Best Vienna-Wieden holiday apartments

Vienna is a stunning capital city, once the centre of a powerful empire and this is reflected in its Imperial architecture and atmosphere. Wieden lies just to the southwest of the city centre and is the 4th district of Vienna. It is also the oldest, dating from the 12th century and attracts many artists and students to live here. With a holiday apartment in Wieden you could soon be joining them, experiencing this magnificent city from a more human perspective and getting to know the local people along with the grand sights. Renting holiday accommodation in Wieden from 9flats is much like couchsurfing in Wieden but with the added benefits of more comfort and privacy in your own room or apartment. Your holiday apartment in Wieden allows you to experience unique, locally owned properties at less than the price of a tourist hotel room.

Exploring from your holiday apartment in Wieden

Vienna has many sights to explore and is a delight for any visitor. The Stephansdom is a must for a photo opportunity and is the city’s most prominent Gothic buidling. The Hofburg Palace complex is another must-see destination, where you can see the Imperial Apartments and visit the Albartina Museum. If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Vienna in an area with its own character, then Wieden is an excellent choice. It has many fine buildings and also a pleasingly Bohemian atmosphere, assisted no doubt by the presence of the University. Just outside the city centre, it is a perfect base for your visit to Vienna.

An alternative to your holiday accommodation in Wieden

Just next door to Wieden, a holiday apartment in Margareten will provide you with yet another different experience of this great city. Margareten and Wieden used to form the same district to the southwest of the city centre but have long since parted company. That is perhaps a good thing as it allows each to develop its own character. Whereas Wieden is slightly grand and bourgeois, if a little Bohemian too, Margareten is far more gritty and urban in character. This is a densely populated area, which is still more working class than Wieden. It is experiencing a process of gentrification though and now boasts lots of bars, cafes and shops with an air of young urban chic.

Moving on from Wieden

The Austrian cities of Vienna and Salzburg are easily the most grand but a holiday apartment in Linz will give you a different impression of the country. Here you will find a confident, modern city and a centre of modern art. If clubbing is your thing, it is said that Linz has the best nightlife in Austria. Leaving the country, a short trip north could take you to a holiday apartment in Berlin where you can experience nightlife that would leave even Linz behind, while you explore one of the most important cities in recent European history.
