Tourist Trap: Schloss Schönbrunn

    • Schönbrunn is jam-packed with tourists - especially the Gloriette Café. If you want to enjoy it at its best and with smaller crowds, go in the early spring.

    Alternative: Instead of the Café at the Gloriette, get the U4 to Hietzing and head for Dommayer.

    • Vienna - Riesenrad

    • It may be older than the London Eye and it may have become famous from its starring role in "The Third Man" but the Riesenrad is over-priced for a mediocre view. The visitors centre is also not really much to write home about and the souvenir shop is the most appalling tat emporium in Vienna.

    At Least Do This: Go on a day when it is not hazy - the view is not outstanding, but if hazy you'll not see anything.
    Alternative: Go up to Kahlenberg - or up to the Gloriette - the views over Vienna are free and much better.

     Looking forward to 5 days in Wien in December - will definitely return to your page later! Greetings from snowy Tromsø, ~Mette    		andaya Sat Sep 22, 2007 09:58 UTC
     Very disappointed, cafe is bad or unless not so good as one expect to be and very expensive. And cakes are good (as in many other confectioner´s shops in Europe) but not excellent
