Vienna
Tourist Offices - It is well worth visiting
a Tourist Office during your stay in Vienna. You can
find out up to date information on tours, exhibitions,
special shows etc. In addition you can pick up literature
on sightseeing, special tours, and so on. For Vienna
it is particularly important because you will be able
to get the latest information on concerts and musical
happenings, particularly in the classical arena. The
same applies to sports events, football matches, tennis
events, etc, as it is sometimes difficult to suss
these out before you leave home. The Tourist
Offices will also advise you about buying
Vienna concert tickets.
Of course if you still need accommodation, etc on
arrival in Vienna, the Tourist Office in the Airport
will be able to help you. They will also explain to
you about The Vienna Card (reduced
admission to leading attractions, discounts on tours,
trips, shops, as well as all public transport for
three days).
Another benefit of a visit to a Tourist Office
is to browse through the many leaflets and pamphlets
– these can often suggest an unusual event or
sightseeing opportunity that you mightn’t otherwise
think of.
The staff in Vienna Tourist Offices
are very helpful there is always someone with excellent
English to assist you. If you discuss your ideas and
interests with them, they will provide you with much
and varied information. It is also helpful if you
tell them where you are staying as they may be able
to advise you on local events and happenings.
It is likely that your own home country has a Austrian
Tourist facility linked to their Embassy, you should
check this out as they can send you interesting brochures,
information on what’s on during your visit,
etc.
