The Austrian capital is one of the historic and cultural sights of Europe. Its international airport stands 11 miles of the southeast of the city along the valley of the River Danube. It is a busy national gateway, with three terminals and all the shops, restaurants and facilities travellers need. But if you hire a car at Vienna Airport you'll find that it stands in a valley that is a beautiful wooded stretch of countryside. In fact, right next to the airport is the Danube-Auen National Park. Road connections are good too. The E58 will take you straight from the airport car park to the city centre.
Visitors who hire a car at Vienna Airport can easily explore the beautiful landscape surrounding the city and 80km away, along the A6/A4 motorway, is the historic capital of Slovakia, Bratislava.
The city of Vienna, of course, is a major attraction itself, with a long list of grand buildings, monuments, tree-lined boulevards and parks to see. Highlights of the city include enjoying a fine cultural event in a historic venue, like the Opera House or Burgtheatre, and simply trying coffee and cake in a typical Viennese café.
