Vienna

Book a luxury holiday to Vienna and enjoy a fabulous break in a great city. We can help you make the most of your time in Vienna with knowledge of the best sights and access to beautiful accommodation ideal for a luxury city break.

It doesn’t take long, on arriving in the centre of Vienna, to realise that this majestic town must have been at the heart of a grand dynasty. And indeed it was, of course, the capital of Europe’s sprawling Austrian empire that for centuries dominated the continent’s political scene.

And all that grandeur, that pomp and hauteur can still be seen today in the magnificent buildings that line the famous Ring boulevard which encircles the old town.  Massive and austere, they still command respect as they did from the days when the Emperor and his Court scurried from Palace to Palace administering their vast territories. In the Hofburg Palace marvel at the jewels and regalia of this all powerful dynasty, whilst at St Stephen’s Cathedral remember that the building, like the whole of the centre, was smashed almost to the ground by allied bombing in WWII.  

For there is a lot of dynamism in the city now, a younger population, fresh ideas…we tend to think of Mozart and Brahms, of Strauss with his melodious waltzes, but there are exciting developments perhaps best expressed by the Museum Quarter, a brilliant new complex that brings together the city’s artistic heritage.  This new Vienna, no longer capital of an empire but redefining itself at the epicentre of Europe, dazzles under a summer sun as it glitters in the winter under a canopy of snow. 

The Rocksure Vienna apartment is an ideal place to enjoy a luxury holiday in Vienna. The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom luxury apartment is impeccably furnished and in a great location.

Enjoy this wonderful city – at once grand and exuberant, closed and secretive – and be sure to enjoy a fine chocolate cake in an opulent café!
