Turks have conquered Vienna

For Turks, if you have a visa, the most beautiful place you can visit is Vienna, the capital of Austria.

When you board the morning flight, you are in Vienna at 09:00. After passing through passport control in 10 minutes and boarding the train, you are in the center of Vienna 15 minutes later. When you leave Istanbul in the morning, you can have your breakfast in Vienna.

At 10:00, you are at Stephansplatz, the most famous square in Vienna.

While walking around the square, you might say it feels familiar, but I kept hearing Turkish conversations everywhere.

The lucky Turks who were able to obtain a visa had filled the streets of Vienna.

The hotel I stayed at in Vienna was in the most beautiful spot of the famous Stephansplatz Square.

I paid 166 Euros per night, including breakfast. That is 8 thousand TL.

Flight ticket prices to Vienna are also very cheap. If you buy them in advance, you can fly to Vienna even cheaper than domestic flight prices.

If you are planning to go to Vienna, let me help you with ticket prices as well.

Let's look at the flight ticket prices for a departure on September 16 and a return on September 18.

If you buy from Turkish Airlines (THY), it is 8 thousand TL. Let me give you a tip on this: buy your Vienna ticket from THY as one-way tickets instead of a round trip. This way, it will be cheaper for you.

If you buy from A Jet, it is 6 thousand TL.

If you prefer Pegasus, it is even cheaper: 4 thousand 800 TL.

You can travel to and from Vienna for less than the cost of going to Bodrum.

Europe has now caught up to our prices in terms of food and drink.

The price of a croissant and coffee in Vienna is 12 Euros, which is 600 TL. These prices are the same in Istanbul.

For dinner, I had a schnitzel with a glass of wine. I paid 42 Euros, which is 2 thousand TL.

If we make a rough calculation, the cost of a 2-night, 3-day trip to Vienna is 25 thousand TL per person.

I included the flight ticket, 2 nights at a hotel, and 3 dinners in this price. Don't worry, your dessert and coffee pleasure is also included in this price.

While walking the streets of Vienna, I noticed something.

The Turks who are traveling are in the young and middle-aged groups. Among those coming from other countries, you see more elderly people.

When a person goes abroad, they realize something. A sense of peace fills you. You distance yourself from your daily troubles. You stay away from the country's problems, even if just for 3 days. Your phone rings less. You receive fewer messages. You are, in a way, doing a detox.

Austria is a country of 9 million people. 2 million live in Vienna.

Sometimes we say population is important, but Turkey is a country almost 9 times larger than Austria.

Would you prefer to be born in a small country or a large one?

I leave that decision to you.
