Holiday home expert Domegos.co.uk reports a 20 per cent rise in bookings to Europe’s cake capital, since it was voted the world’s best city. Holidaymakers are turning into pastry pilgrims and music maestros and treating themselves to a break in the world’s best city - Vienna. Holiday bookings to the Austrian capital have rocketed this year, that’s according to Domegos.co.uk.

The land of Mozart, Maria Von Trapp and Marie Antoinette has seen a rise in popularity in recent years but it is its capital where they all eat cake which is proving the biggest hit as a holiday destination.

Earlier this year Vienna was voted the city with the best quality of life. Since then - according to Domegos.co.uk - bookings have risen by 20 per cent.

The rise brings the Austrian city into Domegos.co.uk’s top five most popular cities in Europe for holiday home rentals, alongside Rome, Berlin, Barcelona and Florence.

Dennis Klett, co-founder and director of Domegos.co.uk, says: “This proves that holidaymakers are constantly seeking the best break, both in terms of value for money and quality of the destination.”
