Pötzleinsdofer Park is a beautiful old park with free roaming deer and a little petting zoo. It also offers a huge play ground and is very popular by the locals. The roots of the park date back to the 13th century. In 1801 it was re-designed by Konrad Rosenthal, a famous gardener of the former aristocracy. He built little ponds and planted exotic trees (redwood trees). Today you also find statues and a temple in this beautiful park. You may reach this park within 15 minutes by foot.

If you want to do a hiking trip in the forest I recommend a trip to "Häuserl am Stoan". In about 45 min you can reach this little hut which offers typical local food and beverages. It is very popular on sunny weekends. From there you may continue to a place called "Am Himmel" with the restaurant "Oktogon" (1 h 15 min) with a good view and "Cobenzl" (restaurant, farm, very nice view over Vienna, bus stop) (1 h 30 min). In 2 h 15 min you can reach Kahlenberg with a spectacular view over most of Vienna. If you walk down again towards the city you pass by vineyards and finally reach the Heurigen Area of Grinzing (3 h). There you should take the tram 38 and then bus 35A to get back.

There are many Heurigens in Neustift and in Vienna. Most of them have beautiful gardens but on a sunny day in the late afternoon I recommend visiting "Weinhof Zimmermann". Try to get a table in the garden with a beautiful view over the vineyards. Watch the sun set while you enjoy local wine and typical food. There is also a playground and a petting zoo. You can reach this "Heurigen" by foot in about 14 minutes.

In Vienna you will also find many Italian Ice Cream Shops. I have been in Italy many times but I even like the Vienna Italian Ice Cream better than in Italy. Zanoni & Zanoni I can recommend not only for its ice cream but also for tiramisu, profiterole and other sweets and its coffee. The biggest shop is in Lugeck 7, 1010 Vienna but there are also other Zanoni & Zanoni shops in Vienna. if you come across one of these and you like ice cream I certainly would not hesitate. ;)

Do you fancy a nice breakfast outside next to a nature park? This is what I recommend: manameierei.com It is a little restaurant that offers several different breakfast variations and some other small meals / snacks. If you drive by car it is only five minutes away. You may even walk there but it will take about 30 minutes. After about 10 minutes of walking you walk through the forest and the park for the rest of the trip. Pick a sunny day to make it worthwhile.

Arts & Culture

Austrian History becomes alive in this beautiful palace which was the summer residence of the former emperor. The Schönbrunn Palace is surrounded by a huge park. If you take a walk there you can just imagine how in former days "Sissi" or the other emperors went for a walk or did horse riding. I recommend walking up to the Gloriette where you have a nice view and may enjoy a coffee in the Cafe. The Schönbrunn Zoo and the "Palmenhaus" (huge Green House) are also worth seeing.

Entertainment & Activities

There are always different musical events at Schönbrunn Palace but once a year is special. This is when the "Wiener Philharmoniker" perform their "Sommernachtskonzert" (Summer Night Concert) in the park of Schönbrunn Palace. It is a spectacular setting in between the Palace and the Gloriette. The entrance is free of charge. If you like classical music it is certainly a highlight. And even if you don't like this type of music it is worth a trip to see the illuminated palace and Gloriette ... and perhaps after all you may like the music anyway. Typically this concert takes place in the second half of May. Check out details on http://www.sommernachtskonzert.at/.

You may have heard of the very old movie "The Third Man" which was shot in Vienna just after the second world war. The Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater, the Vienna sewers, Orson Welles and the haunting zither music of Anton Karas – Director Carol Reed presented the story of the smuggler Harry Lime, played by Orson Welles, which turns into a game of cat and mouse set in the Vienna of 1948. The third man tour takes you down to the Vienna sewer system where you can retrace the steps of Harry Lime. It is very entertaining but only from May through October. Reservations are necessary. https://www.drittemanntour.at/en/index.html
