But Austria's heart beats to the north-east on the Danube, in the ancien regime city of Vienna. More maps... The imperial city is a popular choice of destination on backpacker travel itineraries alongside Amsterdam, Rome and Barcelona. But the Austrian capital has a fickle appeal. With cake shops instead of sports bars and mid-range pensions instead of easygoing hostels, Vienna feels very different from Prague or Budapest.While some fall in love with the seat of the Habsburg emperors, others find the city stuffy, a little dull and tiresomely expensive. That said, the Austrian capital's cultural treasures are undeniably impressive.And Vienna is certainly a good transport hub with easy connections to the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, in less than an hour and Budapest in Hungary and Brno in the Czech Republic only a little more distant.

AskChrisKnight.com HOME :: Travel-and-Leisure / Vacation-Rentals Where Will You Spend Your European Vacation? By Kent Krueger Article Word Count: 377 [ View Summary ] Comments (0) European vacations are once again popular choices among the traveling crowd. Fears of traveling overseas have subsided and global tensions have cooled. A European vacation has much to offer but in particular, it offers an opportunity to learn more about the culture and the rich history of these interesting and glamorous people. Planning your European vacation need not be difficult. Once you determine the length of your vacation, the fun part is deciding where to spend your time. Compared with other continents, Europe is compact, and crossing borders into other countries is relatively easy provided you remember to bring a valid passport! Each country has its own draw, which can complicate your European vacation itinerary. For example, you can head to Italy where you can retrace the steps of the Ancient Romans. You can enjoy an exhilarating ski vacation in Australia or Switzerland. You can travel through the streets of England for a fun-filled evening of pub-hopping. You might travel to one of the many Greek isles where you can sit back in an ancient arena and experience an open-air performance. For a truly unique memory, nothing beats a tour of the magnificent castles that dot the German countryside. You can even spend your time doing nothing except taking in the sights and sounds of the cosmopolitan French Riviera. When packing for your European vacation, be sure to bring along a converter or adapter for your electrical items, a camera, a money bag, some Euros, and as mentioned previously, your passport. Bring along an empty duffle bag or collapsible suitcase so that youll have room to bring back all your goodies. Even if you dont plan to shop while on vacation, you will. Its an irresistible experience. Finally, bring along an appetite, because in Europe, youll experience some of the finest cuisine ever.
