Overall

Vienna is a magical city of music history and culture. A visit to Schonbrunn and Hofburg palaces is a must. Beautiful in both summer and winter, the city rings with music, even the buskers should be playing in concert halls. The Spanish riding school is a real treat (but get seats to ensure you cansee properly. It feels incredibly safe, and the people are friendly and courteous. If the opportunity arises to visit the state opera house it is well worth it, as are the Strauss and Mozart concerts held at the Kurzsalon. The museums are all wonderful. Great choice of restaurants to suit all budgets, but a visit to Demel is essental. The only area of Vienna I didn't particularily like was near the Sudbahnhof and Belvedere palace. I can't wait to go back!
