Whenever I think of Vienna, the first thing that comes to my mind is their famous Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Vienna Boys’ Choir. And of course all the famous composers who lived and worked there including Strauß, Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn.
Perhaps if you are planning to celebrate the New Year of 2008, you should start looking for hotels in Vienna from now, since Vienna like any other major towns in Austria will turn their old city centres into open-air ballrooms. It’s a common sight to see on New Year’s Eve, numerous revellers watch the fireworks and waltz into the New Year!
If you are afraid that you will be short on budget after spending on hotels in Vienna, dread no more as there are many events held there all year long that cost you zilch. Enjoy the most picturesque garden in the parks of Schönbrunn Palace or immerse yourself at Vienna’s most famous recreation area, the Danube Island.
From Vienna we head north to Berlin to enjoy its diversity of museums, palaces and historical attractions as one of Europe’s leading cultural centers.
Finding hotels in Berlin that are located to the nearby tourist attractions should not be a problem for a tourist like you. Agon Aldea Hotel for example is located a few minutes away from the famous Kurfürstendamm, one of Berlin’s major shopping areas that are developed in the West during the years that Berlin was divided.
Of course your visit to Berlin would not be complete if you miss to visit the Brandenburger Gate, the most famous and beloved sight in Berlin. It has been a symbol of a divided Germany until 1989 when it became a symbol of hope to a new generation when they tore down the Berlin wall. Hotels in Berlin such as Aster Hotel an der Messe in the Charlottenburg Wilmersdorf area will ease your visit to that district famous landmarks such Schloss Charlottenburg, an elegant palace commisioned in 1695 by Queen Sophie Charlotte.
While you are touring the gardens and the palace, you will get to enjoy the many interesting works of art by German Romantic artists. In the meantime, Schöne Ferien!
