Vienna, Austria

Vienna, Austria | A Trendy Guide

Want to ride the oldest ferris wheel in the world, go to the oldest zoo, or visit the resting grounds of dozens of famous composers and artists? Look no further than Wien. Below, you will find a list of places to visit while in Wien.

According to the locals I spoke with, the months of April-May and September-December are the best time to be here. If you wait too long and stay in July-August, you will be experiencing the blistering heat and crowds of Wien, and if you go between January-February, it will be very cold with limited outdoor events and activities.

To get the most out of Wien and surrounding areas, I would recommend a stay of at least 4 days. That will allow you to experience this city fully and slowly. 

Europe is known for its public transportation, and Wien is no different. A PRO tip is to purchase a Vienna Card for unlimited public transportation, as well as discounts to museums, restaurants, and attractions.

- 👣 Walking: The cheapest, and often most rewarding, form of transportation out there! In many instances, this option takes no more than 10 minutes longer to reach a destination than it would be taking public transportation. It's easy to hit that 10,000-step goal here!

- 🚲 Bicycle / Scooter Rental: Perhaps you want to take in all the sights, but walking isn't the answer. You will find bike and scooter rentals almost anywhere. Lime and Tier are some of the most popular ones lying around, ready for you to use.

- 🚇 U-Bahn: The underground, or metro system, is an efficient system with 5 lines (U1-4 and U6). Buy single tickets or passes for an affordable price, or tap-and-go. Tickets valid on all mode of public transportation.

- 🚍 Bus: Part of the public transportation system and meant to complement the U-Bahn and tram system, tap-and-go or buy a ticket, valid for all modes of transportation.

- ⛴️ Ferry: With prices varying by route and time of year, this is a great scenic way to travel between points along the Danube River and see the city.

- 🚌 Bus: Different from the city buses, you can use companies like Flixbus to get to surrounding areas. It is typical to find a bus ticket to other cities in Austria for under 20€. 

- 🚊 Train: This option is reserved for distances farther than 100km typically. OBB trains offer a variety of options for getting to nearby cities or countries. You can download the phone apps and easily purchase your ticket on your phone, and your QR-code can be shown when prompted.
