What travelers are saying
- wax lyricalLondon, UK24 contributionsWhat a beautiful spot. I was amazed that the gardens (except the small privy garden) are free to roam around in. Schönbrun is, of course, one of the busiest tourist spots in Vienna. However the park is so big, do full of places to sit and just relax that it doesn’t feel as busy as it is.
I thought it was really heavenly place to sit and read and have some real quality time. Brilliant.Written September 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you have about 1 1/2 to 2 hours you can walk around and see all the sights.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Raintree_ThailandBangkok, Thailand4,282 contributionsWe stumbled upon this charming square while wandering the streets of Vienna. So cool that there were a number of food stalls set up and we enjoyed snacks and local wine (2.5 euros/glass).Written July 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jeffrey hKailua-Kona, HI543 contributionsIt was very easy to take the tram to the endpoint at Beethovengang. From there a trail wandered up the hill through a narrow patch of forest. There were birds and friendly locals, although they mostly spoke German...go figure. There is a wine restaurant there that only opens in the late afternoon. The nice man let us in to look around, but there were no beverages or food available at lunch time.Written December 1, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AFAK25Jeddah, Saudi Arabia4,498 contributionsSaw the first few stars near the State Opera with names of some artists. I believe these are famous opera singers of yesteryear.
Interestingly I actually discovered almost similar stars on the ground in Bratislava first although I stayed in Vienna during this trip.Written January 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EyekaytooLeverkusen, Germany3,175 contributionsOn our attempt to explore all the various nooks and crannies on Vienna we were advised to try to seek out the Fleischmarket. This is a relatively small street area nestled between St. Stephan's cathedral and the Danube. Apparently Greek merchants settled around Fleischmarkt from about 1700, which gradually became known as the Griechenviertel (Greek quarter). This surely explains the presence of a Greek orthodox church here. I also read that the favourite meeting place of the Greek community was the Griechenbeisl, Vienna’s oldest Beisl (small tavern or restaurant) dating to 1447. The day we visited it was very busy so we moved on.
Anyway, this is a lovely, quaint corner of this bustling city.Written September 25, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This walk is still in it's infancy and has been changed somewhat since 2014 and now starts in Sopron, Hungary. Having also walked part of the Camino Portuguese I'm able to compare the two. On the EPW, coffee shops and grocery stores are often few and far between and some days you will have to picnic somewhere. On the EPW the accommodation for each night is arranged beforehand but this means you must walk the daily distances. Some of the accommodations are in private homes and guesthouses where your host will prepare dinner, breakfast and pack you a lunch for the following day. Many of the accommodations are hostels and hotels. (You must book your own accommodation in Sopron, Llubliana and Trieste) There are some opportunities along the way to take a taxi part way or all the way. I do not recommend that you do this walk solo as some areas are very remote. It's very easy to miss an arrow. Some arrows are difficult to spot. If you're able to download previous walkers' GPS data (especially data from year 2017) that would be very helpful in the event that you miss and arrow and have to backtrack. I myself didn't have cell phone with me (my biggest mistake) and got lost one day without having any idea about my location. After that I walked with others as multiple eyes looking for arrows are better than two sets of eyes. This is a beautiful walk through beautiful farmlands and forests. Be prepared to average about 25 Km each day, much of it on pavement. You will meet some wonderful people along the way. You will love the hospitality of all the hosts and some of the local people. This walk will be more enjoyable if you're physically fit. The first week is mostly flat but once you're in Croatia you will encounter some hills. If you're comfortable walking long distance each day, spending time with the same people day after day, and being prepared for NO coffee shops for hours then this walk is for you. I'm very happy that I did it!Written June 30, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Neil KLiverpool, UK829,468 contributionsIf you walk over the Reichsbrucke ,the wonderful looking bridge you come out onto Mexikoplatz ,an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the city.
The most stunning building on this square is kirche St Franziskus Von Assisi ,an absolutely amazing looking church ,you also have the peaceful Rosenpark ,a lovely park area to chill out in ,some nice monuments in the park ,one that caught my eye was the 1938 Anschluss Memorial,very poignant ,this square is easy to locate ,U1 to Ubahn stop Vorgartenstraße brings you out onto Mexikoplatz.Written February 7, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The square is dominated by the magnificent St Peters Catholic Church ( Peterskirche ) .
The square is surrounded by some great hotel buildings and there's lots of shopping outlets punctuated by some really good cafe bars , all in all a fantastic square to check out if you're in area or planning a holiday to this most beautiful of city's.Written January 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There's not much information available about this great set of statue's that form an entrance ,the two statue's on raised plinths look superb showing cattlemen driving their bulls to market , this is appropriate as the Marx Halle and area around the Marx Halle were these statues are located was once the cattle market area ,it's a great set of statue's to check out and a wonderful entrance and easy to locate along Helmut Qualitinger Gasse and well worth seeking out if you're in the area.Written February 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

From Rooseveltplatz you have great views of two wonderful looking parks namely Votivpark and Sigmund Freud Park ,Votivpark is home to the stunning Votivkirche ,one of the most beautiful churches in Vienna and Sigmund Freud Park is home to some great statues and monuments and is an oasis of calm,around this square are lots of great looking buildings and some great cafés,bars,pubs and restaurants ,all in all a great square to check out if you're in the area.Written February 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's not a big district ,very walkable indeed ,the cafe bars and restaurants on streets such a as Margaretenstraße and Operngaße are magnets for night owls ,walk along Wiedner Haupstraße and you have the wonderful and eclectic architecture ,on the border of the 4th district is Karlsplatz ,a big green oasis of calm with the stunning church as it's centrepiece and home come the festive time of one of Vienna's biggest and best Christmas markets ,streets such as Schliefmuhlgaße have great local bars to chill out in ,Naschmarkt is a big market area and again borders the Wieden District ,the market and area around this market is vibrant ,all in all it's a great district to check out ,a good starting point is Rilkepkatz by the beautiful Paulanerkirche and near my favourite pub in Vienna namely The Four Bells Irish Pub.
Well worth checking out if you're planning a holiday to Vienna.Written February 6, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
