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

Completely forgot about, is it good?

Probably go later in month.
Just got back from a decent garden show at Chenies Manor, Sussex well represented by Sidlesham, Billingshurst and Heathfield

We found it good value compared to Sweden.

Never trusted those Heathfield types. Something suspicious about their fruit and veg.

If you are in Vienna on August 16 you could take in this lot who are the football stadium!

Like Germany the food did not suit my taste. But found this great place near the Hofburg Palace.

Great place to walk around, lovely people. Must do the funfair as featured in the Third Man. Prater Park.

Planning a Budapest-Vienna few days later this year.

Haven't gotten too far into research yet beyond is Cafe Sacher for the famous cake and coffee + the Aria hotel looks very nice and will likely stay there.

Following this thread for tips, thanks all

Ah Vienna. That was a cracking England trip.
Saw Osama Bin Laden DJ at a gig after stuffing our faces with hot dogs in a secluded male orientated/ dogging venue wood where we were hiding after legging it from some very angry Russian mafia types
Drugs are powerful things. Just say no.
Food was nice….……apparently.

I worked in Vienna for a few months a few years back. The Naschmarkt is worth a visit if your into your food. They also have a great flea market up the far end https://www.wien.info/en/shopping-wining-dining/markets/naschmarkt. Schoenbrunn Palace is also very nice, walk up to the top of the hill and have coffee in the café at the top https://www.schoenbrunn.at/en/

I used to work for an Austrian company and visited a few times. One thing you must do is bring some of this home:

Was in Budapest in August and Vienna in September. Budapest was much better and far cheaper. Goulash soup is cheap and tasty. If using taxis download the bolt / taxify app.

I used to go a lot with work and always enjoyed eating at the Gasthaus Siedl. The schnitzel was way better than in the more famous schnitzel restaurants.


Jewish Museum Vienna is worth a visit as well. The focus is very much on the Jewish community before and after the Holocaust and much less on the Holocaust itself than you might expect which gives and slightly different perspective.

The Prater Gardens amusement park has a wonderful old world feel.

I really like the city. Hope you have a great time.
