Vienna Spring 2025 - Part 1

Vienna

 

Friday - June 20th 2025

 

After we returned from our bike tour, we still had a couple of days left of our holiday and so we decided to spend the weekend in Austria's capital city. Along the way we stopped at McDonald's for a late breakfast and around noon we arrived at our hotel. We stayed at the Austria Trend Hotel Doppio, our prefered hotel in Vienna, becuase it's conveniently located near the highway and the inner city is just a short tram ride away. Once we checked in and dropped off our luggage in our room, we headed to Gleis//Garten, a food hall with its own brewery located in an old railway building. There we had late lunch and of course we had to try some beers from the local brewery.

In the afternoon we spent some time shopping at Kärntner Strasse in the inner city. For dinner we had a reservation at a vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant, but first we enjoyed a couple of drinks at Sky Bar overlooking St. Stephan's Cathedral. Then it was time for our reservation and we were on our way to Vevi Restaurant. We ate there already last year and it was as delicious as we remembered. Afterwards we just strolled around Vienna and got ice cream before returning to the hotel.

Our second day started with breakfast at the hotel and then we took the tram into the city. Our first stop was Starbucks followed by Superfood Deli, where we got some iced coffees and smoothies to be prepared for a day of shopping at Mariahilfer Straße. For lunch we stopped at Xu's Cooking, a vegetarian Chinese buffet restaurant, before returning to the hotel to relax a bit, since it got pretty warm.

In the afternoon we headed to Prater, one of the oldest amusement parks in the world. There a new rollercoaster had just opened and of course I had to try it. Wiener Lopping was a lot of fun, although it could have been a little bit longer. Then we just took a walk through the fun fair before taking the metro back into the inner city. There we tried an awful vegetarian burger at Hab's Burger, but luckily we stopped at the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner a couple of minutes later. We had a couple of drinks before ordering nachos to share. Later on the way back to the hotel we got ice cream and back in our rooms we called it a day and watched TV.
