Vienna: In 7th place in the best stopover cities worldwide!
In a recent study by the Australian travel insurance AllClearTravel, Vienna has established itself as one of the best cities for a stopover. The analysis of over 80 traffic hubs shows that the federal capital takes seventh place with an impressive "stopover score" of 72.9 out of 100 points. This makes the city an interesting destination for travelers who want to make an intermediate landing.
The study assessed various factors that are crucial for a pleasant stay. This includes, for example, pedestrian friendliness, the travel time from the airport to the city center, the costs for an overnight stay in a four-star hotel and the distances between the main states. Vienna scores not only with its short journey time from the airport to the city center of just 16 minutes, but also with an impressive walk -in of only 485 meters between the most important attractions, which are usually just under five kilometers apart.
What makes Vienna so attractive?
Top televisions that attract many tourists include Schönbrunn Castle and St. Stephen's Cathedral. The current average daily expenses for travelers in Vienna are around 51 AUD (approx. 28 euros), while an overnight stay in a four-star hotel costs around 243 AUD (approx. 136 euros). The good price-performance ratio is another plus that catapults into Vienna in the ranking of the stopover cities.
But not only Vienna is very popular. In the overall ranking, Frankfurt am Main is at the top with 78.3 points, followed by Doha (75.4) and Atlanta (74.5). In addition to these cities there are also Copenhagen, Warsaw, Dublin, Baltimore, Amsterdam and Zurich among the top ten stopover goals. The situation for some US cities, on the other hand, is not exactly shiny with Houston, which has achieved the worst value of only 40.6 points.
The dark side of travel: Skiplagging
The demand for information on ski plagging has increased by 108 percent in recent weeks, which indicates that more and more travelers are looking for ways to reduce costs. Nevertheless, experts urgently warn against trying this risky strategy, as there can quickly be a loss of loyalty points, a ban on airlines or even legal steps, as an incident with Lufthansa shows.
In summary, it can be said that Vienna not only blooms as a stopover city, but should also take measures to make travelers tasty the advantages of a stopover, while they are also pointed out to the pitfalls of modern travel.
The diversity and culture of the Austrian capital are perfect to optimally use the time between flights. So the next time you stop near Vienna could consider not only looking at the city fleetingly, but also making the best of the visit.
