how is life in vienna, austria?

willkommen...

austria is another place near the top of my wish list, although i admit its actually more of the alps i am looking forward to. still, i am sure it will be really nice to spend a couple of days in the capital. vienna, the capitol of austria, is a very large city of over 1.7 million people. it is known as the "music capitol of the world" and home to the vienna boys choir. some of the attractions i know are include schonbrunn palace, hofburg and heldenplatz, museums. go here for more info.

so for those looking for accomodations there, CheaperthanHotels.co.uk guranteed to provide good rates at a cheap price. its not just have special rates for hotels in vienna (opss!... sorry. click here for the english version), but also continents of europe, asia, oceania, pacific and US, canada, south america as well as south africa. the big cities that are covered include london, manchester, paris, barcelona, madrid, rome, new york, miami, chicago and los angeles, also kuala lumpur, singapore, hong kong, adelaide, auckland, sydney, melbourne and brisbane. in fact the site also offers worldwide hotel group bookings for meetings, conferences, events, weddings, parties. find out more about it here.

whatever it is vienna is still in my mind. here's some of the links i found, with great pics (in no particular orders). viel Vergnügen!
