Book Hotels in Vienna, Austria

Out and About in Vienna

This city retains lovely old-world traditions, including 21 individual open-air markets. Visiting these tiny stalls, you can find the best deals on fresh baked goods, produce, handcrafts, and antiques. Hotels in Vienna are especially charming during the winter holidays, when you can venture out into the frosty air and explore the world-famous Christmas markets. The city's compact center is as picturesque as a fairy tale, with exquisite architecture and historic churches around every corner. In warmer weather, you'll want to sit at a sidewalk cafe, drinking a coffee smothered in whipped cream and just taking in the sights. Most Vienna hotels are located within the downtown core districts, and almost all of them are only a few minutes' walk from an underground or tram station.

Eating and Drinking

While you're in Vienna, you'll want to sample Austrian wines, and there are a number of welcoming wine bars that will give you a wonderful introduction even if you're a wine novice. Fine dining restaurants close to 4 star hotels in Vienna offer classic Austrian dishes with a slight French inflection. Indulge yourself with schnitzels and roasts, truffles and pastries, and then take a stroll to the famous Opera House for a world-class musical evening. If you prefer a less formal experience, street stands all over the city offer versions of wurst (sausages), prepared in countless shapes and sizes.
