Our journey to Vienna began in Scotland but we pick up where we left off in last week's video, in the north of France. We made the mammoth 14 hour drive from Calais to the outskirts of Vienna in our self converted camper van. Vienna is a beautiful city with plenty to see, it's a city that we have been looking forward to explore. In this week's video we take you around Vienna showing you how we enjoy the city. We first surprise Calum's Mum for her big birthday with an unexpected birthday dinner. For the next two days we had the freedom to explore Vienna, visiting the incredibly beautiful St. Stephens Cathedral, exploring the unique streets and socking up some Viennese culture in one of the cutest restaurants we have ever visited (Puestner Restaurant).
→ As we were on a budget, we still wanted to visit one museum and we picked Leopold Museum. The museum contains large collections of modern Austrian art, featuring artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Richard Gerstl. We loved it so much.
It cost 15 euros to entry.
→ Is Vienna a good van life destination?
This is a question we asked ourself while traveling to the city. It was unclear if it would be possible to get into the city without an EU environmental sticker. This is something we where unable to get our hands on. You need an environmental sticker if you wish to take your camper van into most cites in Austria. If you get one of these stickers then you will have no problem visiting the city. However we would still recommend Vienna as a van life destination even if you don't have the sticker.
We discovered a cracking park-up for our van on the outskirts of the city at a railway station. It was free to park. The city was only a short 20 minute train ride. This meant we where able to enjoy the city all day and take a late train back to the comforts of our wee home.
We bought a day pass for 8 euros each and included the train journey, trams and metros (we think haha).
Thanks for watching and see you next Monday!
