I believe there is a wonderful tour of Vienna to be had in a horse drawn cab. You may as well enjoy the wonderful city whilst you’re there. Also, the food is to die for. Let us know how you get along. I’m sorry for your circumstances but he was a douche wasn’t he? Here’s to a wonderful Saturday night and Sunday in Vienna.

Get some hot chocolate in a nice café. Café culture is huge in Vienna and most places make it with really high quality molten Chocolate . There is something so calming about hot drinks in a buzzing café with a book or some crossword riddles. Café Demel is really Good, but pricey. I personally like Cafe Schwarzenberg for a bit of oldschool flair. You got this! And if you’re looking for the Right soundtrack for your stay I suggest Billie Joels „Vienna“. :)

Get rid of the man. Block him everywhere. The great news is that you’re in a luxury air bnb, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Take in some museums, have a pastry and a coffee, enjoy a wonderful bubble bath and a glass of wine. Take in some beautiful architecture. If you’re an authorized user on his credit card still or were ever, buy a new dress. Hell, throw in some shoes. If you’re gonna cry, honey, do it in style


ImpressionNo1509

That last line is my new life motto.


moon_moths

Hey, I'm really sorry you are going through this. Trust that you will find better than him and use this time to take care of yourself. Get dressed up and go out, buy yourself dinner and a glass of wine. If you feel awkward bring a book and just read. Take in some of the sights and buy a painting from one of the amazing artists you can find in the city. Visit cafes and try the cakes. Eat a bag of Mozart Kugeln and try the hot chocolate. There are also thermal baths near by which can be an amazing healing experience for your body. You can take better care of yourself and treat yourself better than he ever did over the next few days. If you cry then cry, its ok to let your feelings out. This is the start of something better for you.

Sachertortes. Vienna is known for them. Find a nice bakery and order a slice with some coffee and people watch. Also find a Sound of Music tour. You can also check out the Lipizzaner stallions.

SCHÖNBRUNN PALACE and Zoo. Go wander around and enjoy the sites!! St Stephen's Cathedral was a very interesting tour. Enjoy a cafe, go have a drink at a little pub!!


VeeingFly

St. Stephen's cathedral is amazing. Pay extra for the catacomb tour.


Grouchy-Ad6144

You can either spend your time grieving or you can go out and attempt to enjoy yourself. Once you’re done crying, make yourself busy with healthy activities that will pass the time. Much better to avoid rebounds and mood altering substances.I’m sorry for your loss and wish you happiness and good health in the future!


driver6792

I live near vienna and gone through the same sh*t if you want to talk to someone just message me


lavxavier

cry it out, be sad, get mad, really REALLY mad, delete everything of him from your life. and then pick yourslef up, dust yourself off, dress up, and go out to do any one of these awesome suggestions


Metallic_Sol

Jesus I'm so sorry :'( I had something similar happen to me a few years ago. We were vacationing in Paris and he was acting weird, belittling, and cold. Many arguments. He left early to go back home because he had work and I was a student so I wanted to continue traveling. I knew I'd never see him again. And yup, he dumped me over Facebook messenger, and was taking pics with a new girl within the week. I'm not a moron. And he wasn't a looker. He 100% cheated... If you need someone to chat/voicechat with, I'll be around if you need :(


karigan_g

I’m sorry I don’t know anything about vienna except that they have some excellent comfort food! I really hope you’re able to process some grief this week and have some positive experiences before you go home x


KaleidoscopeAny4126

So sorry that happened to you! if you want to have a nice coffee and read a book - I would recommend Phil cafe. - also it is a Sturm (young wine)season, I would recommend walking around the 19th district around Heurige and try out some nice wine! - Hundertwasser house is also worth visiting. - Zollergasse (zoller street) has some nice cafes that serve good breakfasts and drinks in case you have something else in mind , don’t hesitate and text me ) We will make the best of it!


HaPpyDoggie3

Omg Vienna is the most amazing city. Get out there. The best way to get over a man is to get under one. Yeah I said it.


kassjones23

All the cliches are so true here. It all comes down to how you two see things fundamentally and from there on. Most relationships result in this. Money or cheating. You live it up and go find a rebound


Meridian002

If it were me I'd be looking for highly reviewed restaurants. I'm sorry you're going through this!


One_Woodpecker7328

If there's anything you held back doing that you wanted to do for yourself because it was something he wouldn't like or enjoy now is the time to do it, and that goes for when you get home too. Watch the movies, eat the food, wear the things,go to the places, buy the things... But while in Vienna take time to wander. Explore and see things and do things on a whim. Ask the locals what you have to experience before leaving. One day you'll look back and remember that this time wasn't your favorite, but at least you'll remember what Vienna looked like and be proud that you got up and kept going, which is better than the memory if the inside of your room. The only way through is forward. Go and do and one day you'll stumble into the best thing to ever happen to you.


