Pros: Beautiful city 'voll mit Kultur', excellent food, and friendly people.
Cons: Expensive
I've decided to kick off my trip to Germany, Austria and Eastern Europe with a review of Vienna (or Wien "auf Deutsch".) Wir müssen das Hotel finden! (We have to find the hotel!): Our first real sight of Vienna was attempting to ...

Pros: Beautiful Buildings, great Coffee and cakes.
Cons: More than a tad expensive. Dislike Opera? - Vienna isn't the place to go.
Getting into Vienna involved a pretty easy train journey from Bratislava in Slovakia. The journey takes about 1 hour; they run frequently and get you within striking distance of civilisation. We arrived at the SudBahnhof in Vienna, and then took a 10 ...

Pros: A beautiful, fascinating, historic, cultural masterpiece of a place
Cons: Time is too short!!
I have been captivated, my heart has been captured. Circumstances dictated a change of vacation this summer. So, instead of going to Florida (as usual) we chose a week’s break in Vienna, capital of Austria. This city is a beautiful, fascinating, histo ...

Pros: historical sites, culture, public transport, friendly laid-back city
Cons: only in the eye of the beholder
We stayed in Vienna for two weeks in November 2002. One of us spent a university year in Vienna many moons ago. We are recently retired and travel frequently, trying to time our trips to the off-season. While Vienna started off as an exercise...

Pros: The Austrian culture, architecture, baroque churches and sheer elegance
Cons: Maybe a little quiet for some - not as rocking as London or Madrid
Vienna is one of the legendary cities of the world. It was the centre of one of the greatest and longest living empire's that Europe has ever seen. And reminders of this past greatness are on every street corner and also it is a city poised to take...

Pros: Buildings, Culture, food,
Cons: Price, Too quiet for some,
I visited Vienna last summer for only about a few days so can not offer an exhaustive review of the city. However my experience there leads me to write a review anyway. I have over the last few years visited London, Amsterdam, Dublin and lots of other ...

Pros: Fabulous music, art, architecture, and excellent public transportation. World's best coffee.
Cons: Expensive! (And, if you are overweight, embarrassing.)
Background and Christmas Markets: My wife and I visited Vienna (Wien, in German) for the first time in December-January, 2007-08. I had always wanted to see the Christmas markets in Austria and Bavaria, so we put Vienna as the start and end point of ...

Pros: Beautiful and unique
Cons: None
Without consulting the Psychic Network, I will tell you that I’m 99.9% certain that the floors in your house or apartment are flat. What about the windows? Are they of the same shape? Are they horizontally on the same distance from the floor? Most...

by whitty - Top 500, Aug 28 '00
Pros: very diverse city - much to do and see
Cons: rude people; too many tourists (in the summer)
I have traveled much of Europe, and I have to say that Vienna ("Wien," in German) is not one of my favorite cities. Last summer, I backpacked with a friend through Central Europe for two-weeks. (See my profile for my earlier reviews on Salzburg...

Pros: Very clean
Cons: Too many to list here: see review
I lived in Vienna for a month when I was 13. I thought it was boring and provincial. I revisited twelve years later with an open mind -- and I was disappointed again.
Looking at Vienna today, it was difficult to imagine the hustle-and-bustle...

Pros: You learn so much more history that the textbooks teach you
Cons: with a weaker U.S. dollar it will cost you a bit more.
We recently visited Vienna in June of 2006 and I found this city to be as magical as the Johan Strauss waltzes describe it. It is full of culture and it is a “must” destination for art and opera lovers. It is very cosmopolitan as many ...

Pros: Scale, Pace, Transportation, Art, Architecture, Cleanliness, Desserts
Cons: Not the most cosmopolitan of major European capitals (people-wise), Food (for some)
I am an expat living in Vienna. I approached this city, initially, like most people, as a tourist. Since then, many people have come to here to visit me, and this has afforded the chance to play tour guide. The result is that now, I have more than a...

Pros: Great architecture, Close to center of the city, Gustav Klimt's "The Kiss"
Cons: None.
The Belvedere Palaces are located in the heart of Vienna, Austria. They are within walking distance of the Ring. This elegant palace is one of the masterpieces of Baroque Art, and is a must-see for tourists traveling through Vienna. The Palace was built...

Pros: Palaces, art and dessert
Cons: I could do without the rain
Whenever I go to Vienna, it seems to rain and the days I spent there last summer were positively blustery, cold and wet. Long outdoor strolls were out of the question. Here's what we did:
1) Toured the imperial apartments and the imperial...

Pros: Lots to do
Cons: Bad drivers
Vienna is known as the musical capital of the world thanks to the yields of Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Haydn and many more composers born in this magnificent city.
I usually do not like capital cities because of internationalism and...
