Introduction
Vienna is Austria's largest city, by a stretch. With a population around the 1.7 million mark, Vienna is the nation's central hub, as well as capital city. Besides being the capital of the country it is also a bundesland (province) on it's own. But it is also a culturally significant landmark in the heart of Europe, celebrating a rich tradition in theatre, opera and classical music. Two of Europe's best known composers, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss, left an indelible mark on Vienna. The same is true for the works of Gustav Klimt and his fellow jugendstill artists. A whole line of architects including father and son Fischer von Erlach, Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt and Otto Wagner, shaped the city into how it looks today.
The city for ages was the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Habsburg dynasty. The numerous palaces that can be found in the city tell of a history of a city and a country that used to a powerhouse in Middle and Eastern European politics. Given its historical significance, it is of little surprise that Vienna's city centre has been listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its Baroque and Medieval architecture.[1]
Neighbourhoods
Vienna has 23 neighbourhoods (bezirke), which have numbers from 1 to 23. most of the touristic sights can be found in the 1. Innere Stadt, and the surrounding neighbourhoods of 3. Landstrasse, 4. Wieden, 5. Margareten, 6. Mariahilf, 7. Neubau, 8. Josefstadt and 9. Alsergrund. Number 2 on the list of neighbourhoods is Leopoldtstad, which is the Island between the Danube and the Danube Channel, this is where the Prater can be found.
The Innere Stadt is the old city centre inside the Ringstrasse. The famous Schönbrunn palace lies in the neighbourhood of 13. Hietzing. In the north of the city 19. Döbling is known for the evenings that can be spend at Heurigen.
Sights and Activities
Hofburg
The Hofburg was the actual residence of the Imperial family, and from 1402 until 1806 (with a short interuption between 1583 and 1612) the seat of the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. Constructing started ages ago, at the sight were now stands the Schweitzertrakt, was an older castle. Because of the long duration the building combines different architectural styles. The last addition to the Hofburg is the Neue Burg (New Burg), which was completed in 1916, two years before the end of the Austrian monarchy, and in the middle of the first world war. The balcony was the place were Hitler announced the 'Anschluss' of Austria into nazi-Germany in 1938. In the original plans there was a second building planned, which should be identical to the Neue Burg. This building was never built.
Inside the Hofburg it is possible to visit a number of rooms that are still decorated in the way they were during the reign of Franz Joseph. It is also possible to take a tour at the treasury rooms. In the big Redoute hall there are often concerts staged, which makes it a good opportunity to visit a piece of the Hofburg, and combine that with the art form of which Vienna is famous.
Schloss Schönbrunn
Schloss Schönbrunn may be Vienna's most visited tourist attraction. Situated outside of the city, it used to be the summer palace of the Austrian Imperial Family. These days, it lies in the suburb of Hietzing, and it can be easily reached by Metro (U4, metrostation: Schönbrunn).
There are tours in several languages taking you to a few of the rooms. Behind the palace lies a huge park in which you can spend a lot of time. From the Gloriette you have a great view over the gardens, towards the palace and the city. In the park you will also find the Zoo.
Stephansdom
The Stephansdom is the most important landmark of Vienna's inner city. The first part of the church was completed in 1147, and extended during the centuries that followed, although never really completed, as it was intended that the Cathedral would have two towers instead of one. The people of Vienna have given the church the nickname 'Der Stefl'. The church is in the center of the old town, and a good orientation point while exploring the inner city.
Schloss Belvedere
Schloss Belvedere is in fact made up of two palaces and the garden located between them. The Lower Belvedere is the smaller palace of the two and can be easily accessed from the Rennweg. The Upper Belverdere is a big white palace, and is much more interesting than the Schonbrunn from an architectural point of view. The entrance of the Upper Belverdere is the easiest from the Prinz Eugen strasse. This palace was built by Prinz Eugen, who also lived here. Inside the Palaces you will find museums, where you can find works by Gustav Klimt and Dali. The Upper Belverdere also has a room in which you only find a table. In this room the Austrian State Treaty was signed on the 15th of May, 1955. It marked the retreat of the Russians, French, English and Americans, that ruled the city in the years after World War II, just like they did in Berlin.
