Venturing into Vienna's Lesser-Known Hotspots
Vienna has a great number of famous landmarks and attractions, all of which draw in thousands of visitors every single year. But there are also some lesser-known areas that offer the perfect opportunity to get to know more about the local lifestyle.
Start by visiting Hundertwasser House, one of the city's more secret architectural wonders. Bursting with a flurry of bright colours, you'd could be mistaken for thinking this was a large painting adorning the street. It is, in fact, an apartment block designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, a well-known and celebrated Austrian painter. Built between 1983 and 1985, it boasts trees growing inside the apartments and a hidden roof garden.
For another lesser-visited architectural delight, head to the Republic of Kugelmugel. This eye-catching round house is considered to be its own republic and is set inside a park after being moved from its initial home on a hillside. Built by Edwin Lipburger, an Austrian artist, it was his way of cutting himself off from the city after having a bad experience with building permits.
To really get a feel for Vienna's atmosphere, head to the quiet streets of Taborstrasse, a peaceful and beautiful district of the city. It's also known as the Jewish District, and boasts a flurry of characterful architecture, quirky shops, and open-air markets.

Arriving in Vienna -- How to Get From the Airport to the City Centre
Vienna's international airport is located about 12 miles outside of the city centre and offers a number of different options to get into town.
You can hop on the cheap and cheerful S7 commuter train which runs from the airport to Wien Mitte. It's a great introduction into local life and is extremely budget friendly. Alternatively there's the City Airport train. It travels the same route as the S7 but in half the time. It also costs considerably more than the local train but, if you're in a hurry it's the perfect option.
Then there's the CAT bus service that offers three lines from the airport to different locations around the city. It tends to be quicker and cheaper than the trains depending on traffic, and is a great way to catch a glimpse of the city as you arrive.
