The three most amazing ice skating places in Vienna
The eastern part of Austria is still waiting for snow and the real winter. But although it has about plus six degrees outside, there are some possibilities of practicing winter sport activities, like ice skating. Vienna offers diversifying places, ranging from indoor to outdoor ones with a unique view over the city.
The most special one is probably ‘Wilhelminenberg on Ice’, where you can skate in the palace garden of Wilhelminenberg, over the roofs of Vienna. You can enjoy this unique and gorgeous view until mid of January; it’s opened everyday until 9pm.If you prefer a place more centrally located, visit the Viennese Ice Skating Union. It is located near Stadtpark, between Inter-Continental and Konzerthaus. The frozen surface is 6000 square metres big and the Union offers also teachers, courses or dance evenings. Moreover you can borrow ice skates there, if you don’t have your own. This ice skating place is open until the beginning of March, everyday until 9 or 8 pm.
The Ice Dream in front of the Viennese Rathaus offers a very special ambience. Beside ice skating and curling you can buy hot wine punch to warm yourself a little bit up. The whole Rathauspark turns into a paradise of ice, and a 415 metres long alley leads you through a winter fairy-tale. The Viennese Ice Dream opens on January 19th 2012, at 7pm starts the big opening evening. The ice skating park is open until March 4th.
There are also a few more great ice skating places in Vienna, visit and explore them – it will be a great experience! It’s also perfect for city travellers, because at most of them you can borrow skates and need not to bring your own.If you still need accommodation for your stay in Vienna, contact viennaresidence - business rental apartments. The agency will help you finding your perfect apartment in Vienna.

Vienna now and prospective – The quality and congress city develops further
We know already that living in Vienna is pretty good. This was proven by the Mercer-study in 2010, when the Danube metropolis arises the second time as the city with the highest living quality. In the survey from the “Economist Intelligence Unit” Vienna is successful too. According to the “Livability Ranking Report” from August 2011 Austria’s capital city reserves the second rank of the top-destinations worldwide. Ambitious goals will also be met in the future, especially in the tourism economy.
Vienna as an international metropolis with highest quality
Vienna is the city with the highest living quality. In the Mercer-Ranking[1] 2010 Vienna was able to trump Zurich and Geneva, which are on second and third place. 39 different criteria build the basis of the evaluation, whereas health, security, education and transportation are the most important areas.
221 metropolises have been evaluated concerning their living qualities. Within the eco-ranking, where the cities with the best environment are presented, Vienna is not in the top five. The best evaluated cities in this ranking are Calgary, Honolulu, Ottawa, Helsinki and Wellington.
In 2011 Vienna could prove again, that its living quality is pretty high. The result of the ‘Liveability Ranking Report August 2011’[2] from the “Economist Intelligence Unit” states that the Danube metropolis reserves the second place. It just surrendered against Melbourne.
It is the first time since a decade, that Vancouver is not at the top. The crisis of the Euro and the Arab spring have definitely influenced the ranking. Every city is evaluated in five big areas like balance, health, culture, environment, education and infrastructure.
Sector of tourism as a seminal industry
The city of Vienna wants to focus on the sector tourism in the future. As a branch with high potential, Vienna as a multifaceted brand should be encouraged and worked up. With the formula ‘100 and 1 and now’ the tourism-concept 2015[3] wants to achieve a high goal. The sales volume of the hotel industry should increase about 100 Million euros and the number of overnight stays should be raised by one million. The ‘now’ in the formula refers to the metropolis Vienna, as a popular destination of travellers, which you must not miss.
11.000 travellers were questioned; both people who know Vienna and those who don’t were considered. Expectations and desires from travellers as well as interests of the tourism economy are combined in the concept. You can find offers like culinary, culture, design, architecture, sightseeing and relaxing, business and Wellness in Vienna. Its attractive infrastructure meets the hybrid consumption value.
The Viennese atmosphere is a very special one, where borders between cultures, genres and social levels are mixed together. There is no strict distinction possible. Contradictions, like the pulsating capital city and the idyllic vineyards with a unique view over Vienna are balanced and meet the needs of guests. So, Vienna as a touristy label offers diversifying innovative qualities.
