Destinations

Christmas Special: Vienna

Ulster Fly joins Harry and Rebecca Sherrard as they take a direct flight from Dublin to the Austrian capital of Vienna where Christmas is traditionally celebrated in some style. Harry and Rebecca visit the beautiful Schonbrunn Palace and rummage through the stalls selling crafts. They shop for unusual gifts at the Chriskindlmarkt in the City Hall, ride the ferris wheel in the Prater amusement park, take a leisurely horse-drawn ride around the city and try their skills at ice curling in the Museum quarter.

Extra Info: If your planning to use public transport then we suggest you buy a Vienna card and it gives you 72 hours of unlimited travel on the trains, buses and the trams. It also entitles you to discounts at most museums. You can pick one up at the tourist offices, the train stations or most hotels and it works out at about £11.50.
Flying time: Just over two hours from Dublin airport
Best time to visit: There's plenty to do year-round in Vienna. Winter is cold and snowy.
