[LANGDON SEAGULL]

Off to Vienna in a few weeks - can the great and good of NSC recommend any decent restaurants, bars and attractions to visit?

Visit the castle and Zoo we were also lucky we saw Rapid Vienna playing a mid-week game. Area around the stadium has excellent walks. Extremely good modern art museum.

Giant wheel is good and an observation tower further out in the suburbs.

Go and see the horses practising their moves for free, lunch every day was giant (proper) hot dog, cheesy sausages.

Thanks BH, I’ve managed to snag a couple of tickets for Rapid v Red Bulk Salzburg so far

Take out a loan. It’s bloody expensive

Really ?

We went for 5 nights in 2015 and thought everything was reasonably priced for a European Capital

Went to a cafe. 2 beers and 2 coffees came to 22 euros. Maybe I’m tight.

Is that a fat football team?

Went just a few years ago.
Of all the places we ate we enjoyed eating here the most:

Apparently they like to feed their wide men.

Was there last year...very expensive in the city centre, coffee and cake 20 euros.

Schonnbrun Palace was good, lots of walks around there. Get a 5 day Metro pass.

Hitler was born in Vienna.
We went on a very interesting walking tour with a guide who went through his early life and saw all the places he was involved in.
Shocked to hear that to this day 2 cops have to guard the central synagogue day and night.

Suggest you buy pass for the trams whilst there. Get you all around the city.

If you like classical music (after all it is Vienna) then you can go to a dinner/concert. Not cheap but worth it if your thing.

Went to Spanish horses. Myself and brother in law found it boring, but as wives seemed to be enjoying it, us two sloped off for a drink.

It is a very interesting city and recommend to anyone.

Went about 15 years ago. Booked well in advance for the Spanish Riding School (treat for the wife) and also did the Schonbrunn Palace.

Thanks for all your advice - will book a lot of these ideas up tomorrow [emoji106]

We were there for 3 nights. Restaurant wise depends on your budget and your taste. First night we went to Carmen und Ich. It's a bar/restaurant, mainly locals and in an urban area. Run by Carmen, she's lovely, food is traditional Austrian and has a menu in English if you need it. Huge food portions, cheap and cheerful. Good Stiegel beer.

Second night we went to a pizza place called Via Toledo Enopizzeria. One of the best pizzas I've had even when in Italy. Its in Josefstadt and again, not that expensive, but a good atmosphere.

Third we went to Marienhof in Josefstadt. Traditional Austrian, English menu, excellent selection of wines. Situated in a courtyard, nice and cool, chilled out atmosphere. We were there for 3 hours, didn't get rushed, big portions, so plenty of time to digest and be ready for the next course. 3 courses, several drinks came to €60. The only complaint people have is the lack of staff, but we were happy to chill out and they were attentive when we needed them.

Tourist wise, depends what you want. Definitely visit Schonbrunn Palace and get the ticket that includes the Gloriette. Glorious views of Vienna. We left it til the afternoon, got there for 2pm had loads of time to look around and got to the Gloriette viewing platform for 4pm and there were a lot fewer people around. Was very pleasant.

Find a nice coffee house and order industrial quantities of strudel with cream all weekend before exploding on the plane. This is essentially what we did. Still the only airport terminal I’ve been to with an adult sex shop in, complete with fly strips donning the entrance for extra seediness! Bizarre.

Apologies for hijacking thread.
Have you been to the new exhibition at Hughenden yet?
