Vienna City Festival

For those looking for Easter fun away from home, Austria might be the ideal destination.

During April, for several days the city will come alive with music, dancing, comedy and fine foods. Gourmet food cooked by nationally and internationally-renowned chefs traditionally kicks off the festivities. They cook in the streets, giving visitors the chance to learn from the experts and sample what they have prepared.

Food stalls throughout the city will also keep Vienna visitors well-fed, and street performers will ensure they are entertained. A host of dance performances promise a spectacular show and comedians are another popular pull of the annual festival.

Vienna offers a great getaway destination, with plenty of culture and things to do, even when the festival is not running. Austria is also a popular ski destination and the city offers a different aspect of a trip to those heading up into the mountains to check out the slopes.
