Vienna's Most Favoured Tourist Attractions

Vienna stands out among other European tourist destinations for being a "new old city", combining features of older “picture cities' like Florence and Venice along with the more global spirit of Paris and London. In this article, I will help you make a list of the most appreciated tourist attractions in the Austrian capital.



The luxurious hotels in Vienna are always ready to provide you with experienced guides for the most magnificent tours of Vienna. The top places to visit are the Schonbrunn Palace along with the world's oldest public zoo (with tropical and desert exhibits in the greenhouse) and the ferris wheel in the Prater – these symbols of Vienna are major European tourist attractions.

Arguably the best reason to see Vienna is the culture of the city. The museums here are true rteasuries: the Hofburg palace with the imperial apartments, crown jewels and burial vault; the art museums - Castle Belvedere, Albertina, Kunsthistorisches Museum, Leopld Museum, museum of international modern art, Museum of contemporary applied arts and KunsthausWien; Museum of natural history; Museum of technology; Haus der Music; Military history museum and many others.

The whole picture of the Viennese grandeur wouldn't be finished without mentioning the monumental cathedrals – St. Stephen's Cathedral and Karlskirche. Other places of splendour, fine arts and entertainment are the State Opera, the Parliament building, the national Library, Mozart's residence and the public aquarium. Don't miss the classic dressage show of the Spanish Riding School and also to enjoy the panoramic view on the observation deck of the highest structure in Vienna - the Donauturm.

All these attractions are centred in a city of great urban planning, clean streets, fine shopping areas and aristocratic cafes. Make sure that your place of residence is worthy of Vienna's beauty and choose Hotel Vienna Danube.
