Beč: Europe's friendliest city delights tourists worldwide!

Vienna is celebrating another impressive success: According to a recent survey by the British magazine Condé Nast Traveler, the Austrian capital was named the friendliest city in Europe. Over 180,000 British citizens shared their travel experiences, highlighting the warm hospitality and special charm of Vienna. This puts Vienna ahead of renowned competition, including cities such as Florence, Reykjavik, San Sebastián and Lisbon. Vienna ranks second on the global list, behind only Quitao in Ecuador. What's particularly pleasing is that the city also ranks third among the best cities to visit in Europe, after Valletta and Oslo, and ninth in the world. This success is reflected in the comment of Norbert Kettner, the director of Vienna Tourism: His “charming compliment” for the city underlines its attraction to tourists not only from Great Britain but from all over the world.

The decision to choose Vienna was based not only on the diverse cultural landscape, but also on the variety of attractions. From the majestic Hofburg to the impressive St. Stephen's Cathedral to the charming Prater - Vienna's sights are as diverse as they are impressive. The opera and the Art History Museum are just a few highlights that attract visitors from all over the world to the city. These culinary and cultural aspects also make Vienna a popular city for British holidaymakers, who found the city easy to access and extremely welcoming.

Vienna as a tourist highlight

Among the city's attractions, the Prater stands out - a huge amusement park with over 250 attractions that offers free entry. For a small price, visitors can look forward to rides and other experiences. The Danube Tower and the beautifully designed gardens of Schönbrunn Palace are also attractions that should not be missed. Another cultural treat is the Albertina, which houses more than a million works of art and also offers online ticket purchase to avoid long queues.

The excellent ratings of Vienna are reflected not only in the survey, but also in the numerous positive reviews that describe the city as green, inviting and warm-hearted. Many tourists rave about their experience, and the range of historical and cultural experiences seems endless.
