A
Travel in Vienna
● Get lost in Vienna's vineyards
A quite large area of Vienna is covered in vineyards. These go on for seven square kilometres, making the city one of the largest wine growing spots in the world. One way to finish off a summer day is by joining the locals at one of the wine pubs in the evening.
● Explore the city's beaches and pools
While Vienna has no coastline, it does try its best to give you a beach experience. You can get to the Danube River where you will find great spots for a swim. If you like, you can visit the Alte Donau (旧多缁河公园) which has a few fee-paying beach clubs.
● Catch an aerial (空中的) glimpse of the city
One of the most popular thrills Vienna holds is the huge Ferris wheel, the Riesenrad. It stands at a height of 64. 7 metres and is a great way to get an aerial view of the city. The Riesenrad is located right at the entrance of the Prater Amusement Park.
●See the world's oldest zoo
The Tiergarten has been standing since 1752. It has seen Austria's ups and downs and to this day continues to entertain the locals and visitors, both the young and old. There are different animals to see, but the ones that hold centre stage are the giant pandas.
● Get around Vienna
The best way to move around the city is by public transport. Hands down, it has the best transport system in all of Europe. There are trains, buses, trams and taxis to choose from.
● Best times to visit
Time your holiday in April to May and September to October if you don't want to meet large crowds. Spring and fall are the time of low hotel prices. The warmer months, which last from June to August, draw too many visitors and these cause the prices to skyrocket. The warm atmosphere is worth it, though.
