Vienna; any recommendations?

[Blue in Munich]

Mrs. BiM has decided I'd like to see Vienna and has generously offered to come with me.

Any recommendations as to what to see, or what not to see whilst we're there?

Sorry it means nothing to me.

Yours and mine HID must be mind melding. If we are going to do it then I will insist on Christmas Market time so I can at least drink and eat while I'm "site seeing".

The best thing I did in Vienna was a day trip to Salzburg.

You probably want to walk over the prater, see the horse school, maybe a carriage ride, and eat lots of Austrian food.

I also have no idea why I am going.

The best thing we did in Vienna was a trip to Bratislava.

Cake shops, history museum, Kunst.......if you like art.

Every museum has a load of fellas outside in period costume and wigs selling tickets to concerts of an evening. We went to one that had an opera singer, a small orchestra etc so was a good evening with a bit of everything. Nice city.

I take that back, we went to the Vienna derby between Austria and Rapid, that was ace.

Me and missis T went a couple of years ago. Loved it. Gorgeous City. Just do the tourist bits and walk walk walk. Have a look on TripAdvisor for restaurants.
Ps. Smoking in bars proper got on our tits though.

I too have been told we're off to Vienna. Apparently we're doing it as a road trip 1600 miles assuming we, sorry I, take the most direct route. I'm hoping to find something glizty/shiney to distract her.

Find a restaurant that is recommended for its Tafelspitz. It’s basically boiled beef in broth, but it’s much better than it sounds.

It would need to be.

Hi

We were there last week for 3 days and really enjoyed it.

Bought a Vienna Pass that saves money on visiting the main attractions; Albertina, Danube Tower, Belvedere museums, The Hofburg Palace, Schonbrunn Palace, Prater ferris wheel, Stephansdom Cathedral, Spanish Riding School etc etc.

Plenty to see - drink/food great, inc Sachertorte cake and Apfelstrudel, plus the street food Wurstands.

I will second a day trip to Bratislava, its about 45 mins ish iirc from the airport and about 50euro in a cab last time i did it, amazing city. I find Vienna a bit sterile...

 

[USER1999]

Yeah, but I am going to Vienna. I don't really want to go there, but I am, and whilst I might prefer Bratislava to Vienna, in reality, I would prefer playing golf in Watford to either of them.

🤔😃

I usually get away with a handful of those old silver milk bottle tops
