DK Travel : Vienna

Splendid edifices, magnificent palaces and imposing churches spanning the centuries all make Vienna a wonderful city to visit, oozing both charm and atmosphere. Although its imperial grandeur can still be felt, this city of music has more to offer than just its glorious past; contemporary architecture, a brimming cultural scene and a vibrant nightlife add to its appeal. No matter how many times you return, you will always discover something new.

Capricorno

This 4-star hotel offers a discount for children between seven and twelve years; kids up to six stay free.
Carlton Opera

Located on the edge of the centre, the Carlton Opera is an ideal starting point for exploring the city. Karlskirche is just around the corner and the Museumsquartier is nearby. The 57 rooms have tea- and coffee-making facilities. Apartments with a kitchen and family rooms are also available.
Charlie P’s

One of the many Irish pubs dotted around the city, Charlie P’s has a particularly lively atmosphere. An essential part of the traditional menu is fish and chips and a pint of Guinness.
Chelsea

Christ

This family has been producing wine for 400 years and has been among the top Viennese wine producers several times, winning both national and international awards. The Heurigen is a cosy, traditional place and, in summer, the garden, overgrown with vines, is a peaceful retreat. Christ serves the traditional Heurigen food with seasonal variations such as asparagus, mushroom or game dishes.
Christina

The Christina is located right in the heart of Vienna between Stephansplatz and Schwedenplatz with all the famous landmarks within walking distance. The rooms are spread over seven floors and all of them have a direct-dial phone, a TV and a minibar.
Christmas Day

A holy day when people attend church and visit their families. Christmas dinner is traditionally carp or goose.
Christmas Eve

The most important day of the celebrations as families gather around the Christmas tree and open presents.
christmas market

christmas market in the centre of vienna -full of cosy stalls sellingchristmas food, and all sorts from blown glass christmas ornaments to hand carved toys, try the Jaegertea - a really potent, warming alcoholic tea sold in individual mugs which you pay a deposit for and then wander around the market drinking, hand back and your deposit is returned. saw a congo line of "hen night" revellers complete with santa hats and badges and cups of "Tea" who were really "merry" - great fun - flew direct from Glasgow airport, very early start but totally worth it.
Christmas Markets

In the weeks before Christmas you will find numerous markets across Vienna’s squares and pedestrianized zones. The stalls sell mainly small gifts and Christmas decorations, as well as punch and hot spiced wine to warm you on cold winter evenings.
