 Ski slopes for beginners and children |
Waldweg Vienna 2392 Austria +43 1 812 12 01 |
A short drive or bus ride will bring you to the beautiful Wienerwald, and a 120m ski lift will provide the ingredients for the perfect winter outing. Specifically designed for novices and children, it is also located directly next to the Gasthof Lindwurm. So, there's no need to worry about getting cold, tired or hungry - especially if you bring your little ones along. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Skiing in the Wienerwald |
Mauerbachstraße 172-174 Vienna 1140 Austria +43 1 979 10 57 |
Skiing in the city of Vienna is more beautiful than you would think: Picturesque Mauerbach is located in the outskirts of Vienna on the slopes of the Wienerwald and is waiting for skiers just like you! With a 400m skilift why go anywhere else? You will need to go when there are snow conditions because they do not produce artificial snow, however, that isn't generally a problem for Vienna in the winter. Review © 2007, Wcities |

When it's cold outside, why not come to an indoor swimming pool? This facility also offers a sauna, whirlpool and eucalyptus bath. Massage and quiet rooms are also available to help relieve your stress and revive yourself from a hectic work schedule. But, don't think this is just for adults; children are very much welcome and catered to at this facility. Birthday parties can also be arranged. The hours are very generous, and the prices aren't bad either. Call for specifics as there are many variables based on time blocks and activities. A child's day card for swimming is EUR12 and an adult's day card is EUR20. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The finest dressage in the world |
Michaelerplatz 1 Vienna 1010 Austria +43 1 533 90 31 http://www.spanische-reitschul... |
The Spanish Riding School was founded by the Habsburgs in the late 16th century in order to improve horsemanship and to help with the breeding and training of Spanish horses. The Winter Riding School was built in 1729-35 and now provides the venue for classic dressage shows by Lipizzaner horse-riders clad in medieval costumes. The interior is spectacular and hailed as the most beautiful riding hall in the world. Performances are given several times a year, and although tickets are very expensive, they are often sold out weeks in advance. A cheaper alternative is to attend the morning exercises or dress rehearsals. Morning exercises: February-June, August-October, December: 10am-noon daily; tickets available at the entrance. Admission for morning exercises: EUR5-12. Review © 2007, Wcities |

An oasis of peace and quiet |
Mechelgasse 2 Landstrasser Gürtel 1 Vienna, Vienna 1030 Austria +43 1 42775 4190 / +43 1 42775 4194 http://www.plantfog.at/ |
A lot of rare and lesser-known exotic plants and trees can be seen in this garden. Empress Maria Theresia realised this project in 1754 to plant the medicinal herbs suggested by her physician. A few years later, this area was changed into the Botanical Gardens, which was then donated to the university. It is an oasis of peace and tranquillity, and is therefore recommended not only for botanists, but also for parents and their children. Review © 2007, Wcities |
