Meeting point
Vienna is — and always has been — a multicultural melting pot. All these different cultures collide at the Naschmarkt, just a few minutes away from the 25hours hotel. Here, the original spirit of Vienna can be found side by side with the atmosphere of a Middle Eastern bazaar, transforming a trip to the market into a culinary and cultural voyage of discovery. There are lots of places to eat as well as the market itself.
— Flea market at the Naschmarkt (Saturdays). Antique souvenirs are always popular with visitors, and Vienna is no exception. There are plenty of rare objects waiting to be discovered at the city’s flea markets and antiques fairs.
Musical capital of the world
More famous composers lived in Vienna at some point in their lives than in any other city. Music really is in the air in Vienna: it is the home of waltzes, operas and operettas, and even musicals made in Vienna have won the hearts of international audiences.
