Districts / Transport & bikes / Outdoor restaurant
by lobopequeno
Hi,
that's a load of questions, the very general ones are best answered by a travel guide such as Lonely P. ect
2- the city is divided into 22 districts. No 1 is the very city centre, no 2-9 and 20 are also close. This system has it's limits but as a rule of thumb: When looking for accomodation, check its postal code as it tells you about the proximity to the inner city 1010 = 1. district, 1020 = 2. district, 1210 = 21. district, ect.
4-public transport is a good bet. Buses, subways, ect bring you everywhere and are reasonably priced for Western European standards. A 24-h-ticket is good choice if you have several stops during a day.
The yellow and blue rental bikes which you find all over the inner city districts are your sunshine alternative. You can register with your credit card, the first hour is always free - enough to go from A to B.
5- As you travel in June, the Summer Stage might be already open. It's a nice terrace at the Donau, good food, always busy with locals.
The restaurants / bars at the Museumsquartier (MQ) are also recommendable if you wanna get a summer feel for Vienna - plenty of young people & students, often live acts or artists around.
Have fun,
lobopequeno Mostly miss the great possibilities for long distance runners in and around Vienna. Run the Prater and completely forget that you are in larger city.
Picture shows the Giant Wheel, Prater.

Walk the old city at night and admire the palaces and structure in the night light. Funny, running into a Spaniard at a bar and chatting for hours in Spanish, but of course, about Vienna and its people!

by Krystynn
explore the grounds and garden of the famed Belvedere Palace - Prince Eugene of Savoy's palatial residence. Yes, this Baroque era Palace and its amazing combination of royal apartments, gardens AND art galleries is a must-see when visiting Vienna. Grab your cameras now and strike your best poses!! :-)) Oh, and please note it's opening hours too (very important!):
Open: Tuesdays through Sundays; from 10:00AM - 05:00PM.
explore the entire Ringstraße...
by Krystynn
explore the entire Ringstraße area... and see the many magnificent buildings located there. Amongst those not-to-be-missed landmarks include the Parliament, City Hall, Burgtheater and Kunsthistorisches Museum.
Photo Below: Here's a photo of the City Hall. Nice! Did you know that the Austrian Parliament Building was designed by Danish architect, Theophil von Hansen, using a Greek temple as his inspiration?
Today, it is definitely one of the most magnificent buildings on the Ringstraße. Don't miss the eye-catching Pallas Athena Fountain in front of the building's driveway. Cool.
