Vienna Hotels - City Breaks in Central Europe

Vienna City Breaks: the spectacular city of Vienna, in its romantic setting on the River Danube, is world renowned for its aristocratic charm and elegance. Vienna has preserved a unique cultural heritage, derived from its illustrious past, and has fulfilled the ancient prophecy that 'the sun will never set on the Alpine republic', even though her once powerful European status has long been diminished. The city is filled with beautiful baroque architecture, inspired and created by Italian-trained craftsmen in a bid to replicate Rome between 1690 and 1740. Ornate doorways and facades, beautifully carved rooflines, the fascinating towers and columns of St Stephen's Cathedral and Karlskirche , together with the magnificent Imperial Palace (Hofburg) and Schloss Schönbrunn, are all lavish reminders of the golden age of Vienna.
