These Vienna Airbnbs Showcase the Best of the Historic City Center

Vienna Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Apr 4, 2023

The city that rocketed Mozart toward fame and gave us Klimt, Vienna is one of the European centers for classical culture and the arts. Between touring the Habsburg palaces and inhaling the world’s most decadent chocolate cake, Austria’s calm capital will inspire you to slow the pace. As you’d expect, the accommodation scene in Vienna is divine. The best hotels in Vienna shower you with traditional Austrian hospitality with subtle nods to the city’s past. Similarly, Airbnbs in Vienna combine old-world elegance with contemporary amenities to make your stay all the more comfortable.
