Tourist cards can be found in pretty much every major city, and they can help you visit multiple major attractions for a portion of the price. The Vienna Pass is the most popular tourist card that Vienna, Austria has in store, but what can you expect from it, and is it worth the price?

What is the Vienna Pass?

You can visit up to 90 of Vienna’s top attractions with the Vienna Pass, and it includes everything from access to the hop-on-hop-off busses to fast-track entry to some of the city’s major sights. You can find the list of the attractions on the official website of Vienna Pass, and the adult ticket will set you back by between €89 and €179, depending on the number of days.

Flexi Pass

In addition to the regular pass, you can also consider buying the Vienna Flexi Pass, which is more affordable but covers fewer attractions. It allows you to explore the city at a slower pace because it’s charged by the number of the attractions that you’re going to visit, in addition to including the 24-hour access to hop-on-hop-off buses.

Right Choice

The Vienna Pass can be a great money-saver if you’re planning to visit multiple attractions in a short period of time. If you decide to buy it, it’s important to be well-organized, get an early start, and know which attractions you want to visit in advance. Try to group attractions in close proximity to each other and take advantage of hop-on-hop-off buses because they’re included in the price.

If you prefer exploring the city at a slower pace, the Vienna Pass might not be your cup of tea. Compare the regular prices of the attractions that you’re planning to visit, and if the numbers don’t add up, consider using the Vienna Flexi Pass or buying individual tickets instead.

Everyone should visit Vienna at least once in a lifetime, but exploring this magical city doesn’t come cheap. Vlada of Vlaki’s Life learned this the hard way when she moved to the Austrian capital for her studies, but she figured out how to explore it on a budget—and she’ll help you do the same.

Vlada is an international student based in Vienna, and she now feels right at home in this city – but that wasn’t always the case. Navigating Vienna as an international student had its challenges, and Vlada decided to share her story with the world in hope it would be a learning lesson for other people on a similar journey.

Want to have a different kind of experience when visiting Vienna, Austria, compared to all other tourists? In that case, you might want to check out these top non-touristy things to do in the city.

Visit the People’s Republic of Kugelmugel

Vienna is home to Europe’s smallest micronation, at least if you ask the citizens of the People’s Republic of Kugelmugel. Located in Prater amusement park, Kugelmugel is actually a spherical house protected with barbed wires. It was founded by artist Edwin Lipburger as a result of a dispute with authorities in 1976 and counts 650 non-resident citizens.

Enjoy Wine at Grinzing

Grinzing is a small village northwest of Vienna famous for its vineyards and numerous local taverns known as Heurigen. You can explore the countryside and later enjoy homemade wine alongside delicious Austrian cuisine.

See Wildlife at the Lainzer Tiergarten

Lainzer Tiergarten was once a hunting ground for the royal family and now serves as a wildlife preserve. It is home to a number of animal species including wild boars, red deer, and European mouflons that freely roam the area. Visitors can also check out the Hermesvilla, a former royal residence.

Explore METAStadt

METAStadt is a former factory that now houses a number of different attractions. This includes yoga studios, shops, and a flea market. Additionally, the place serves as a venue for concerts and different events.

If you’re a live music addict but don’t live in Europe, chances are you don’t really know much about the live music scene there. Luckily, there are actually many cities in the continent that boast a strong and rich history in live music, and we don’t just mean classical music. If you’re looking to discover more about the European music scene, here are three cities there that you should check out.

London, UK

One could argue that no city in the world has had more influence on modern pop music than London. This is because the basic musical pop idiom of today is rooted in classic rock—and London is the heart of classic rock. When you consider bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and many others, they called it the “British Invasion” for a reason. As you drive through London, you can visit Abbey Road, the very studio where many classic rock bands (including the Beatles) recorded their best hits.

Berlin, Germany

When it comes to modern music, Berlin is actually considered by many to be the music capital of Europe. This is due to its universal nature, and the fact that it’s a melting pot of countless cultures and musical styles all around the world. Just about any musical style you can think of, you can probably find a place in Berlin to see it performed live.

Vienna, Austria

Vienna is actually called the “City of Music” by many music historians, most notably because was once home to legendary composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. However, beyond this foundation, there are also plenty of booming music cultures there, especially when it comes to electronic, jazz, and alternative music.

Vienna, the stunningly beautiful capital of Austria, is a magnificent city to visit at any time of year. However, most locals will tell you that to experience Vienna at its most authentic, you need to go in the winter months. Check out these tips on what to see and do in the city during the winter.

