Groupon's Guide To Vienna
Nestled on the banks of the River Danube, Vienna has a busy cultural calendar which makes it a year-round destination for globetrotters. The city of Mozart is the proud possessor of a famous opera house and binds a plethora of Baroque and contemporary architectural styles. Viennese charm echoes through the city centre’s restaurants and bars that hold a world-famous culinary tradition with dishes such as Wiener Schnitzels and cheese Danishes.
One of the city’s focal points is the 12th-century Stephansdom Gothic cathedral, from which tourists can get one of the best views of Vienna, after climbing its 553 steps. Imperial Austria left its mark with the vast palace complex of Hofburg, where Franz Josef I and Empress Elisabeth once lived. Close to the Museum of Art History, in the former imperial stables, lies the Museumsquartier, a grand complex of museums, galleries, cafes and shops where visitors can relax and enjoy the Viennese atmosphere. The capital city of Austria is located within a temperate climatic zone making for clearly defined seasons. With the warm season starting from May and reaches its peak in August with temperatures going as high as 28ºC on average, making for perfect time of the year to visit this vibrant city crossed by the Danube River. Rain may not occur very often in autumn, with less than half of the season's precipitations being light drizzle. Although Vienna is in one of the lowest-lying parts of Austria, there is no mistaking that it is part of an alpine country and the winter months provide plenty of seasonal attractions such as ice skating and leisurely stroll opportunities in light snowfalls.
Groupon's Guide To Budapest
Budapest, the vibrant capital of Hungary, is a living picture of castles and Neo-Gothic grandeur by day, and a pulsating example of European nightlife by night.
Guests may take a stroll to the historic Lajos Kossuth Square, which plays host to Hungary’s coronation crown and ornate Parliament Building, as well as the Museum of Ethnography’s folk art displays. After admiring the crown, similar treasures may be found in the City Park, where an enormous flea market brightens up weekends with knick-knacks, clothes and much more, amid grandly landscaped environs. Pocket-dipping sessions may follow with a plunge into the thermal spas of Margaret Island, which complements its riverbank surroundings with fragrant gardens, ornate pavilions and parties of sunbathing locals. The climate in Budapest is continental and humid, with very warm summers and, at times, cold winters. During the hot season, which starts in April and ends in August, the temperature reaches an average of 27ºC. In this period, travellers may take nighttime strolls on the Danube promenade, or enjoy refreshing tipples at one of the city's open-air bars. During the colder seasons, the nights get chillier, but holidaymakers will still be able to explore the city sights under favourable weather conditions until late October. Winter arrives in December and lasts till February, bringing negative temperatures and less than two hours of sunshine per day.