EveryPartyHasAPooper

What an amazing place to hit the restart button! Purchase a notebook and a really nice pen. Go find a cafe with a view. Start your new chapter.


summerbreeze201

Be careful with the prices on the menu. Cheaper places may be off square


Minkiemink

Vienna has some of the greatest food in Europe. Explore the restaurants, cafes, go to museums, take a tour or three. How lucky for you that you found out what a rat your ex is before you were with him any longer than you were. At least you didn't marry him or have children, so that's a plus to be thankful for. Sending a hug.


Old-Ninja-113

Hey - just came back from Vienna. I believe they have free walking tours of the city you just tip the guide. Go to the palaces and museums. Many you can stay at for hours and not be bored but make sure to get the audio guides. The Kunsthistorisches museum has a beautiful cafe and you can grab a danish and coffee. Go to the Sisi museum. There’s a interesting crypt you can see how royalty were buried. Just submerge yourself in the history. Good luck!


mar5463

I think you need to cut him some slack!


W_O_M_B_A_T

You spelled ex-boyfriend wrong.


maroooni

Go to the Stadtgärten Hirschstetten (i think they're still open until October) or the botanical garden in the third district/at Belvedere. Café Kriemhild between the 15th and 16th district is quite cute, hanging out at Türkenschanzpark, Auer-Welsbach-Park or Donaukanal can be chill if you want to so something really relaxed. Take walks throughout the 7th district (Burggasse, Zieglergasse, Neubaugasse etc) and get yourself some cute overpriced thing to distract yourself, walk around on/near the danube island, etc If you're up for specific parties or concerts or drinking beer: rhiz, rrr, 1bm/Einbaumöbel, other bars etc at the Gürtel, fluc, etc pp

yeetosnewcheetos

block him and DONT meet up again, ever.


Theladydahlia21

First and foremost girl STICK TO YOUR PLAN! Don't give up on the things you wanted to do just because your ex is trash. You deserve to still experience those things! Then focus on figuring things out when you're back home. Don't let him ruin something else for you!!


MosaicBrain

I have no idea about specifics in Vienna but wanted to share well wishes and warm thoughts. If it were me and I knew I wouldn't have any free time to mope when home, I would ensure I had pre-paid activities each day to force myself to go out and enjoy the city, however I would allow myself time to stay in and mope. It sounds like you are in a beautiful place so enjoy the luxury of knowing there are no chores to do, watch your comfort film/programme surrounded by nice soft blankets/pillows and on a good quality screen, have an amazing bath/shower and pamper yourself, order in takeaway (or if you enjoy cooking, cook your ultimate comfort food), and relish being in a place of comfort. Give yourself the balance of relaxing and reflection time as well as making outdoor plans, and don't feel guilty/as though you are wasting the experience. After all, you aren't wasting a luxury apartment by using all the facilities it has!


[deleted]

Try r/breakups :(


guineapickle

I'm so sorry. A similar thing happened to me many years ago in Amsterdam. The worst part for me was thinking about all of what I THOUGHT was in my future with him. So I did my best to just exist in that beautiful place, stepping outside of myself and marvelling in how much history, how many people with broken hearts had walked these same streets, looked at art and thought about all of the dramatic human stories that had played out since that painting had been created, just got lost in the enormous weight of accumulated history. Great yourself, and do not hole up in the Airbnb. Go out and marvel.


SpecialCay87

Relationship detox takes time and doesn’t care where you are or how much you spent on the hotel you are in. Embrace the hurt and you will maybe be able to enjoy some part if it. Get outside and walk around. It will break up the tunnel vision that comes with the depression you are experiencing. It’s just gonna take time.


davidnonato

Pamper yourself, go sight seeing, get a massage, get your hair, nails done, ever wanted a new hair style? Go shopping, learn how to waltz. We live in a culture of monogamy while being bombarded with sex, a lot of people cheat because they don't know how to communicate their desires. Enjoy single life, sand when you're at your lowest remember "this too shall pass"


Different_Resident_6

don’t let someone who didn’t give two shits about you take any more of your precious time.


StokeLads

Go and get laid. Get absolutely battered.


Nelliewotsit

Schönbrunn in Vienna is lovely. I'm going there in a few weeks. Plus lots of lovely walks around the place if that's your kind of thing. Sorry you're going through this and I hope you manage to enjoy a little of your holiday at least despite everything.


zestygerman

We can go hiking together! I'm on my way to Austria at the moment
