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.
