Vacationing in Austria

When vacationing in Austria the first thing you will notice is the ease of travel through the city. The Metro provides transportation to all historic attractions within the city limits, and most just outside the city.

There are three places in Austria that you absolutely cannot miss. Start your day at the Naschmarkt, a massive outdoor street market that has everything under the sun.

Street entertainers, charismatic vendors, excellent food and great people watching make a visit to the Naschmarkt an unforgettable experience.


In the afternoon you will want to hop on the metro to visit the Schonbrunn Palace.

Approaching the palace will take you back several centuries to a time of Castles and Knights.

Not to fear though, the palace contains a stunning garden, an acoustic theatre, and a zoo for the little ones.

Last but far from least is an evening trip to St. Peter’s Church, arguably the most beautiful interior of any Church on earth.

Thought not the biggest of the ancient Churches of Europe, it certainly makes up for it with its character. A true must see, you will thank me later.
