Vienna: information about the way to and from the airport

Vienna’s role as the main seat of the Habsburg Empire is mirrored in the architectural variety of magnificent buildings and palaces. It’s worth having a stroll through the park at Schönbrunn Palace and visiting St Stephen’s Cathedral. Why not enjoy a ride through the city in a horse-drawn carriage too? Vienna’s famous cafés invite you to linger and relax and in the evening see a play at the Burgtheater. Tip: one of Vienna’s loveliest markets is the Naschmarkt with its fruit and vegetable stands, shops and restaurants.
