Editor's review
Formerly known as the Praterstadion, Austria's largest stadium was recently renamed after footballing legend Ernst Happel. Located in the Prater district, which film lovers will know from Orson Welles' cuckoo-clock speech in 40's flick The Third Man, the arena has a capacity for 50,000 punters. However, this will be slightly upped for a certain get-together that's on the horizon - Euro 2008. Vienna will be hosting several group matches, a pair of quarter-finals, a semi and the grand final itself. In other words, the Full Monty. To get here, hop on the U-Bahn (underground) to Praterstern, then take tram 21. When the footie's off, the Ernst Happel Stadium doubles as a prime concert venue - Elton John, Robbie Williams and The Rolling Stones have all let rip with Ernst.
