Wien Österreich (Vienna Austria)

We return again to the famous Austrian Capital


      Here we take another weekend trip from Budapest. We catch the ÖBB IC train at Budapest's Keleti station. We stayed two nights at the Hotel Austrian Wien located at Fleischmarkt 20. Fine service and good accomodations. For our return to Budapest, we chose to take a hydrofoil boat from downtown Wien to the boat docks on the Duna in Budapest.
