What's Vienna Like?

As befitting a city with Vienna's history, there is an almost impossible number of must-see spots. It may well be best to start with the majestic Schönbrunn Palace, the former home of the ruling Habsburg family that once dictated so much of Europe's political affairs. St. Stephen's Cathedral, which dates to the 12th century, is one of the most iconic images of Vienna, and houses the tombs of many of central Europe's most prominent rulers and nobles. For those who prefer their history to be combined with art, Belvedere Palace is not only an architectural marvel of its own, but also houses a wide variety of masterpieces, including the works of Gustav Klimt. Vienna's Ringstrasse is home to many of the city's most striking sights, such as the Burgtheater and City Hall, as well as both the Museum for Applied Art and the Natural History Museum. There is almost too much to see in one trip - but from the top of the Danube Tower, you can at least get a birds-eye glimpse of most of the city. And with a little help from Hotels.com's selection of Vienna hotels, it's easier than ever to make the most of your stay!

Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Vienna

Practically the center of Europe for much of the last millennium, Vienna is open and welcoming to visitors, and accommodations in Vienna are comfortable. The public transportation network is excellent and easily affordable thanks to the Vienna Card, which also allows for tourist discounts at some locations. English and German are both commonplace, and while the dialect of German found in Vienna is a bit different than both the rest of Austria and the rest of the German-speaking sphere, the differences are small enough to make it easy to get by. The city has an excellent music tradition, both classical and modern. For the former, the Vienna Philharmonic and its home at the Musikverein are worth taking in, and for the latter, Vienna's thriving club and electronic scene are ubiquitous. Local flavor is always ever-present at the Naschmarkt; goulash and schnitzel are local favorites, but there's something for every taste and preference in one corner of Vienna or another. Whatever it is you are looking for, Vienna has it, and with Hotels.com's selection of Vienna hotels it's easier than ever to explore this truly staggering city.
