Good morning

[@linamonreale5129]

Thank you for sharing!!! We are thinking of traveling in November

[@KhyatiPuria]

Planning to visit Christmas markets? If yes, make sure you come in the second half of November as most of them open during that time.

I’ll be visiting Vienna for the first time in May and your videos have been really helpful! Tks!

Your videos are life saver. New follower here from the Philippines. I’ll be in Vienna on Thursday ❤.

Thank you for this great video. Specially The Truth Café recomendation and it's amazing San Sebastian cheesecake. We visited 2 days in a row.

[@KhyatiPuria]

Good morning

[@chelseacoral4809]

@puchungo did you find 2 days in Vienna to be enough or would you have stayed an extra day?

[@kellymeredithdc7436]

I’m coming in a week and this was very good for me. I have watched several of your Vienna videos. Very good content.

[@KhyatiPuria]

Appreciate it! If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comment section!

Also visiting first time early may ! Found ur videos very helpful!!

[@KhyatiPuria]

Glad to hear! Enjoy your upcoming trip

[@gerliesb2857]

We will visiting also in May. Can you please give me idea about the weather there on May? And hiking in Dachtein do we need to dress up for cold.😊

[@mick-berry5331]

​@@gerliesb2857May is maybe the nicest month in Vienna. It can be chilly in the morning, but most likely very nice and warm throughout the day. Dachstein is a very high mountain, you should pack clothes for freezing temperatures and windy conditions as well. Better not need them than be sorry. 😏

[@patnubaycruz8130]

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips, will be visiting Vienna for the first time and your video gave a sigh of relief.

[@poonamk2893]

Great video, thank you so much. Can you please make a video on day trip to Prague from Vienna, thanks

[@KhyatiPuria]

Thanks for watching! Will see how we can incorporate that. But Prague isn't really a day trip destination from Vienna. It's more a weekend trip.

[@ameyakunte]

Hi - Would you recommend Mozart Konzert Im Musikverein? Do you have any video around it?

@KhyatiPunia we are visiting austria after dec 20 from kerala, India . Please suggest some local tour agencies there ? Which all are the best winter spots in vienna

[@dec23]

This comment is to warn others about the restaurant Plachutta Wollzeile (and this is no way to undermine the KZbinrs, experience), I went to this restaurant today. What an awful experience. I didn't even get to try to the food. I'm a solo traveler and was seated and I swear about 15 min went by and no waiter acknowledged me, not even a hello. Then I saw a couple that came in AFTER me and were serviced IMMEDIATELY and the waiter answered any questions they had. I saw waiters service empty tables more - I'm not joking. I went to their Google reviews after and saw an American customer saying they 100% felt it was discrimination. That's what my gut was telling me too, but couldn't be certain. It was either that or I'm a single person so they'll make more money/tips with groups. Either way, that place is vile. I ended up leaving. It was my last day in Vienna too. Just please read the Google reviews on that place, a lot of people felt they were discriminated on, I'd hate for other to feel disappointed when on vacation (or at all).

[@KhyatiPuria]

Thank you for sharing your experience! Very unfortunate that you had to go through the same service quality that we also experienced when we recorded the dining experience. It was also mentioned in the video. Unfortunately service quality is lacking in Vienna in general. Rude service is considered authentic which is clearly unacceptable and very sorry for you and also the restaurant because the food is honestly good. Beside that I hope you had an enjoyable Vienna trip! Best regards Puria

[@dec23]

@@KhyatiPuria Thanks Puria. Yes, very disappointed as the food looked good lol. Oh well. I still think Vienna is beautiful and have met people who are decent here.

[@Ja-tz5rs]

it's not like in the US, here you often have to wave at the waiters or do something for their attention

In the summer time, I HIGHLY recommend to go to a Heuriger. There are loads in the 18th/19th/23rd district (not exlusive to those districs though)

What to do in vienna

[@shankar1211]

Hi Khyati and Puria, your videos were so much helpful to roam in Vienna. Especially the food options suggested. Could you also suggest a reasonable shops to buy souvenirs? Some of the shops are quite an expensive (like world of souvenirs)

[@KhyatiPuria]

Very glad that our tips have been useful to you! Unfortunately we aren’t familiar with souvenir shops yet, but you definitely want to skip buying souvenirs in the first district. There is one on Taborstraße 5 which I heard good things about! But we never experienced it ourselves! Maybe worth checking out.

[@shankar1211]

Thanks. We will definitely check it out. Btw the cheesecake at Truth cafe is one of the best thing we ate. If it was not mentioned by you guys, it would have been missed.

[@KhyatiPuria]

@@shankar1211 😍 it's the perfect dessert. If you like creamy stuff and cakes, this cheesecake is a must-try 😍 If you haven't had a Sachertorte yet, definitely also try the one from Kurkonditorei Oberlaa. They have multiple branches spread around the city.

[@desislavatodorova7886]

I can absolutely recommend Demel Kaiserschmarrn and Apple strudel with vanilla sauce and cream/ice cream @ Cafe Central.

[@KhyatiPuria]

Have you ever tried Buchteln at Demel? 😍 another must-try

Vegetarian Food Options in Vienna please, and which Currency to carry as you mentioned to carry cash ? What about USD or EURO ? Where to Exchange ?

[@KhyatiPuria]

Definitely carry EURO - not USD. Don't have personal experiences with exchange offices but hopefully you can really on Google Reviews here. We personally love Revolut for withdrawing foreign currencies. Definitely check them out if you're looking for a convenient way to withdraw foreign currencies without the hustle of exchange offices.

As we are driving from bratislava and having halt at vienna for 3 -3.5 hrs ,Pls suggest a nearest car parking place from most famous sightseeing places .....so that in budget we csn park our car n use local transport to explore city

[@KhyatiPuria]

Google for park + ride garage (P+R). There are plenty spread across the city and very affordable. However If you’re coming on working days they might fill up very quickly by latest 9AM

[@mick-berry5331]

​@@KhyatiPuriaThey are operated by the city, near public transport and cost only 3.60 € or so per 24h period. 😊

0:55 The unique thing on the North Tower is not the view but the Pummerin. 1:33 Cafe Central was well known among large tour groups because it was one of the very few which could accomodate 50 - 80 people at once without reservations - thats the reason its became so popular among tourists. Its not the most historic, not the most important, not even the best cuisine...its just a tourist trap. 1:55 Thats not historic but if you want a more contemporary touch...sure...you defintly didnt get the main ingredient of the coffee culture -> its about doing anything you would do in your living room + having coffee served (business, study, reading, playing games, discussions,....). Here is a true story for you: I once met with someone in a coffee house at 9am - the waiter informed us that those seats were reserved for 1pm and if it was possible for us to leave by then. That information was indeed necessary. 5:02 Still Hofburg Palace. 6:34 Tram 1 goes about halfway around the Ring. 11:40 The queue is not a thing at coffee houses - exept for the tourist traps. I have been to dozens and never waited a min. If there is queue you are at the wrong location.

[@Chowtime5481]

Thank you Khyati & Puria. Love your videos and taking notes when my family and I visit at the end of August of this year. If you can, would you visit Café Raimann on Schönbrunner Str. 285? I'd like to know if is any good in your opinion.
