The dream of iceskating

After more than 2 weeks with crisp cold average temps -10C in vienna, you can imagine how wonderful ice skating on a lake will be.

The "sea" of Vienna, the Neusiedlersee, 60km away from vienna, is a stunning place to wrap up in winter, take out your skates and explore the sheer endless sea.

If you prefer to stay in Vienna city and do not want to miss out for iceskating you have an even more stunning alternative

Ice skating between the heritage buildings of our former emperors is a unique experience.

And the topping of the ice (!!!) is that the rink is not a squared or oval one, as almost every ice rink in the world, BUT you have little narrow alleys whilst skating through a wonderful park.

Watch this to get a glimpse of that unique experience! AND hurry up, as it closes in a couple of days, on the 4 of March!!!!

Opening times: 9am to 10pm - 6€ - no time slots - skate as long as you're feet are not frozen !!!!

Vienna at it's Best - 4 days before Christmas

It's so wonderful to be in Vienna right now!

The smell of Punsch and Gluehwein in front of Schoenbrunn Palace, crisp air, christmas music wherever you go, a huffle and shuffle and loads of delicious food.

Wherever you go you'll find stunning lights, like here in Rotenturmstrasse, "Redtowerstreet"

or when you walk from St. Stephens Cathedral towards the Graben.

And as a small christmas present: here's a very special sightseeing recommendation:

visit the Strudelhofstiege. With snow and in the evening it's so romantic, you don't wanna leave!

It's maybe the most famous Art Nouveau building of Vienna. Don't miss it out these days!

Snow was Coming to Town

It started with a snow storm (picture from Schoenbrunn Palace) in the early evening hours...

... and the final result were a few milimetres of snow (picture taken at 8.30 pm close to bluedanube apartments). Much less than expected, but a start, after all...

Snow is Coming to Town

Seems that the weather forecast is correct this time... it started snowing in the Western parts of Austria, so it is just a question of hours until Vienna will become white. It is a nightmare for some, a dream for others... So, if you are planning to use your car under such conditions, be prepared for chaos (at least during the first days until everyone has digested the unexpected surprise) and don't move your car if you haven't got snow-tires and strong nerves. If you are more the walking type of person, wrap yourself into some warm stuff and enjoy - and hurry up, because, as usual at this time of the year, the snow will not last very long and melt away again soon.

And, of course, bluedanube apartments are well prepared, it will be warm and cozy when you return back to the apartment after a nice winter walk in town.