Winter Wonderland

Make the most of the cold season in Vienna, and join the locals at the Wiener Eistraum (Vienna Ice Dream), a vast open air ice rink in the middle of the city. Between November and March, enjoy relaxed skating in the afternoons, and then expect a bit more liveliness in the evenings as bars open and the DJ starts.

Dance the Night Away

The city has long been associated with ballroom dancing. January and February are the months to visit if you want to take part in one of nearly 300 balls around the city. Expect stunning architecture, beautiful music, and delicious canapés at each of the fantastic venues. You can join in, or just observe as hundreds of couples move in sync across the ballroom floor.

Spa Day

If the cold is getting to you, check into one of Vienna’s many luxury spas. With all the treatments available, there’s no need to brave the cold streets! After a day of pampering, you should feel ready to head out again and enjoy one of Vienna’s many high quality restaurants.

A stunning city at any time of year, Vienna really comes into its own in the winter.

A city with a good live music scene is a huge draw for many people, as it can mean good nightlife or a city with a buzzing cultural hub. Here are three European cities with very different music scenes that are all thriving in their own way.

Berlin

Berlin has a buzzing nightlife and is home to some of the most popular nightclubs in Europe. It has over 100 nightclubs that are underground techno venues, which demonstrates the depth of Berlin’s music scene. Berlin also has a great range of live music, including jazz and punk. If you are interested in your musical history, there are musical tours of the city that take in the lives of David Bowie and Iggy Pop who both lived in Berlin for periods.

Vienna

Vienna is the historic center of classical music in Europe and its reputation remains to this day. Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven all resided in Vienna at some point in their life, and the city now offers tours of their places of residence. Vienna also has an excellent opera house and many venues to witness classical music.

Dublin

Dublin has produced some of the most significant musical artists of the 20th century including Thin Lizzy, Sinead O’Connor, and U2. Dublin’s musical scene is quite intimate as there is lots of live music from smaller artists. The scene encompasses folk music, rock, jazz, and lots more.

Want to make your visit to Vienna, Austria, a bit more eventful? Then you should consider setting some time aside to make a day trip outside the city borders. Several amazing destinations are easily reachable by bus or train from Vienna, and you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore them. Here are the best you can pick.

Bratislava, Slovakia

It will take you just an hour with a train to reach Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, from Vienna. The city is small enough that you can explore all of its top tourist attractions in just one day while offering a unique experience thanks to its castles, cobblestone streets, cultural offerings, and amazing food.

Melk Abbey 

If you are a history buff, then you should pick Melk Abbey. Situated above the small town of Melk, the complex is famous for being the final resting place of several members of Austria’s first ruling dynasty, the House of Babenberg. It is renowned for its exceptional Baroque exterior and astonishing inner decorations that consist of paintings, frescoes, and historical artifacts. Its library is a particular point of interest because it contains various rare medieval manuscripts.

Salzburg

A trip from Vienna to Salzburg usually takes around two hours, but it is well worth it. The city is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and houses one of the most-renowned musical conservatories at Mozarteum University. You can feel its musical vibe on every corner, but Salzburg will also charm you with its architecture and rich cultural heritage.

Vienna, Austria, is considered one of the most livable cities in the world. If you want to discover why, then you should do what locals do during your next visit.

Visit Wine Taverns

Vienna has a rich tradition of wine taverns, also known as Heurigers. Most of these taverns serve their own wine and pair it with staples of Austrian cuisine like Wiener Schnitzels and sausages.

Explore Lainzer Tiergarten

Lainzer Tiergarten is a wildlife preserve just outside Vienna. It is popular among families who come here to enjoy a relaxing day outdoors and marvel at an amazing view of the city. You’ll have to embark on an hour-long climb for the best views, but it is well worth it.

Dance at Techno Parties

The techno scene is on the rise in Vienna, and you should check it out even if you are not into EDM. Every week, there are several techno gatherings happening across the city, ranging from outdoor day parties to nightclub parties.

Have Fun at the Prater

Vienna’s Prater is considered one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. Whether you visit during the day or in the evening, you’ll see a bunch of locals strolling through the park, enjoying rides, or simply grabbing a bite to eat at one of Würstelstands.

Vienna is one of those amazing cities in the world that has a unique flair to it, sporting a wide variety of different attractions you can visit. For instance, this Austrian city has a great historic culture of cafes, to the point where there are many different cafes you can visit while you’re there. Here are three different cafe types you can check out while in Vienna.

