GREAT FOOD IN UFO – 85 METERS ABOVE THE GROUND


north of the Danube in Vienna. The Danube Tower is 252 meters high and offers a sensational 360-degree view of Vienna and its surroundings. Two express elevators rapidly take us to the observation platform. We like to linger up here for a while to enjoy the fantastic view. The perfect combination of sights and tastes can also be found on the Danube Tower in the tower restaurant or the café. Not only are various adventure packages on offer, you can even get married up here. A good move – after all, who can say no with this view?


Jubiläumswarte


Here we look in vain for an express elevator. At Stadtwanderweg number 4, the path to the Viennese Jubiläumswarte, locatd on the Wilheminenberg in the 16th district, is far more gradual. Even if we follow the motto “the journey is


VIVA VIENNA Praterturm


Our seat hangs from the Praterturm by only a few thin chains. The tower rotates at 60 km/h and rises almost 100 meters in the air with us – it’s definitely a thrill for the senses! If this wild ride doesn’t entirely captivate you, you can enjoy the incredible view of the Vienna Prater and the rest of the city. The Praterturm is one of the most impressive attractions of the Prater and an absolutely worthy way to conclude our search for fantastic vantage points above Vienna.

WORLD ART IN THE EMBRACE OF NATURE


The great location of the Danubiana Gallery as well as its attractive exhibitions are the two main reasons why Danubiana is being recommended by the world’s most prestigious tourist magazines and tourist portals. World-class artists such as Joan Miró, Sam Francis and Lucebert have exhibited their works here. The museum’s rooftop walk is also something that you should not miss. View of Bratislava, the Little Carpathians and the majestic Danube River at sunset is an unforgettable experience.


THE FAVOURITE CITY OF MARIA THERESA Bratislava castle, shaped like an inverted


table, has witnessed many historical events. Today, after extensive renovations, it is once again a Baroque residence, the same as when Maria Theresa ruled over it in the 18th century. Its courtyards are now alive with classical music concerts and theater performances. Enjoy one of the most beautiful views of the city from its eastern terrace. From here it is only a stone’s throw to the Baroque French garden restored according to the original plans of Maria Theresa’s architect.


EUROPE’S SECOND GREENEST METROPOLIS


Greenery has always been a priority for Bratislava. One of the oldest public parks in Central Europe is Janko Kráľ Park on the Petržalka’s side of the Danube. You can wander among its trees,


admire


the massive two hundred years old sycamores or find a statue of your zodiac sign. Other parks in the city center with a long tradition include the Medic Garden, the Mountain Park or the Presidential Garden.


TRADITIONAL ART IN A MODERN QUARTER


The combination of the promenade, the shopping center, the waterfront and the theater square is an exceptional urban element.


The neighbourhood,


which has grown into a modern center of Bratislava, also features the new building of the Slovak National Theater, cladded with white travertine, and the Eurovea shopping center. Here you will find not only fashionable brands but also cafes or restaurants on the pleasant promenade on the Danube riverbank overlooking Bratislava Castle.
