Vienna is full of history and old world charm. There is so much to see and do in Vienna.
An absolute must see is the Schonbrunn Palace, the former summer home of the imperial family. This palace and its grounds are absolutely stunning.
There are many tours you can take in Vienna and as we always suggest when arriving in a new city a good way to get your bearings is on a Hop On & Off bus tour. Get a feel for the layout of the city. The Rathaus in Vienna was taken over by the German Army as was the rest of the city.
The parks in Vienna have statues of Strauss commemorating the master.
Shopping is very good in Vienna, and if you can find the time you will be spoilt for choice. The Spanish Riding School is famous the world over and well worth seeing.
The coffee shops and patisseries are just waiting to serve you with the delights of the day. After all your sightseeing in Vienna you will look forward to resting your feet and having a coffee & sachertorte, and watch the world go by from the window of the world famous coffee houses. This is a way of life for the Viennese anytime of the day you will find the coffee houses crowded.
