Vienna Family Travel Tips

By 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.

Family Overview: Vienna, Austria
