This was very enjoyable especially as it was so close to the Rathaus Christmas Markets. This is where we went for dinner wonderful experience in the evening and still not too crowded in Late November. The staff were really great very helpful and with good suggestions. Like not buying a Vienna Card just buy a 24 hour transport card and only pay for things you want to see. The only thing I didn't like and it is not the hotels' fault is all the gadgets.
