We hit most every major sight in Vienna. Everything from the palaces to the museums was terrific. Lots of shops if you like that stuff, easy walking, great food, very clean.

Our first trip to Vienna and I have to agree it is one of the most beautiful and green cities I have seen. The Center is easy to get to and most sights are walkable to or take the tram and hop off and on. Very clean and safe and lots to see and do. The Austrians seem to invest... More

If you want to go back to Sissi's time visit the Historic Center of Vienna. Go in to Saint Stephan Church a magnificent building and afterwards have a piece of Sacher Torte at the Racher Hotel by the Opera.

Take advantage of the pedestrian friendly historic centre and of the free concerts. Make sure to have a coffee and cake. It is a must in Vienna. No one does cake and coffee better!

It's one of the most beautiful cities I've visited in Europe. The history overwhelming and it feels like there is always more to see. A walk throughout the center is breathtaking (the tram/bus is also available) anytime of day.

The church allows you to tour a limited portion for free, and the interior is beautiful. I'm not sure why they have hung colored gels over the far more interesting solid pastel window panes, but the effect is unusual and striking. It does reduce the light levels too law to allow tourist photography. But, seating is plentiful even on a... More

Good place to walk around and get a feel of the city - how it would have been a few hundred years back. Lots to see, and good options to eat
