Vienna's Ring encircles a compact old centre where most of the sights sit within a twenty-minute walk. Hotels inside the Ring are grand and priced accordingly; the districts just outside it are well connected by tram and considerably cheaper. Public transport is excellent, so a hotel two stops out costs less and loses you almost nothing.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 332 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
