Vienna, Austria’s capital is stunning! Vienna lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. If you LOVE art and music than this is the city for you. Vienna is artistic and intellectual, and was shaped by famous residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial palaces, including Schönbrunn, the Habsburgs summer residence. In the Museums Quartier district, historic and contemporary buildings display works by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and other artists.
Austria's capital offers a unique blend of imperial traditions and stunning modern architecture. It is famous for its cultural events, imperial sights, coffee houses, cozy wine taverns, and the very special Viennese charm.
If you are short for time (which we were, only had 3 days). I recommend the hop on/hop off bus.
Some of Vienna's highlights: St. Stephens Cathedral, Albertina,Lunch at Augustinerkeller, Natural History Museum & Kunsthistorische Museum, City River Cruise, A Ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel, Vienna opera house, and of course Schönbrunn Palace.