Rathaus
The Rathaus (City hall), serves as the seat for the mayor of Vienna, as well as the city council. This city council also acts as the council for the Land of Vienna. As Vienna grew rapidly in the middle of the 19th century, the old city hall got too small. The new Rathaus is one of the many buildings that were build on the sight of the old city walls, along the Ringstrasse. The building was opened in 1883, and could be a slightly altered copy of the city hall of Brussels. The facade and the tower look a lot a like. On top the tower of the Rathaus, is the statue of the Rathausman, one of the landmarks of the city. In front of the building lies the Rathauspark, which in summer turns into an open-air cinema, and in winter is the place where the Christmas market takes place.
Burgtheater
Opposite the Rathaus, on the other side of the Ringstrasse, stands the Burgtheater, which was opened in 1888. This building is the successor of an older Burgtheater. This old theater stood at the spot where the new Michaeler wing, of the Hofburg was planned. The theater moved to the new building on October 12, 1888. It is one of the most important theaters for plays in German. As many buildings in Vienna it was destroyed in the second World War, and renovated after the war. Above the entrance of the building is one of the older names of the theater: KK Hofburgtheater (Imperial Court Theather). In the two staircases, the paintings were done by Gustav Klimt, together with his brother Ernst, and colleague Franz Matsch.
Karlskirche
The Karlskirche lies near the Schloss Belverdere, outside of the former city walls on the Karlsplatz. The church has a beautiful dome, and two colums with bas-reliefs depicting scenes from the bible. The build of this baroque church was started in 1713 and finish in 1737, according to the designs by J.B. Fischer von Erlach, and completed by his son.
Opera
The Opera was one of the first of the big buildings erected on the Ringstrasse in the second half of the 19th century, and is in fact just one of three opera's in Vienna. (The others are the Volksoper, and the Theater an der Wien). It is regarded as one of the best operahouses in the world. Tours are given in several languages, during the daytime. Opera tickets are much cheaper than one would expect. Buy tickets at the door just before the performances for a very good deals.
Parliament
The Parliament building was build between 1874 and 1883, with some other features added at later dates. The style of the building is Greek. The reason for that is that the ancient Greeks are considered to be the inventors of the Democracy. Architect Theophil Hansen was inspired by the Zappeion in Athens when he designed the building. The Pallas Athene fountain in front of the Parliament builing was added later, around the turn of the century. The building is adorned with many statues, that have all kind of symbolic meanings.
Votivkirche
The Votivkirche was build between 1856 and 1879. The reason for building the church was a failed attack on the life of Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph in 1853. His brother and later emperor of Mexico Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph called upon the citizens of Vienna to spend money to build a new church, as a gift to God, that his brother survived the attack. Over 300,000 answered the call, and in 1856 contruction began on the Neo-Gothic church. The Votivkirche has two 99 metre high towers, and is located a little bit to the side of the Ringstrasse, at the Sigmund Freud park.
Hundertwasserhaus
The Hundertwasserhaus is maybe one of the most interesting buildings in Vienna, but it can unfortunately only been looked at from the outside. On the other side of the small street is a public toilet build in the style of the haus, so that you can have an impression on how it looks. The building is named after the Austrian painter, sculptor and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser (real name: Ernst Strowasser), who was famous for his multicolored and curved designs. In the whole haus you will not find a 90 degree corner. In Vienna there are more buildings designed by Hundertwasser. Not too far from the Hundertwasserhaus, is the Kunsthaus Wien, and he also designed a incinerator/power plant in Spittelau.
Museum Quartier (MQ)
The Museum Quartier is a complex that unites whole range of museums onto one location. It houses the big Leopold Museum, the MUMOK (Museum of Modern Art) and the Kunsthalle Wien. The first two are build inside the courtyard of what once were the royal stables. The Leopold museum is housed inside a huge white cube, and the MUMOK in a black cube. The MQ also houses a couple of smaller museums, like the ZOOM Children's museum and the architeture center Vienna, venues, bars and restaurant. There are combination tickets on sale, for if you want to visit all the activities. These tickets also includes a 30% discount on perfomances at the Dance Center (Tanz Quartier).
