Vienna in autumn: Tips for an unforgettable weekend in 2025!

Vienna, the city of music, art and historical splendor, not only attracts visitors with its cultural diversity, but also offers excellent opportunities for an unforgettable weekend. Anyone visiting the Austrian capital in 2025 will be spoiled for choice between luxurious five-star hotels and charming budget accommodation.

Hotels for every budget

A highlight is the real gem that Instyle recommends: the Anantara Palais Hansen Vienna. Located in a historic building from 1873 on Ringstrasse, it combines high, warm rooms with a modern flair. Guests can expect a regional welcome drink upon check-in, while regional delicacies are served with a low-waste approach in the star-rated restaurant Edvard. For the perfect end to the day, Theo’s Bar & Lounge invites you to enjoy cocktails and Viennese coffee house classics.

The Sissi West in the 14th district offers a real budget alternative. Here, a hotel, studio, co-working space and event space merge in a historic building from 1870. Not only is it modern and inspiring, but it is also close to the famous Schönbrunn Palace and the U4 Hietzing station - perfect for a visit to the beautiful gardens.

Enjoyable Vienna in the morning

If you want to start your day in Vienna properly, you have numerous options. Salzi, a young concept café, serves plant-based comfort food, perfect for a healthy breakfast. The Café Ansari, on the other hand, tempts with its classic Viennese breakfast in a Mediterranean setting, while in the Servitenviertel, also known as “Little Paris”, small boutiques and cafés invite you to linger. Another insider tip is the French bistro La Mercerie, famous for its croissants and patisserie.

A relaxed lunch

At midday, many people head out into nature. A bike tour with WienMobil along Prater Hauptallee or a walk through Augarten are just some of the fresh options. A visit to the Heurigen am Nussberg, where young Viennese wine can be enjoyed, or a trip to the Naschmarkt with its colorful market stalls that present international delicacies ensure a true Viennese tradition.

An atmospheric evening program

In the evening, culinary Vienna opens up to guests in all its splendor. Neni offers oriental-inspired cuisine with family hospitality, while Pizza Bussi Ciao reinterprets traditional pizza with a Viennese twist. Ramasuri also impresses with creative Viennese cuisine and friendly service. To round off the day, we recommend a last drink or snack in Theo’s Bar in Anantara, where there is even a schnitzel on the menu.

Service and information for visitors

For all those who are in Vienna for the first time, the guest services team Wien.info offers competent advice and helpful tips. The Tourist Information is available at two central locations – in the city center and at the airport. Here you can not only get city maps and brochures, but you can also buy the official Vienna City Card.
