Planning a trip to Vienna? Experience the Austrian capital in style with my ultimate list of the best Vienna Airbnb rentals…
The beauty of Vienna cannot be underestimated, with the Austrian capital the perfect city to explore on foot or by its famous tramcar, in the summer or in the snow.
Often overlooked for other famous Western European capital cities, Vienna should have a prime position on your European travel itinerary. The stylish, sophisticated and beautiful destination is the place to go for a generous dose of history, architecture, romance and of course – Viennese coffee. And being the city that classical greats Mozart and Beethoven called home, ‘The City of Music’ is home to many musical events and annual balls.
If you’ve seen the movie ‘Before Sunrise’, you’ll know how special this stunning city is. And its Airbnb range is just as fantastic.
These are the 14 best Vienna Airbnb rentals to waltz into for an unforgettable stay…

Guest review: “Bettina’s apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated, with a comfy bed and fantastic amenities (heated floors/towel racks, bathtub, full kitchen). Ideally located for visiting both Schönbrunn and the major attractions downtown, with lots of transit options, but also quiet and peaceful. Bettina was incredibly kind and thoughtful, as well, from her guidebook and local suggestions to the fridge with drinks and the cake she baked for my visit. She was super communicative and helpful, and I very much enjoyed chatting with her. I wish I had been able to spend a few more days here (hopefully next time!), and I would highly recommend her listing to anyone visiting Vienna.” – Elyse

Final thoughts on Airbnb Vienna…
I knew Vienna Airbnb rentals would be as sophisticated and stylish as the city itself – and I wasn’t wrong. Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world, and its incredible Metro system is so easy and breezy to get around on. While you are in Vienna, make sure to visit its fantastic museums and markets. In Christmas, the Vienna Christmas markets are a wintery dream, with the smells of hot chocolate and pastries bound to intoxicate you. I love Vienna, and I’m sure you will too!
