Thanks to last year's winner, the irrepressible Conchita Wurst, this year's annual Eurovision Song Contest is being held in the Austrian city of Vienna, with the final on 23rd May. And specialist European operator, Fred. Holidays, is predicting that publicity from this year's contest is bound to stimulate interest in short breaks to the Austrian capital.

Aisleen Marley at Fred. Holidays says, “The annual Eurovision Song Contest traditionally creates a lot of legitimate interest in the host city, as the TV coverage itself often showcases the city as a backdrop for much of the show. With this in mind, we are promoting our excellent short breaks to Vienna as well as tailor-made holidays using the city as a base for exploring the rest of the region for late Spring and early Summer.”

Fred. Holidays offers its Vienna city breaks priced from £309 per person, to include return flights and two nights accommodation on bed and breakfast basis. http://www.fredholidays.co.uk/destinations/austria/vienna
