Things that just spicer it all up .. :-)

The Vienna damn! Therefore be ye hear Mozart, Vivaldi- or Strauss concert or perhaps watch a ballet - or I should certainly visit Vienna's Staatsoper. The Opera House is one of the most influential in the world. Its history goes back to the mid 19th century, and since then has been rather heard a sea of ​​appearances from the best classical musicians in the world. It is possible to get a tour here.

However, it may be a little pricey experience, to see a show here and there are clean tighten requirements for clothing - grave as the usual high school student's attire certainly did not live up to. But it is quite certain that the class here is a unique experience that they will never forget.

If you need to on something other than all the beautiful buildings you can visit Tier Garden Schönbrunn, the world's oldest zoo. One is surprised by stepping into here - Tier Garden Schönbrunn far surpasses most other zoo'si world, so it will no doubt be quite an experience for most. All kinds of animals can be found here - but the big attraction, though, is their panda! It is one of the only zoos in the world where you can greet such a cousin.

A visit to the Spanish Riding School is also a unique opportunity. Here you can see the beautiful, white, strong horses at morning training, where besides also see the beautiful building inside. It is also possible to take a guided tour of the riding school and learn about its amazing history and principles.

The Spanish Riding School is the only one in the world that still has the classic horsemanship from the Renaissance. The beautiful white lipzianerheste makes for a gala show to music.

Getting to and from

The city has a really good location in the central-eastern part of Europe. There are many other cities nearby, why road convoys course is in order. Therefore suitable Wien also hugely well as a destination driving to - and simultaneously visit other towns on the way. It could, for instance. be Bratislava. It takes about a half hours with a private bus from Vienna to Bratislava, then I want to combine a stay in Vienna, with a trip to the Slovak capital Bratislava, it can be easily done in a day. The town Hainburg is certainly worth a visit. Walls and towers enclose still the old medieval town, which for many years served as a fortress, defended Europe against the Ottoman Empire.

Still today there are in Hainburg many well-preserved town houses, especially the buildings on Hauptplatz is incredibly beautiful. Drive up the mountain road to the Braunsberg from where you can enjoy views of the area and all the way to Bratislava.

Take a walk past svovlkurbyen Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, which is hundreds of years has been a luxury spa resorts in Austria. The city's sources have been used for healing since the Romans. In Bad Deutsch-Altenburg will find Austria's largest Roman museum with over 3000 exhibits from the area.

I could immediately smell the sulfur that make the city a different and special place.

In the not-so-cheerful category can visit, Malthausen, Austria's largest concentration camp from World War 2. Here came through the war years about 200,000 prisoners of war from around the world through more than half did not survive. The prisoners died of exhaustion due to the harsh forced labor or disease as a result of the catastrophic hygienic conditions. Others were tortured to death, shot or gassed in gas chambers.

In conclusion
