top three travel tips when visiting Vienna:
1) Consider a walking tour to really get the most out of your trip to Vienna. Or why not create one of your own via your Vienna Pinboard? Make sure you start your city exploration with Vienna’s 9th district where you can gaze upon the beautiful art-deco and art nouveau architecture. Use the ‘See & Do’ section of your Pinboard to plot all the top places to visit in your travel itinerary.
2) Fuel your trip itinerary with caffeine - Vienna is one of the best places for coffee-culture and there’s endless options to enjoy a coffee pitstop or to grab one on the go before you head to your next museum, gallery or architectural masterpiece.
At the heart of Vienna’s coffee-house culture is Café Sperl, which is conveniently close to the vibrant food market. Not only does it look beautiful, the coffee and Sachertorte are really something else. You can even relax with a book or play a game of billiards too!
Pop this captivating cafe on to your travel planner via the ‘Eat & Drink’ section of your Pinboard.
3) Vienna is a very compact city and it’s super easy to walk around. However, you can buy a ticket that will get you unlimited access on all modes of transportation (buses, trams and trains).