Lavish and Royal

The strangest and most memorable cafe experience you can find in Vienna will be in cafes such as Cafe Central, where it feels like you’re walking into a 16th-century British Palace. Indeed, the style is very elegant and proper, unlike any cafe you’ve ever seen. This is about as vintage as it gets, and you’ll never forget it.

The Beatnik Hub

This kind of cafe is somewhat the opposite of the one we just mentioned, but no less interesting. It’s intimate, beaten-down, gritty, and perfect for introverts who like to keep a low profile. Indeed, these cafes, such as Cafe Hawelka, were frequented by notable poets and philosophers over the centuries.

Modern and Inventive

And finally, there are cafes you can visit in Vienna that are modern, but still unlike anything you’ve seen. Take a Vienna cafe called “Phil”, for example. It’s essentially a library and cafe hybrid, full of color and intrigue. This is just one example, and there are plenty more interesting modern coffee shops to check out in Vienna.

A city with a good live music scene is a huge draw for many people, as it can mean good nightlife or a city with a buzzing cultural hub. Here are three European cities with very different music scenes that are all thriving in their own way.

Berlin

Berlin has a buzzing nightlife and is home to some of the most popular nightclubs in Europe. It has over 100 nightclubs that are underground techno venues, which demonstrates the depth of Berlin’s music scene. Berlin also has a great range of live music, including jazz and punk. If you are interested in your musical history, there are musical tours of the city that take in the lives of David Bowie and Iggy Pop who both lived in Berlin for periods.

Vienna

Vienna is the historic center of classical music in Europe and its reputation remains to this day. Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven all resided in Vienna at some point in their life, and the city now offers tours of their places of residence. Vienna also has an excellent opera house and many venues to witness classical music.

Dublin

Dublin has produced some of the most significant musical artists of the 20th century including Thin Lizzy, Sinead O’Connor, and U2. Dublin’s musical scene is quite intimate as there is lots of live music from smaller artists. The scene encompasses folk music, rock, jazz, and lots more.

Want to make your visit to Vienna, Austria, a bit more eventful? Then you should consider setting some time aside to make a day trip outside the city borders. Several amazing destinations are easily reachable by bus or train from Vienna, and you shouldn’t miss out on the opportunity to explore them. Here are the best you can pick.

Bratislava, Slovakia

It will take you just an hour with a train to reach Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, from Vienna. The city is small enough that you can explore all of its top tourist attractions in just one day while offering a unique experience thanks to its castles, cobblestone streets, cultural offerings, and amazing food.

Melk Abbey 

If you are a history buff, then you should pick Melk Abbey. Situated above the small town of Melk, the complex is famous for being the final resting place of several members of Austria’s first ruling dynasty, the House of Babenberg. It is renowned for its exceptional Baroque exterior and astonishing inner decorations that consist of paintings, frescoes, and historical artifacts. Its library is a particular point of interest because it contains various rare medieval manuscripts.

Salzburg

A trip from Vienna to Salzburg usually takes around two hours, but it is well worth it. The city is the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and houses one of the most-renowned musical conservatories at Mozarteum University. You can feel its musical vibe on every corner, but Salzburg will also charm you with its architecture and rich cultural heritage.

Vienna, Austria, is considered one of the most livable cities in the world. If you want to discover why, then you should do what locals do during your next visit.

Vienna has a rich tradition of wine taverns, also known as Heurigers. Most of these taverns serve their own wine and pair it with staples of Austrian cuisine like Wiener Schnitzels and sausages.

Vienna is one of those amazing cities in the world that has a unique flair to it, sporting a wide variety of different attractions you can visit. For instance, this Austrian city has a great historic culture of cafes, to the point where there are many different cafes you can visit while you’re there. Here are three different cafe types you can check out while in Vienna.

Lavish and Royal

The strangest and most memorable cafe experience you can find in Vienna will be in cafes such as Cafe Central, where it feels like you’re walking into a 16th-century British Palace. Indeed, the style is very elegant and proper, unlike any cafe you’ve ever seen. This is about as vintage as it gets, and you’ll never forget it.

The Beatnik Hub

This kind of cafe is somewhat the opposite of the one we just mentioned, but no less interesting. It’s intimate, beaten-down, gritty, and perfect for introverts who like to keep a low profile. Indeed, these cafes, such as Cafe Hawelka, were frequented by notable poets and philosophers over the centuries.

Modern and Inventive

And finally, there are cafes you can visit in Vienna that are modern, but still unlike anything you’ve seen. Take a Vienna cafe called “Phil”, for example. It’s essentially a library and cafe hybrid, full of color and intrigue. This is just one example, and there are plenty more interesting modern coffee shops to check out in Vienna.