Prater
The Prater park used to be the hunting grounds of the Habsburgs. But nowadays it is a huge park stretching along the river, and bordered on the other side with the Danube Channel. The Ernst Happel football stadium is found in Prater, along with other sporting venues. The most famous part of the park is however the piece where you can find the famous Wiener Riesenrad and the rest of the funfair. In Vienna this piece of the park is often referred to as 'Würstelprater' (Sausage Prater.) The landmark of the Prater, is the giant ferris wheel which was build in 1896/1897. It featured in the films the Third Man (1949), and the James Bond movie, the Living Daylights (1987).
Maria am Gestade
The Maria am Gestade (St. Mary's on the banks), is an old gothic church and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the center of Vienna. There is talk that there was a church on this spot as early as the 9th century, but the first written evidence is from the 12th century. The church that we see now was build between 1394 and 1414, near the banks of the river Danube, which is now about 300 metres away. During the occupation of Vienna by Napoleon, the church served as a stable, but was renovated and reinstated as a church in 1812. For a funny picture, you need to go the corner of the Salvatorgasse and a street called Stoss im Himmel (Push into Heaven). At this point you can unite the streetname, and the 58 metres high tower of the Maria am Gestade in one picture.
Secession
Not far from the Karlsplatz stands the Wiener Secession building. It is one of the best examples of the jugendstill movement that became very influencial at the end of the 19th century. The building is completely white, with the exception of a golden ball on top of the building. The building is also special as it was completely paid for by several jugendstill artists themselves. The building was built in 1897, and decorated by several artists, including Gustav Klimt. His famous Beethoven Fries is one of the main pieces of the collection.
Third Man at the Burgkino
The classic spy film The Third Man plays daily at the BergKino. Set in Vienna after WWII it contains Orson Welles's famous impromptu speech on the cuckoo clock. Follow your viewing up with a Third Man city tour the following day. For the people that can't get enough of this movie, there is a small private third man museum that is opened every saturday afternoon.
Kahlenberg
The Kahlenberg is a 484 metre high hill just north of Vienna. It is one of the best places to get a great view over Vienna. On the top there is a restaurant, and the little chruch of St. Joseph. The restaurant and the Stefaniewarte (a tower), have terraces to enjoy the view over Vienna. It is also a place of historical significance, as this is the place where the Turkish invasion of Europe came to a stop in 1683. Kahlenberg can be reached by city bus 38A, that goes up along the höhenstrasse. Kahlenberg is the last stop. From the top you can walk back Grinzing through the vineyards, passing one of the houses where Beethoven lived on the Grinzingerstrasse.

Events and Festivals
Opera Film Festival
The opera film festival on the Rathausplatz is worth a visit if you’re around in July and August, but the best seasonal attraction is the winter Christmas markets and outdoor ice-skating rink. Visit in late November or December and you’ll see markets spring up all over the place, selling high-quality goods and tasty food and drink.
Christmas market
The first Christmas market in Vienna dates from 1294. The Christmas market or Christkindlmarkt, as it is known now, dates back to the 17th century, when it took place in front of the Stephansdom. Since than it had a lot of different locations, but since 1975 the market is held in front of the Rathaus. The market in front of the Rathaus is also the biggest in Austria. There are also a couple of other Christmas markets in Vienna, there are markets at Freyung, Spittelberg, at Schönbrunn Palace, at Belvedere and at the Karlsplatz.
Marathon
In either April or May the Vienna Marathon is held. Besides the marathon there are several parties in the city. The finish of the marathon is at the Heldenplatz, in front of the Hofburg.
Weather
Located in the centre of Europe, Vienna has a moderate continental climate with average maximum temperatures of around 24 °C from June to early September and winter temperatures slightly above zero during the day and a few degrees below at night (December-February). Rainfall (or some snow in winter) is quite evenly throughout the year but is somewhat higher from May to September.

Austrian Airlines flies between Vienna and Graz, Klagenfurt, Linz and Salzburg.
By Train
Vienna is well served by national and international connections. Check ÖBB (Österreiche Bundesbahn) for schedules, connections and prices to and from Vienna.
If you are travelling in Austria for some time, a Vorteilskarte is a worthwhile purchase. Costing around 20 euros for youths and 100 euros for adults, it gives significant discounts on train travel. Discounts are greater if you buy from touch-screen ticket machines rather than the manned kiosks.
Discounts are also available for groups travelling together within Austria. Simply add more people to a single ticket purchase and it will be calculated automatically.
