Stroll through Vienna’s historical old town
Most of the Old Town in Vienna is a pedestrian zone which makes it very easy and comfortable to get around.

The most interesting thing definitely is the architecture and the buildings from another century! But be sure to not miss the St. Peter’s Basilica.

Visit the Spanish Riding School
If there is something having a lot of tradition in Vienna, then it’s the Spanish Riding School for sure!

But this time, it’s not enough to admire the building – get a ticket for one of the shows or the morning work with the Lipizzaner horses!

Admire the National Library and the Parliament
The National Library of Austria is located inside a palatial building. If you are curious about more, it is accessible for the public!

Have some fun at Prater
Prater is the name of a very famous amusement park in Vienna. Always open, there is no entrance fee you have to pay.
But if you want to have a ride, then you have to pay a small fee, depending on the ride, between 1.50 and 5 Euro. So go out there, discover and have fun!
