If you’re looking for a creative neighbourhood to stay in in Vienna, Leopoldstadt, the former Jewish Quarter, could be right up your street. In recent years this area has been renovated and is now home to many coffee shops and art studios. The UNESCO listed Old Town is where you’ll find the city’s most famous sights, as well as the classic whitewashed architecture that Vienna is famous for. Margareten has a bohemian vibe thanks to its cool street art and local food markets.
Some of the best attractions to visit in Vienna are the Schönbrunn Palace, a former imperial summer residence, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, which includes artefacts from Ancient Egypt to the modern era, plus the world-famous Vienna State Opera, one of the busiest operas worldwide.

It’s surrounded by small restaurants that offer some of the best cheap food in Vienna, ranging from sushi to kebabs and Viennese classics. If the weather’s right, you can also head to the Danube River in the summer for some swimming and sunbathing.
