Vienna Sightseeing

The City of Music

Swoon-worthy Vienna makes for a charming city break. Sweeping boulevards are an architectural dream, with baroque, medieval and imperial touches giving the Austrian capital a frozen-in-time feel. 

More laid-back than larger European capitals, Vienna’s famous streets are easy to explore by foot.

With its Baroque palaces and manicured gardens, Vienna is all elegance and charm. Listen out for orchestral tones, as classical music is big business here. Concert halls and jazz bars are the main magnets come night fall.  

What’s more, it boasts a huge opera scene, with three houses including the Vienna State Opera, and a deep connection to classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn all lived there).

To see a modern side, check out Museums Quartier, a creative district packed with exhibits, shops, and restaurants. Coffee culture’s a real thing, and there are tons of cosy cafés where you can grab an espresso and a slice of sachertorte (a chocolate gateau with apricot jam filling and chocolate icing) and hang out for the day. 

You’ll find elegant cafés standing shoulder to shoulder with atmospheric wine cellars and traditional taverns. Maybe you might want to trade your coffee for something stronger? Head to a vineyard (there’s around 400 of them) or wine tavern for drinks and schnitzel.

The Innere Stadt is at the core of the city’s 23 districts, which means you can nose around the city’s crammed backstreets and tick off many of the tourist sites, from the Hofburg palace to the Gothic Stephansdon cathedral.

And the history doesn’t stop there, possibly one of the best things to see in Vienna is the Schonbrunn Palace. There you can take a tour. Schönbrunn Palace is Vienna’s most visited attraction. This magnificent palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Austria’s most important cultural landmarks. It was once home to generations of emperors, including Empress Maria Theresa and Emperor Franz Joseph. Seeing the beautiful palace gardens and grand rooms inside was such a unique experience!

If the scent of fresh pastries or the many sausage stands doesn’t guide your steps, enjoy wandering through Vienna’s charming streets, surrounded by stunning Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau architecture.

This is a city you won’t want to miss. With a safe, reliable transport network, streets and sights easily explored on foot or by bicycle, and an atmosphere that delights every sense, what are you waiting for?
