Part 5: Vienna, Austria
Another 3 to 4-hour train ride and we arrived to a city filled with art and music – Vienna. In every corner you could feel the rich history this city had to offer and the luxuries of life awaited in most corners of the inner city.
We visited trendy cafes mixed with small boutiques, the night life was amazing and for a large city the clean streets were signs that this city knew how to clean up. I just couldn’t stop taking photos of this beautiful city. Again, we were in the city centre so we would take a tram (which was only 25 mins away from the city centre).

Things to Note While in Vienna:
- English is spoken in Vienna, but it doesn’t hurt to learn some German phrases.
- Best time to visit to avoid crowds is early spring (end of March).
- If you don’t want to spend too much on taxi fare, be sure to take the subways / trains / trams into the city centre. It’s also fairly easy to get around using the subways while in the downtown core.

Where to Stay in Vienna:
Lots of great boutique hotels and Airbnb’s you can stay at, and most are fairly cheap.
For the reader & book lover:
A must-see in Vienna is the National State Library. It’s like the library from Beauty & the Beast!

What to Do/See in Vienna:
- Walking tour is always a must for me. I feel like you get a good sense for what the city’s about, and the hidden facts that you might not discover by just walking by.
- Visit the National Library, it’s stunning! Also free for anyone under 19.
- Coffee culture is amazing here so be sure to visit local cafes and coffeeshops.
- Stephen’s Cathedral is a stunning Gothic style cathedral that towers over the city.

Museums, shopping, food, architecture, music, it’s all here. Vienna is one of the most romantic and European cities and it is so much fun. This is a laid-back city full of culture and a sense of style. Whether you’re just wandering the streets or you’re devouring art in museums, you’re sure to find something you love about Vienna.
Have you been to Vienna? If you have, what was your favourite part of the city? What are some things you recommend seeing, do have any favourite places to eat or shop?

Vienna to me is all about art and culture , it can give a great oppurtunity to people to know more about different aspects of art through meseums ,libraries and even the shape of buildings that are unique. I wish i could visit Vienna someday.
Vienna sounds lovely. I never visited but my parents did before I was born.
I loved this set of pics and tips about the city.
And I thoroughly enjoyed the comparison to the Beast’s library ^_^
You know, when I went to see the movie I immediately recognised the very library they used as inspiration. It’s the library of the University of Coimbra, in Portugal (my country). I’ve been there twice.

Your blog is really informative. Your writing skills are amazing. I love the photos too. Last but not the least it’s simply beautiful.♥
Vienna is amazing! My parents lived there while my dad was in the Army. I was always envious of my older siblings that got to live in different places growing uip. They were in Italy and Germany too. I got to see some of the world so far from my time in the military but nothing quite as magnificent as Vienna or Amsterdam.
I went to Vienna in November and it was a wonderful experience. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is a must. With an audio guide you can spend at least a day in there and it’s fascinating.
Also, if you get the chance, attending a concert in one of the cathedrals is also a great experience. They usually have quite a few options/ venues so it’s worth having a browse but it makes for a lovely evening.
Beautiful❤❤❤
Love the photos! Thanks for the travel guide, Vienna sounds lovely!
