juha from Finland wrote about Prater 5 years, 4 months ago
Prater holds a very fun amusement park. All the rides there are pretty expensive but most of them are very cool. If it's summertime and you're in Vienna wondering what to do, then spending the evening at Prater is not a bad choice!
amraam10 from Slovakia wrote about Schönbrunn Palace 5 years, 2 months ago
Awesome palace and must for every culture-hungry visitor in town. If you are not into paying the ticket, the zoo and gardens around are worth seeing as well.

Exactly, I loved the garden. I also visited inside and the ballroom was breathtaking!
api from Finland wrote about Vienna 5 years, 4 months ago
A few of the the WW II anti-aircraft towers are still intact in the city. One of them houses a giant aquarium and several others are popular picnic spots. They are all worth seeing... for archtitectural value, if nothing else.

Chocolate cakes were also unbelievable tasteful! We were there in spring and there weren't many tourist then, so it was quite relaxing. I have heard that in summer the city is really crowded.
jjtravel from Finland wrote about Hotel Sacher Wien 4 years, 10 months ago
In the first floor of this hotel you will find the Café Sacher, a place to buy an Original Sacher-Torte with you. This pricy cake is well worth testing because the taste is something unbelievably delicious. A perfect combination with apricot brandy!
psalmi from Finland wrote about Vienna State Opera 4 years, 10 months ago
Vienna State Opera season starts unfortunately on September and thus we are going to miss the season opening when visiting the place on August.
We are going to try their Dinner and Concert offers instead.

jjtravel from Finland wrote about Karlskirche 4 years, 10 months ago
Karlskirche, an impressive baroque church with an ellipsoid shaped dome and two distinctive columns on sides. Later a large water pool, designed by Henry Moore, is added in front of the church. In the middle of this pool there is his magnificent statue 'Hill Arches'. Indeed an enchanting combination.
jjtravel from Finland wrote about Schönbrunn Palace 4 years, 10 months ago
In Schönbrunn Palace one can see tens of glorious rooms decorated in original style. Huge gardens surrounding the palace are well kept, with harmonious gloriette looming on its highest point.

A huge market area, offering an endless colourful and refreshing escape from the history filled centre of Wien.
psalmi from Finland wrote about Hollmann Beletage Design & Boutique 4 years, 9 months ago
Hotel Hollmann Beletage Design & Boutique was a unique place in the downtown vienna in first district just a few blocks from all major sights.
The atmosphere of this hotel cannot be described in words. Everything is designed to be unique and quite unlike anything I've ever experienced before.
Rooms are quite big (for 2 persons at least). What makes them different is their design. Bath is in a closet-like space behind a desk+bed combination. Minibar is put in an oval shaped table and decoration is finished with a nice sofa.

Breakfast in this hotel is unique, too. Instead of an average breakfast buffet, you'll have your own "mini-buffet", sortiments of cheese, meat (or fish) and vegetables on your own small plate. Contents of the plate changes daily but every day you get also freshly squeezed energy juice, fruit salad, cereals (in a design jars, of course) and a selection different omelettes and desserts.
Fabolous place and best breakfast in any hotel I've ever been.

I didn't like Vienna. I do not know why. The local people wasn't nice. The weather was terrable.

Nice if you collect royal houses.
psalmi from Finland wrote about Vienna 4 years, 2 months ago
Vienna was the fourth stop of our trip, if you count our quick visit to Venice that is. Instead of the normal way of traveling by plane we took the more idyllic option and took a river boat. In just quick six hours we were from Budapest to Vienna and saw a great deal more than you would see from a plane. The bad thing was that it took almost two extra hours because of the dams ans canals in our way.

Minibar is put in an oval shaped table and decoration is finished with a nice sofa. They have cd-player, tv and free lan connection in every room and a small movie theatre with three shows every night. It's only that you need to know some germany before the movies are of use as most of them didn't have any subtitles.
psalmi from Finland wrote about Museumsquartier 4 years, 2 months ago
Museumsquartet in Vienna is the home of numerous museums in one place. We decided to visit MoMA, museum of modern art and Austrias national museum on the other side of the square.
Museums were, as expected, dull as museums get (or disruptive, when it comes to modern art) but most fun we got out the ticket office when trying to buy a cheaper family ticket for just the two of us. Apparently being pregnant doesn't count as family but the clerk pitied us enough to give us the discount anyway.
psalmi replied 4 years, 2 months ago:
The cafe outside MoMA was excellent place for a cup of tea and glass of sparkling wine.
psalmi from Finland wrote about Hollmann Beletage Design & Boutique 4 years, 2 months ago
What is a visit to Vienna without an opera? Nothing it seems as eating a fish sandwich from a street bar proved to be a bad idea. I suffered from a food poisoning and had to stay confined in the hotel quarters for the next 36 hours and was unable to do anything touristy in the city.
nipsu from Finland wrote about Hofburg Imperial Palace 4 years, one month ago
When comparing to Schönbrunn, I liked it more, because there our guided tour had lot of humour and it was more interesting. Still, both palaces are worth seeing...you can only imagine, how was the life in those places hundreds of years ago...
tilkkuliini from Finland wrote about Hundertwasserhaus 4 years, one month ago
Haven't seen anything like that before. I liked especially about those villages that the artist has created. There are funny floors and toilets :D

Wanna go dancing, depends.
- A club you should see is the Flex. It was one of the first underground clubs in Vienna, but by now it is mainstream, but still quite impressive (www.flex.at)
- Also a nice place to go and dance is Club U (www.club-u.at), usually with alternative music (mostly electronic)
- Third recommendation is Ost Klub (www.ost-klub.at) which plays modern music from the east and in general a lot from the 'World' genre.
- Also make sure you dont miss out Arena (www.arena.co.at) since sometimes you get the really good concerts there (speciall in summer, outdoors)

tomazmenic from Slovenia asked a question about Vienna 2 years, 6 months ago
going there for a weekend, what are the top sights to see?
juha replied 2 years, 6 months ago:
Well, it depends on what you like. Schönbrunn Palace I guess is something everyone wants to see in Vienna. It was ok. I enjoyed Praten amusement park the most on my visit. Otherwise I didn't find the city as interesting as I thought before going there.
