Vienna is always in season and this offer provides exceptional value during Advent and the quieter months at the start of the year. As the former capital of the Austrian and Holy Roman Empire, Vienna houses many treasures in its palaces and museums, with the Imperial Palace the focal point of its history.
In winter a popular meeting point are the Coffee Houses (where they have been selling more variations than Starbucks for centuries!) and a ‘Wiener melange’ will buy a seat for as long as you like – the historic Café Central was a favourite of Lenin and Trotzky in exile and Café Landtmann of Freud and Mahler whilst Café Mozart was in ‘The Third Man’, Café Sacher created the famous Sachertorte and Demel was the Emperor’s pastry shop.
Attend a concert by the “Salonorchester Alt Wien“, featuring the music of Johann Strauss & Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with operetta singers and ballet soloists. The location is the Kursalon, built in 1867 in Renaissance style and where the Strauss brothers celebrated their greatest triumphs.
