By day and night, Vienna permanently shines in a light of grandeur and refinement. It is a city of opulent palaces, pristine museum collections and shop windows where the price tags on clothing could pay for small cars. However Vienna is not an untouchable city for those on a budget. It might look too expensive from the outside, but within, Austria\u2019s capital litters with discounts and cheap offers. On airberlin\u2019s European winter tour, I uncovered a few tips and tricks for saving in Vienna.
\n
\nExperience The Opera For Under \u20ac10<\/strong>: With a rich tradition for music, Vienna\u2019s State Opera House glows in the evening hours, filling with those who have forked over a pretty penny to catch a performance. Travelers don\u2019t have to hand over their wallet at the ticket counter. Rather, you can attend the opera in Vienna for under \u20ac10. The Vienna State Opera House offers up standing seats. Standing room tickets are sold 80 minutes before curtains time.
\n
\nTake advantage of Free WiFi<\/strong>: If you need to call home or perhaps answer a few emails while you are in Vienna, you could fork over some of your budget by frequenting an Internet caf\u00e9 or paying the hotel\u2019s steep charges for WiFi. However, Vienna would rather have you spend your loose change on a coffee than an Internet connection. The city features Freewave<\/a> WiFi at a number of places in town. The Austrian WiFi hotspot supplies WiFi to many different places in Vienna, from cafes to tourist attractions like Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace. The easy and quick connection makes it possible to take in Vienna\u2019s sights and sounds, all while keeping connected and not spending a cent.
\n
\nStroll The Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace Gardens Without Cost<\/strong>: While a ticket inside the glowing Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace will set you back in price, the grounds are free to roam. Opened to the public in 1779, the Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace Gardens feature a number of gardens, fountains and more. The grounds of the palace stretch 1.2 kilometers east to west and 1 kilometer north to south. Parents push baby strollers and tourists snap photographs throughout the baroque designed gardens, creating a mixed scene in Vienna. The Sch\u00f6nbrunn Palace Gardens are not just for the tourists to get lost in, but also a sort of local hangout to relax amidst the imperial summer palace.
\n
\nAppreciate Discounts and Unlimited Transport With The Vienna Card<\/strong>: While some city cards can offer very little to travelers for the price, the Vienna Card is certainly an exception. It features over 210 discounts at museums, concerts, shops and cafes. The card also includes unlimited free travel on the underground, bus and tram for 72 hours. This feature appeals especially in the wintertime in Vienna when the wind hits in dramatic fashion. You can hop on a tram or down to the metro without having to walk in the cold. The card does cost \u20ac19.90 euros, but the discounts around town seem endless. Those who purchase the card will receive a book listing all of those price slashes throughout Vienna\u2019s museums, sights, music scene and shopping opportunities.<\/p>\n
