Day 1 - Vienna
Check into the Pension Suzanne upon arriving, a small but very clean, friendly, and perfectly located hotel in the heart of Vienna, just a block from the Opera House. The more expensive rooms have kitchenettes, which provides a nice alternative from eating out for every meal. Breakfast here is excellent. Spend the day wandering around the inner city, where there are plenty of interesting little shops, cafes, and parks to keep interested and busy. The Stephansdom cathedral, on the Stephanplatz square, is particularly beautiful, and can be climbed by adults and older children for a great view of the city. Lunch or a snack can be found in the form of a huge pastry selection at Cafe Diglas, a block or two from Stephansplatz. For smaller children, a tram runs around the entire perimeter of the Ringstrasse, providing a chance to see the whole Ring without too much walking. Introduce the family to Viennese fare at dinner at the Gulaschmuseum, a lively restaurant with plenty of options and fun for kids.

If there are any horse lovers in the family, you can go watch the morning workouts of the white Lipizzaner dancing horses at the Spanish Riding School, which is cheaper and more relaxed than the actual performances. Enjoy one last Austrian meal at nearby Kolar for lunch, then check out of the hotel.
