My Trip to Vienna, Austria

Period : 11th - 16th February 2016

The Belvedere

★ Travel Agent H.I.S
Price → Around JPY180,000± for 2 people including travel insurance and private airport transfer to our hotel
Review → I booked the package online and made payment with a credit card. The website was user friendly and I got confirmation straight away. For this particular package the airline and hotel is chosen by the travel agent but they do have a set list to choose from and you can choose the star rating of the hotel you want. A week before the trip we received our travel package which included the e-ticket and hotel information.

★ Flight : Turkish Airlines
Osaka - Istanbul - Vienna
Vienna - Istanbul - Osaka
Price → Included in the travel agent package
Review → The flight itself was uneventful and as expected the food was delicious. The seats were average sized and we took off and arrived on time.

★ Accommodation : Novum Hotel Kavalier
Price →  Included in the travel agent package
Review → The room was spacious and looked out on to the main road but because we were not in the city center it never got loud at night which I am thankful for. The hotel breakfast is basic but was enough.

★ Schedule

We ended up switching around a few items while we were there & I left Monday blank just in case.

Getting around Vienna is very easy with their subway/trams. We got the 3 day pass, if I'm not mistaken. It came with a coupon book and maps.

Information on some of the sights.

★ Extras
Apple Strudel Show at Schönbrunn Palace link
The show was very fun and the pastry chef had a bright personality. Grab a hot chocolate and enjoy the show!

Austrian Parliament Building Guided Tour link
I learnt so much from our guide. He was friendly, really knew his stuff and was open to all sorts of questions throughout the tour. A must do in Vienna!
