Staying in Vienna offers a traveler several unique opportunities. As the capital of Austria, it is an amazing city filled with culture and sightseeing. Vienna offers such charming sights as the lavish Terrace Gardens, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Prater Amusement Park and the Schonbrunn Palace- to name a few. Plus, there is always an opportunity to take in an operetta at one of Vienna's elegant concert halls. Vienna is only one small part of Austria and an even smaller part of Europe, but it can act as a springboard to other fascinating sights and locations.
Side trips are available to many of the places people have dreamed of seeing.
You can explore these wonderful cities while staying in beautiful Vienna. Perhaps a Hadyn Matinee at Palais Esterhazy would be of interest. You can always visit the stork village of Rust and take an afternoon boat ride on Lake Neusiedl. You can take a day trip there and see the amazing scenery that is full of history and legends. A visit to Krems, the abbey at Melk and Durnstein are just a few of the things Wachau has to offer.
