Breaks In Vienna – Vienna Hotels
Posted July 6, 2010 by BookingBuddy
Run away to Vienna for a romantic
break with your sweetheart. Stroll hand-in-hand through the cobbled streets,
then watch the sun set over the Danube before finishing the day with a
delicious meal of Weiner Schnitzel and Sachertorte. Beautiful palaces such as
the Hofburg and Schonbrunn make memorable backdrops for your holiday
photographs. Music lovers will enjoy visiting the graves and former abodes of
famous composers like Mozart and Beethoven.
See
Tiergarten Schonbrunn – You’re
unlikely to find a more elegant garden anywhere else. The Tiergarten Schonbrunn
is the oldest zoo in the world, and is located in the grounds of the Schonbrunn
Palace. Visitors can explore the buildings that housed the old royal menagerie,
and enjoy a meal in the former imperial breakfast pavilion. The zoo also
features several modern buildings, including the Rainforest and Desert houses,
and an Aqua-Terrarium House. The Tiergarten Schonbrunn is also open for special
night excursions.
Stay
Das Tyrol Small Luxury Hotel –
Located very close to Vienna’s Museum Quarter, this boutique hotel makes a
wonderful base for first-time visitors to the city. The hotel showcases a
wonderful blend of modern and traditional Viennese style, with paintings by local
artists in the rooms and public areas. The breakfast spread is enticingly
colourful, and features flaky croissants, delicious jams and local sausages and
cheeses. Room rates start from about £80.
Eat
Schnitzelwirt Schmidt - Enjoy huge
plates of traditional Viennese fare here, and all for a relatively low price,
by Viennese standards. The menu, as expected, features schnitzels galore. There’s
the usual Wiener schnitzel, as well as more interesting options such as
Holstein schnitzel and Gypsy schnitzel. There is also a rather exotic-sounding
Schnitzel a la Mexico, stuffed with peppers, ham and mushroom. Dessert options
include dumplings stuffed with cheese and served with a tart plum sauce, and
pancakes with marmalade, chocolate or plum sauce.
