A weekend break to Vienna as seen through the eyes of our press manager Lizzie.

This weekend I visited the Austrian capital of Vienna with a few friends.I wasn't really sure quite what to expect but I was more than pleased with the choice of city getaway. Having been ranked a few years ago as the best place for quality of life, I can see why. The people were warm and friendly, the transport system easy to use, the streets weren’t overcrowded and the schnitzel – well it was delicious! It’s a place you can spend hours wandering around, admiring the Baroque and Romanesque architecture, drinking coffee in cafes and stumbling across amazing vintage shops. For some alternative culture we visited the Frida Kahlo retrospective at the Bank Austria gallery, which was a visual treat and we finished the day on the spectacular giant ferris wheel at the Prater – followed by some local schnapps! Cue headache for flight home….Elizabeth Kelly – Press Manager
