Before you conclude your road trip in Austria, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Vienna.
Savor the flavors at Brasserie Palmenhaus Wien, a top pick for dinner tonight. Alternatively, Salm Bräu beckons with its unique menu offerings.
You’ll then say farewell to Vienna. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in Austria!
