Tours<\/a> to Vienna for 5 days from Moscow provide a wonderful opportunity to escape from the daily routine and explore the capital of Austria<\/a>. You don't even need to take a vacation<\/a> for this trip. You can schedule your trip around holidays<\/a>. Let's talk about when it is better to visit Vienna and what is worth see<\/a>ing in it.<\/p>\n

When is the best time to fly to Vienna<\/a><\/h2>\n

In order to answer this question, you must decide – what interest<\/a>s you? High sea<\/a>son. If you want to go sightseeing<\/a>, head to the Austrian capital in May or September. These months are the most favorable in terms of climate. There is no heat, but the air is warm enough to make tour<\/a>ists feel comfortable. Summer is high seas<\/a>on. Prices<\/a> are rising in hotels<\/a>, at the box office – queues. Vienna at this time is visited by millions of tourists<\/a>: both wealthy, booking expensive hotels, and those who prefer cheap bus tours<\/a> and accommodation in hostels. Business sea<\/a>son. From September to June, businessmen come to Vienna – after all, this city<\/a> is conside<\/a>red one of the best for business<\/a> activities. A significant part of the places in hotels are occupied by entrepreneurs from around the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Musical and ballroom seas<\/a>ons. If you want to visit the famous Opera House, do not plan your tour for July and August. The theater is closed during these months. Remember that there is always a full house here, and the price of a ticket for the premiere reaches several hundred euros. The ball season lasts from New Year to Easter. During this period, you can visit the most magnificent and noisy festivities, and dance the Viennese waltzes yourself in costumes of past centuries. As for festivals and car<\/a>nivals, they take place in Vienna throughout the year. Low season. Considering that more than 10 million tourists visit Vienna every year, including about 300 thousa<\/a>nd of our compatriots, it is quite difficult to single out the “low” season here. The Austrian capital receives the smallest number of guests from October<\/a> to mid-December, and from February to mid-April. At this time, you can get a discount on hotel accommodation – from 10 to 25%. The most economical travel<\/a> option is bus tour<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

Seasons in Vienna. Spring in Vienna is early, but it is characterized by temperature differences. In March it can be rainy and windy, in April the number of sunny days<\/a> increases, gardens bloom, tulips bloom, and in May Vienna plunges into purple clouds of blooming lilacs. This is the best time for walking<\/a>. Summer in Vienna is hot, so bring a hat and sunglasses. It is advisable to choose<\/a> a hotel room with air conditioning. But don't forget about the umbrella. The largest amount of precipitation in the capital of Austria falls in July and August. The beginning of autumn is the “velvet season”. The heat is receding, the weather<\/a> is warm and pleasant. But in October, the air temperature can drop sharply, in November<\/a> frosts already occur. Winter in Vienna is not too cold, but there is quite a lot of snow. It may also rain, so an umbrella in the luggage will not be superfluous.<\/p>\n

How to<\/a> buy an inexpensive tour to Vienna for 5 days from Moscow<\/h2>\n

\"To<\/a><\/p>\n

Buying an inexpensive tour to Vienna for 3 or 5 days from Moscow is easy. If you have a desire to go on a trip spontaneously, you can purchase a “burning” tour, with a departure in 1-2 days. As a rule, such tours are sold much cheaper. If you are planning a vacation in advance and want to save money, carefully study the offers of travel<\/a> agencies. And take advantage of the early booking promotion, which is the most economically beneficial. And remember that a special place is occupied by New Year and Christmas<\/a> tours<\/a>. They are rarely cheap: the festive program, as a rule, includes a banquet and entertainment<\/a> events.<\/p>\n

Which hotel to choose<\/a> in Vienna<\/h2>\n

\"To<\/a><\/p>\n

When planning a tour to Vienna, you can choose a hotel<\/a> based on your taste and financial capabilities. The most modest option is a hostel – young people and students usually stay in such a mini-dormitory. The best choice for those who appreciate comfort, but do not want to overpay, would be a 3-star hotel. Of course, transport<\/a> in Austria works great, but in order not to waste time on the road and money on travel tickets, it is better to choose a hotel in the city center<\/a>, next to the metro station.<\/p>\n

How long is the flight from Moscow to Vienna?<\/h2>\n

The most comfortable, direct flight from Moscow is carried out by both domestic Aeroflot aircraft and foreign companies<\/a>. The flight lasts approximately 2 hours 40 minutes. You can choose a flight with one, two or three transfer<\/a>s. Accordingly, you will be on the road from 4 to 26 hours. In some cases, this allows you to save on tickets, but the road can be tiring. Especially with three transfers: in this option, in addition to the plane<\/a>, you will have to use both the train and the bus.<\/p>\n

A lot can be done in 5 days in the capital of Austria. On the one hand, you will see the main sights<\/a> of Vienna, on the other hand, you will be able to plan the program so that there is time for rest<\/a> in the evening.

Reviews<\/a> of tourists about the rest in Vienna<\/h2>\n

I have already visited almost all European countries<\/a>, but I am going to Vienna for the second time. It seems to me that this is where people live best. I stay in small hotels: why spend money on luxury apartments if you only come late in the evening to spend the night. It is best to start exploring the capital of Austria from the buildings of the town hall and the Parliament. Ancient, majestic, they make a huge impression. My daughter and I spent a lot of time in city parks. They are very beautiful, they are looked after with German pedantry. Carved benches, fountains<\/a>… And my daughter liked most of all that she could run around the lawns and even lie down on them to rest. Be sure to visit the Hofburg. He's huge! I was surprise<\/a>d that there is a museum of Empress Sissi here. Recently I watched a film about her – and now I had the opportunity to see things and objects, associated with her. It was not possible to get into the Opera House – there was a premiere, and the tickets were sold out. But we enjoyed the exhibits of the Art Gallery in full. And of course, we drank the famous Viennese coffee every day, took either strudel or cakes with whipped cream to it. Anna Ganyushkina.<\/p>\n

\"To<\/a><\/p>\n

I am visiting Vienna for the second time. The city is expensive, but worth it. I try to save money<\/a>: I buy travel tickets for three days, I get to some museums on days when visits are free – usually these are the first Sundays of the month. In addition to sights<\/a>eeing – such as St. Stephen's Cathedral, I am not ashamed to admit my love for the simplest pleasures. For example, I really enjoyed cycling in the Prater park. It is old, and there are not booths, like ours, but closed trailers. So the spirit of fear does not capture, but the review is excellent. And it's better to take the whole day to explore the Belvedere – there is a huge park, a palace, a fountain with sculptures, and a zoo. Be a little child and enjoy all this beauty.

Beautiful Vienna – the musical and cultural center<\/a> of Europe – is waiting for you.<\/p>\n