By Car
Vienna can be reached by a number of highways, a much travelled way is the one coming from Munich via Linz, but there are almost as much roads leading to Vienna, as there are ways to get to Rome.
By Bus
Eurolines is one of the bus companies which connects Vienna with other major European cities.
By Boat
It is possible to go to Vienna by boat from Slovakia. The Twin city liner, connects Bratislava and Vienna. The trip takes about 75 minutes. There are three daily departures from April to October with extra Friday and Saturday evening departures from May onwards.
Also DDSG runs daily hydrofoils to and from Budapest from mid-April to late October, taking around 5,5 hours each way.
Regular services also exist to Passau and all of the important tourist destinations along the Danube. Most services carry bicycles.
By Bicycle
Vienna is one of the major cities along the Danube bike pathway. The stretch from Passau to Vienna and on to Bratislava is easily the most popular long-distance cycling route in Europe, mainly because natural incline, main wind direction and numerous facilities catering to cycle tourists make everything very easy. There are plenty of companies renting out bicyles as well as offering pre-arranged packages with hotels and pensions already booked. Most people need about 5-8 days to cycle from Passau to Vienna at a slow pace, very fit cyclists have been known to do it in 2 days.
Getting Around
By Car
Getting around by car is possible but you have to find you way not getting lost by the many one-way streets in the center of Vienna. If you ever get lost it's likely that you will find yourself again on the Ringstrasse, so you have time to orientate yourself again. If you bring your car and want to leave it on the street for the duration of your stay, ask the place where you are staying if they can help you to obtain an all day parking permit. Short parking zones in the old city of Vienna and surrounding districts 1 - 9 and 20. (= Innere Stad, and the surrounding neighbourhoods, and Leopoldtstad) the costs are 4,60 Euros a day.
By Public Transport
Vienna has an excellent and accessible Metro service called the U-bahn and S-bahn. Trams and busses also service routes throughout the city and surrounding suburbs. €1.70 for a single ticket will get you almost anywhere you want to go using the U-bahn or S-bahn, but most of the inner-city attractions are within walking distance. There are also tickets for multiple days, that work out cheaper if you intent to use the public transport a lot. These tickets can be bought at tabacco shops, and at a lot of the stations and stops.
By Foot
If you stick to the city center, you can walk to most of the sights there, but if you want to get to sights that are a bit further away, like Schloss Schönbrunn, Kahlenberg, Hundertwasserhaus or the Zentralfriedhof, it is better to go by public transport.
By Bike
You can rent bikes at a few places in the city, which is a good way to see the city if you want to avoid walking everything.
Eat
Sacher-Torte
Sacher-Torte is one of the best things to come out of Vienna. This chocolate cake was first created by Franz Sacher in 1832. If you want the original cake Hotel Sacher is the place to go, but also an expensive place to go. There are a lot of other places where you can get a very good Sachertorte (notice the difference in Sacher-Torte and Sachertorte, only the original from Hotel Sacher will be written like Sacher-Torte, all others should be written as Sachertorte), and when you keep walking around the city visiting the many sights, you are going to burn all these calories again, right?
Wiener Schitzel
Where else can you go to taste a Wiener Schnitzel? You can get a schnitzel at almost any restaurant. There is even one (Restaurant Figglmüller) that advertises having the largest schnitzel in town. But be warned, these are also the flattest schnitzels you have ever seen, resulting in eating more crust than actual meat.
Restaurants
- Restaurant Gutenberg is located near the Stephansdom, on a little square called Lugeck. It's a good place to taste some local dishes. Prices are reasonable, keeping in mind that you are in the city center.
Drink
Sleep
Budget
Some budget travellers opt to stay in one of the city's 3 camping sites. For more information check out the Vienna Campings website.
- Camping site Neue Donau is the most central of all and the best choice for cyclists since the Danube cycling path passes right at the entrance. However it is directly next to a train line and a motorway, so it gets considerably noisy. It is only open during easter and during summer.
- Camping site Wien Süd is about 8 kms away from the city centre, but with good public transport options. It is relatively quiet in an old castle's garden. It is only open during easter and during summer.
- The camping site Wien West rents out Bungalows in summer. If you come and go by car on West-Autobahn A1 it is the most convenient camping site for you. It is open year-round and is connected to Vienna by public transport.
