Cristall Hotel and nearby sports venues in Vienna, Austria

Vienna`s appearance is manifold from the historic city centre with its magnificent buildings from many different centuries, to the former villages outside the once-standing city ramparts, to the green hills of the Vienna Woods. Very close to the city centre there is the Prater, an natural park that covers more than 5 square kilometers and was an imperial hunting ground until 1766. Today the Prater has lakes from old tributaries of the Danube, meadows, grand boulevards lined with chestnut trees and the fun park with its merry-go-rounds and rollercoasters. However, the sights of Vienna are not the only reason for paying a visit. A window-shopping stroll through the downtown pedestrian zone of the historic city centre, going to a musical or concert, or spending a cosy evening at the 'Heuriger' (wine tasting taverne) - all these are only some examples for the many possibilities that Vienna offers to its visitors. Along the streets leading to the Prater there once were inns where the coachmen could take a rest with their horses. A modern hotel business has emerged from such inns with its old arched vaults intact. There is a limited number of parking places at the hotel and upon availability.
