TIPS FOR you

The Viennese heart in the right place

Handmade souvenirs

Spoilt for choice: there are so many beautiful things to buy in Vienna’s 5th and 6th districts! Perhaps it is best to choose one valuable piece – something homemade, because a lot of hard work and love went into it.

Local brands

Vienna to take home

The Viennese love their traditions. Local brands fill them with pride, especially when they are known internationally. Special souvenirs like this can be found in the heart of the city centre, not far from the Hotel Europa.

Made-to-measure instead of mass production

Manufacturing in Ottakring

Ottakring is also famous for its creative spots. Which is why a few small manufacturing firms have set up their business there and will certainly provide you with a souvenir or two.

Reserve your bench and breathe in history

Places to go in Vienna's inner city

You don’t always have to dash from one place to the next.  There is so much history in Vienna that there is always time for a history lesson on a bench.

Find your favourite place in the park

From park bench to tree trunk

Green areas and parks are the ideal places to get to know the quiet side of Vienna’s inner city. Whether on a picnic blanket or a shady bench, you can really relax in Vienna’s parks.

A quiet spot please!

Lie back and relax

After all your hard work – sightseeing and co – it really is time to find a quiet place to relax. Why not grab a book and make yourself comfortable?

Swap the Giant Ferris Wheel for the green Kaiserwiese

Exchange the fairground for a footpath

The Prater, Vienna’s famous recreation area, can also be quiet and peaceful.  There is nothing to stop you going on a city hike – either with a picnic on the green Kaiserwiese, a walk along the main boulevard through the Prater or a stop in one of the restaurants on the way.
