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.

Christ’s Ascension

Celebrated on the nearest Thursday 40 days after Easter to mark the day Christ ascended to heaven.
Climbing

The anti-aircraft tower in Esterhazypark has a huge climbing wall run by the Austrian Alpine Society.
Club Fledermaus

A long staircase leads down to the Club Fledermaus, named after the bats (Fledermaus ) that would have inhabited Vienna’s cellars in the Middle Ages. Today it is frequented by night owls who invade the red velvet interior as one of the major party spots in town. There are events Wednesday to Sunday.
Congress

This modern 3-star hotel is very close to the Belvedere. Although it is situated just across from the railway station on a fairly busy road, it offers good value. All 75 rooms and two apartments have satellite television as well as Internet access.
Corpus Christi

Processions are held in every parish and a monstrance decorated with flowers is carried from altar to altar.
Council Housing

The massive Karl-Marx-Hof building was constructed in 1930.
Cremeschnitte

This cake consists of two layers of crispy puff pastry, filled with a thick layer of vanilla-flavoured whipped cream and topped with sugared icing.
Cryston

The cosy and friendly rooms of the Hotel Cryston make up for its location on a busy road. The modern bedrooms are fitted with satellite TV, direct-dial phones, a safe, and hair dryers in the en-suite bathrooms.
Cycling

The cycling paths through city cover more than 800 km (500 miles). The Donauinsel in particular is great for cyclists.
