The capital of Austria is a beautiful city lying in the center of the European continent, with shining examples of classic architecture beside huge green parks. Boasting the cleanest air of any city around the world, they also enjoy delicious spring water piped in straight from mountain springs.
Vienna lies on the beautiful Danube river and to the traveller, offers so much to see and do. Cultural presentation and performances galore, feature top artists, lavish musicals are staged year round.
Indeed, the land of Johann Strauss and waltz, of wine, silk, love and majestic Lippizauner horses enchants visitors indeed.
Vienna is also a safe city, where one can stroll unmolested down the streets. There are no slums to speak of. The National Health Service offers excellent medical facilities to all.
For visitors, there is so much to do. Just imagine, where else in the world can you in summer bathe with impunity in the city’s river, then drive 20 minutes up to the hills and sip the indigenous wine while watching the city lights twinkle below? Or in winter take your children skiing on the back of those selfsame slopes? Walk for hours through thick rolling forests? Take a thermal bath? Play golf, cricket, skate, row, sail, go to the racetrack, the funfair, all within the city limits? Where else can you walk your dog after dark in any of the numerous parks? Ride the public transport system with no sense of dread? And all this in addition to the usual cultural and sightseeing splendours every self-respecting big city offers its visitors.
The only downside remains the driving. Drivers are aggressive, parking in the city is scarce and expensive, and the maze of one way streets can be daunting to someone unfamiliar with the city.
However, public transport is convenient, safe and fast. The 60-km-long ultramodern subway is clean, safe, spacious and fast, the traditional tramway plies all corners of the city and the surface ‘S-Bahn’ railway the outlying districts, a fleet of emission-free LPG-driven buses is in service round the clock. Taxis do not usually cruise and are best summoned by phone. Clearly marked cycle tracks around and out of the city also make it a tempting choice to cycle and enjoy the sights and sounds of Vienna.
