Next Time: Vienna

In the last week of October this year I was fortunate enough to step foot in Vienna on my way back home to the states and spend about 24 hours seeing the city.

This was a last minute addition I really had to make because when I originally looked at return tickets from Santorini in Greece the price was about $2500!

So, I got crafty (again) and booked a one way fight to Vienna for about $100, then a one way flight to Amsterdam for another $130 and then a one way ticket home for about $500.

Much better! And even some extra destinations along the way :p

So, feeling proud of myself at this airline wizerdry, I was thrilled to be there and get to spend a little but longer in this dream world of fantasy I had created haha

Being there only a day, there is far more I didn’t see then anything and from what I did see, I am set on going back and seeing the rest!

What follows is the list I have started of these things, at least those I know about already, and some of the great things I have to do again.

Enjoy 🙂

Eat & Drink: 

-Go to a Viennese coffee house, get a Melange with sachetorte, which is the topical dessert

-Get a warm Apple strudel & coffee (do it again!)

-Go to Cafe zentral -Get a kasekrainer on the wurstelstand or sausage stand (Do it again! One of my very favorite things)

-Get dinner at a traditional Viennese restaurant and try a schnitzel with potato salad. Figlmüller is a good one.

-Try Ulrich for a more trendy place for dinner. It may look a little far but it is really walking distance from the center.

-End the night with a drink at Dachboden at the top of the 25 hours hotel


To Do: -Walk around the first district, which is the center surrounded by ‘the ring’.

-See the park in front of hofburg palace and stephanplatz.

-Check out the gardens at Belvedere palace

-Go inside the State Opera building

-Walk down the shopping streets near the state opera (Do it again! Go earlier than 6pm to actually go in some of the stores)

-Michaelerplatz

-Badeschiff: a canal boat club with a swimming pool on the upper deck. Badeschiff, Donaukanal, Vienna, Austria, +43 660 3124703

-Porgy & Bess Jazz Club Vienna doesn’t just do classical music, so if you’re looking for something with a bit more swing and cabaret character look no further than Porgy & Bess. It may take some time to find, hidden in the little city alleyways, but once discovered it’s sure to be a favorite. Immerse yourself in the hazy, alternative music scene evocative of the prohibition era and join a buzzing crowd to party the night away. Porgy & Bess Jazz Club, Riemergasse 11, Vienna, Austria, +43 1 5128811
