All you need to know about Vienna

Vienna is a charming city which you have to visit at least once in your life. I know I’ll definitely be coming back here sometime in the future. Below you’ll find affordable accommodation, tips on public transport and must see attractions in Vienna to make the most of your trip.

ACCOMMODATION

Affordable appartement in Brigittenau

well connected by tram number 31, Wexstraße and U6 Jägerstraße. The U4 and U2 are walking distance away and the apartment is located near Schottenring.

This fairly new accommodation (since October) is well run and well thought out. The gorgeous room for 4 was a total of a little over 100€ for 4 people for 3 nights. That comes up to only 25€ per person for the entire duration!

TRANSPORTATION

We got an 18€ 7-day pass for Vienna. This was applicable for all trams, underground trains, trains and buses. Trams are the most convenient way to get around. This is just 2€ more than the 16€ 3-day pass. (Fun fact: We never got our tickets checked.)

ATTRACTIONS

Ankeuhr

A gorgeous piece of architecture which is so creative. I could stand here all day and wait for the figures to change along with the time.

Hofburg Palace

We were expecting a bit more than a gate for the Habsburg momento. However there was a fun attraction there where you can have your photo taken and printed on a newspaper. The cost is on a donation basis.

Justiz Palace

Apparently known for it’s architecture. However it only allows 25 people in per hour so we didn’t get a chance to enter.

Parliament

Gorgeous exterior and when you get in past security it’s full of information. There’s a lot of interactive games if you’re interested in getting to know Vienna’s democracy.

MuseumQuartier

I love the vibe of this place! It’s even nice to walk around without entering any museums. You can buy 1.50€ artistically designed postcards, there is another photo booth located here.
