If your trip to Vienna is all organized but your itinerary is looking a bit empty, we can give you a helping hand.Think of Vienna and then say the first thing that pops into your head. Bet you said “Schoenbrunn Palace,” right? Being such a famous landmark, you just can’t miss it. Hurl your luggage into the back seat and tick it off your bucket list.Take in the best that this city has to offer by adding Burgtheater and Austrian Parliament Building to your travel schedule. If you have some spare time, take a look at Spanish Riding School and Hofburg Imperial Palace too.Plan a stop at Vienna Christmas Market. It’s one attraction you’ll usually find on most visitors’ to-do lists. Naschmarkt and Stephansplatz are also not far away and worth a detour.

After spending hours rubbing shoulders with like-minded individuals, it’s always great to be able to put your feet up somewhere nearby. If you’re traveling to Vienna primarily for business, here are some of the top convention centers that are close to hotels and restaurants:

• Palais Daun-Kinsky (0.1 miles away).
• Stadthalle (2 miles away).
• Messe Wien Exhibition and Congress Center (2 miles away).

Vienna — so many things to see and do, not enough time. Schoenbrunn Palace is merely the tip of the iceberg. That’s why a rental car makes sense. Discover more of the iconic sights of this vibrant city with a mini or an economy car. Bumper-to-bumper traffic, one-way streets, detours, and dead ends are all the easier with little runabouts like these. But if you’d rather cruise around in more serious style, why not grab the keys to a convertible? Ideal for soaking up the good weather and scenery, you can head out to the snowfields of the region with the top down and the wind blowing through your hair.

You’ll be happy to hear that there’s a great range of both high-end and economy rentals in Vienna. What you go with will depend on how much you want to spend and the activities you’ve got planned. Prestige vehicles often spare no expense when it comes to comfort and class. If you want to treat yourself, why not pick up a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a flashy medium-sized sedan? Otherwise, if you just need a set of wheels to get you from A to B as cheaply as possible, we can help you out with an economy compact vehicle (or something else that won’t break the bank).

Finding a car space in Vienna shouldn’t be too difficult. Of course, it depends on the time and place — you may find it tricky parking in the very center during peak periods.
