Vienna Family Highlights

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth
  • Let imaginations run wild at the kid-focused Zoom Kindermuseum.
  • Watch majestic Lipizzaner stallions train at the world-famous Spanish Riding School.
  • Visit opulent Schloss Schönbrunn for a glimpse of the Hapsburg good life.
  • Take in the view from the 827-foot Donauturm, and come back down attached to a bungee cord!
  • Experience the fun and amusement arcades of the Prater.
  • Escape the city for a day's biking alongside the Danube River.

Vienna Overview

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth

A city that lays claim to timeless works by great composers including Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, and Schubert, not to mention the opulent legacy of the great Hapsburg Dynasty, Austria's capital Vienna probably isn't the first pushpin you'll find on most kids' must-see world map. Rather a pity, because beneath Vienna's refined and classical sheen lies a city bursting with energy and creative activities. Indeed, the city's once frosty attitude toward kids is also a thing of the past, with innumerable family-friendly cafés and restaurants, excellent public transportation, and a year-round menu of festivals and events tailored to the younger set.
