General presentation

Vienne

Imperial capital around the Ring, palaces, large museums, historic cafes, classic neighborhoods and banks of the Danube.

The discovery of Vienna revolves around Schönbrunn, Cathedral of St Stephen and Belvedere. The stay thus alternates between the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

See all

For a stay of 3 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: extensive city and numerous museums to prioritize. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting

A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.

World Heritage

Ligne de chemin de fer de Semmering

4.8 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

The Semmering line crosses the mountains south of Vienna by a succession of viaducts, tunnels and curves that embrace the relief. It can be understood both from the train and from the nearby trails, where the stone arches are seen crossing ravines and forests over the old resorts.

Remarkable location

Baden

4.6 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Baden, near Vienna, is a town with its Biedermeier facades, well-kept parks and well-known thermal springs. The alleys of the centre, the Kurpark and the nearby wine hills make it an easy exit from the capital, softer and greener than monumental.

Remarkable location

Bad Vöslau

4.5 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs

Bad Vöslau combines thermal tradition, resort villas and vineyards at the gates of Wienerwald. The city is especially appreciated for its baths, cellars and walks to the hills, in an atmosphere of small Austrian resort rather than large tourist center.

Palace

Schönbrunn

4.8 / 5· Hidengo2.30-5 a.m.

Schönbrunn concentrates the imperial image of Vienna with its lounges, gardens, perspectives and hills. The visit gives a good reading of the capital outside the old center, between court architecture and large accessible park.
