The Museums Quarter, an area of Vienna dedicated to galleries and museums, hosts an array of attractive cafes and restaurants as well as the cultural side. Another popular attraction is the giant Ferris wheel built firstly in 1900. It was renovated in 2008, and now stands at the entrance to the Prater Amusement Park.

Whether shopping for trinkets and souvenirs in the old town, or doing some serious buying in the more modern and trendy designer shops near the Naschmarkt, it is a city that suits all.
After a hard day sightseeing, taking in the culture and shopping, relax in one of Vienna’s globally renown coffeehouses, where pastries and a variety of coffee drinks entice all who enter. The Viennese Concert Cafes combine the rich, subtle taste and aroma of coffee drinks with the beautiful strains of piano music, creating a feast for the senses.
