Vienna July 2025
The capital of Austria has a lot to offer and is great for a short get away. Full of history, great food, music and culture you will be spoilt for choice. Don't forget to pop into one of the city's many coffee shops or cafes for the full experience. And why not hop over the Hungarian or Slovakian boarder while your there as Vienna is perfectly located to explore a little further with very minimal effort.
Vienna
Bratislava and Budapest day trip
Good to know
Currency: Euro
Language: German (however English is widely spoken)
Public transport: it's very reliable and you can get a Vienna pass that can cover your travel for 24hrs, 48hrs or 72hrs, which i would recommend people to get as if you use the public transport just 3 times a day you already cover the cost of the pass. Another thing to keep in mind with the public transport is that eating/drinking on it is a finable offence
Food: Some main dishes to try are of course the famous schnitzle and apple strudel. But don't miss out on the goulash, Sachertorte ( a chocolate tore with apricot jam), Wiener Wurstel (Viennese sausage, found at one of the many sausage stands) and Kaiserschmarrn (scrambled pancakes). Also when it comes to food and drink Vienna has a vibrant and lively café scene with many throughout the city that offer great coffee, hot chocolates and sweet treats. A couple of notable cafes are Café Demel and the famous Café Central (just be prepared to quee to get in if you decide to visit)
