Vienna

Vienna is an aristocratic city that exudes an aura of glorious past, mainly because of its architecture that is reminiscent of Paris. The horse-drawn carriages in the center of the city are in favor of this feeling, while traditional cafes will travel you back to the olden days when Freud, Klimt, Beethoven, Schubert and Mozart frequented there.

Like Paris, Vienna is divided into municipal districts with numbers (Gemeindebezirke or Bezirke). The number is also found in the postal code, e.g. 1010 Wien is the first apartment and 1100 Wien the tenth.

According to a survey by Mercer International Business Consulting, Vienna has been ranked for the tenth year as the city with the highest quality of life on a global scale.

Accommondation – During my stay in Vienna, I was hosted at a friend’s house. But after some research I have the following hotels to recommend: Ruby Marie in Neubau, one of the best places to stay because it is very close to the center without being accurate. Also Altstadt hotel in one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Vienna (Spittelberg).

Food –

• For breakfast or lunch at boulangerie-Pâtisserie Paremi
• For original Schnitzel at Figlmüller
• Dinner at the typical viennese Café Landtmann
• For a snack at Beaulieu
