Culturally Rich Vienna Continues to Inspire

The Belvedere Palace is a popular destination for tourists

With the recent recession causing some individuals to look closer to home for holiday inspiration, cheap flights to Vienna from British airports, including both Gatwick and Stansted, offer the ideal cultural haven that many crave. Filled with both historic and modern day delights, Austria's capital city provides plenty of entertainment for tourists.

Vienna's popularity remains strong, with the city continuing to draw millions of visitors each year from around the world. Located on the beautiful Danube tourists can discover the heart of the city by taking to the river or exploring the out reaches of bustling Vienna, where a range of wine taverns can be found for individuals to test their taste buds. Meanwhile the Viennese café scene is popular with many who wish to wander the streets and explore the fine museums and galleries at its centre, playing host to a range of traditional and contemporary pieces. Elsewhere, seasonal change in the city is to be celebrated, with the Spanish Riding School's white stallions and beautiful parks gracing the summer whilst Austria's renowned ball season begins as the nights draw in.

Vienna also continues to push the boundaries with its architecture and hospitality, currently beginning construction of the DC Tower. Soon to become the country's tallest building, it will host the Hotel ME Vienna with 15 floors of luxurious rooms and suites gazing out over the blue Danube. And with easyJet, Lufthansa, and BMI all offering competitive deals, breaks to this charming Viennese city can be more accessible than many think.