Because the Danube metropolis is regarded as the worldwide most successful destination for congresses, the corporate function, congress and trade fair tourism is counted among the most important segments. In the Business section the overnight stays have been nearly doubled in the last decade, whereat serviced apartments became very popular. These apartments offer a place, where guests can feel like home and at the same time don’t have to miss the services of a hotel. Viennaresidence | business rental apartments is such an apartment-rental agency, that rents serviced apartments for short as well as long term stays. The apartments are high-class and modern furnished and fully equipped, from dishes and microwave to towels and a washing machine. Just everything you need for living. The agencies, like viennaresidence, offer additional services, like chauffeur services, cleaning or shopping via partner businesses. These features reliefs everyday life and a comfortable and trouble-free stay in Austria’s capital city is waiting for the guest. Moreover serviced apartments offer an inexpensive alternative to a long-term stay in a hotel.
In the future Vienna’s image as a congress-city will be developed. With its diversifying offers concerning different localities, from the Viennese Hofburg and Austria Center Vienna to the Messe Vienna, Universities and palaces, the city can manage every kind of congress or trade fair. With special and innovative products Vienna wants to build up a trend in the congress-tourism. For example, the offer of modern localities should be extended and the image of the trade fair location should be sustained with more awareness and openness.
The goal of the tourism-concept 2015 is, amongst others, to develop Vienna as an international congress metropolis. Thus, the image of the city will be brightened and also the sector of tourism will profit. With the Mercer-survey and the ‘Liveablitiy Ranking Report’ we have an evidence for Vienna being a cosmopolitan and innovative City with high living quality.

Apart from traditional Viennese Food – International cuisine instead of Wiener Schnitzel
The traditional Viennese cuisine has many different delicacies to offer, think about the Schweinsbraten or Wiener Schnitzel, good and solid. Or something sweet, like the Kaiserschmarren or Apfelstrudel.But you may also find so many tasty restaurants with international cuisine, from countries all over the world.
Particularly Asian food is very popular in Austria. An insider’s tip is Tofu und Chili, on Linke Wienzeile, next to the Naschmarkt. Although the furniture inside the eatery is more functional than generous, the food is very delicious and they serve big portions. Therefore the tasteful food levels the small location. Mainly during midday it’s hard to find a free seat, which speaks definitely in the food’s favour.
Tofu und Chili offers sophisticated wok meals with meat, tofu or seafood and with rice and vegetables. Furthermore the noodles are self-made. Also sweet eaters won’t miss desserts like baked bananas or Zongzi.
Another Asian restaurant is Bamboo, which offers its manifold cuisine for a sensational price. There are even three Bamboos located in Vienna.Their concept is an all-you-can-eat buffet with really a huge range of fresh ingredients, vegetables, meat and fish. You can create your own meal and the cook prepares it in front of you. I can recommend the Happy Hour from 3pm until 5pm, where you pay only 6,90 € for the buffet. But it gets more expensive in the evening and on weekends. Although that, Bamboo is definitely a visit worth.
If you prefer more the cuisine from Vietnam, then you’ll have to visit SAPA. It caters for an enjoyable atmosphere and delicious Vietnamese food in the Lindengasse, near the Mariahilferstrasse.
Beside the fresh prepared food, SAPA persuades with a very comfortable and stylish atmosphere. If the weather is nice, you can enjoy your meal outside or you take a seat on the pillows on the ground.
Who likes Asian food apart from Chinese or Japanese meals, SAPA is the right choice for sure.
Due to its new Indian cuisine and its comfortable eatery, I can definitely recommend Nam Nam.
Let’s move up to the North. If you like Scandinavian food, visit SKAEN - ‘köstlich skandinavisch’. You will go there on a culinary trip through Scandinavia. With their slogan ‘Moving Cultures” SKAEN brings the northern art of living to Austria. You can try Scandinavian specialities, like the original Smørrebrød or Danish chocolate, salmon or fish. In the Restaurant is also a shop included.Enjoy your meal! :)
