12 experiences that will show you the true Vienna

Jul 19, 2024 • 7 min read

Vienna’s storied coffeehouses, including Café Central, exemplify this cultured city. Giannis Papanikos / Shutterstock

With a millennium-long history, Vienna boasts ruins and relics, masterpiece-stuffed museums and grand palaces. 

It’s also a modern metropolis that’s consistently rated one of the world’s most liveable cities , visible throughout its gracious Bezirke (districts) and cutting-edge cultural attractions.

With an abundance of things to do in Vienna, here’s where to begin. 

1. Start at Stephansdom

Gothic and glorious, iconic Stephansdom and its 136m(446ft)-high Sorth Tower loom over the central Innere Stadt. While the church is free to enter, you’ll have to pay to get a close-up look at the Gothic masterworks in the central nave. An elevator whisks you up to the 21-ton Pummerin bell in the North Tower. You can also tackle the 343 steps up to the South Tower steps for views of the colorful mosaic roof tiles and sprawling city views. You’ll have a more somber experience in the subterranean Catacombs , an ossuary for those who perished during the Plague.

2. Tour the imperial complex at the Hofburg

 A show of imperial power through architecture, this 240,000-sq-m (2,583,338-sq-ft) castle complex is where the Habsburgs stacked up their endless collections of art and artifacts. The visit begins in the Sisi Museum and Imperial Apartments, then leads through a resplendent enfilade of 17 regal rooms, finishing in the frescoed, columned Prunksaal (State Hall of the Austrian National Library). Cabinets displaying the Austrian crown jewels dazzle in the Kaiserliche Schatzkammer , while the Weltmuseum teems with 250,000 anthropological objects amassed by curious royals. The castle’s most famous current residents are the majestic Lipizzaner stallions that regularly demonstrate breathtaking feats of equestrianism at the Spanish Riding School ’s baroque winter arena. Feeling blinged out? Take a cultural breather in the rose-laden Volksgarten or lounge on the Burggarten ’s lawns. 

Planning tip: The Hofburg sits on the Ringstrasse, a grand boulevard built after the city’s fortification walls were razed in 1850. A leisurely walk or a tram ride (lines 1 or 2) will reveal some of the city’s architectural highlights, including the neo-Renaissance Staatsoper , the Greek temple–like Austrian Parliament, the neo-Gothic Rathaus (City Hall) and the Renaissance-style University of Vienna.

3. Explore a museum wonderland 

Two institutional treasures sit next to the Hofburg, on Maria-Theresien-Platz: a symmetrical pair of grandly domed buildings that house the Naturhistorisches Museum Vienna and the Kunsthistorisches Museum . In these museums’ endless galleries, the collections span seven millennia. Browse meteorites and minerals; antiquities from ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome; precious and peculiar art finds in the Kunstkammer (cabinet of curiosities); and world-famous old-master paintings.

Just opposite, the MuseumsQuartier is a remarkable cultural district of some 11 exhibition spaces, occupying what was once the imperial stables. Two heavyweights bookend the courtyard: the Leopold Museum , with its 8300 works of Austrian modernism, and MUMOK , filled with expressive, experimental and avant-garde pieces.

Detour: The city’s more than 100 museums contain weird, wacky and wondrous displays. Think spots like the Funeral Museum at the Central Cemetery , museums celebrating everything from clowns to contraception , and even tours of the sewer system and the Spittelau waste-incineration plant .

4. Step into splendor at Schönbrunn Palace

Since stately Schloss Schönbrunn is Vienna’s most visited attraction, it pays to get on one of the first tours of the 45 opulent Rococo state rooms, dazzling ceremonial halls and sumptuous private apartments of the summer Habsburg residence and final home of Empress Elisabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph. You’ll emerge onto the grounds of the Schlosspark, still adorned with the palatial fountains, obelisks and hilltop triumphal arch Gloriette , commissioned by Maria Theresa. Founded in 1752 by her husband, Emperor Franz I Stephan von Lothringen, Schönbrunn’s Tiergarten is the oldest zoo in the world.

5. Admire the art at Schloss Belvedere

After he commissioned a new palace in 1723, connoisseur of the arts Prince Eugene of Savoy filled it to the brim with masterpieces. Some 50 years later, Empress Maria Theresa turned it into Vienna’s first public museum, the Imperial Picture Gallery. Three centuries on, Schloss Belvedere remains a baroque work of art in itself – and displays a collection of top-notch Austrian art from the Middle Ages to the present day. It’s also the home of Gustav Klimt’s world-famous The Kiss – just one highlight of the largest holdings of his work anywhere in the world. At Lower Belvedere , you can tour the home of the military-general prince, all marbled galleries, frescoed ceilings and gold-decked rooms. Belvedere’s free-to-enter parterre and baroque gardens are said to have been inspired by those of the Château de Versailles.

6. Step out at Prater Park

A former imperial hunting ground turned quintessential Vienna recreational space, the Prater is perhaps most popular for the giant Würstelprater amusement park. The 200 attractions here cover family-friendly rides, swinging adrenaline highs and the famed red Riesenrad (Ferris wheel). A new Prater museum displays historical objects related to the fairground dating back to its 1766 inception, while the Panorama Vienna exhibition revives the grandeur of the Vienna World Fair, held here in 1873.

7. Sample Vienna’s coffee culture

Vienna’s bentwood-chair-filled, wood-paneled and chandelier-lit living rooms, the famous cafes here really do have suited waiters and live music. They’re places you linger over a coffee, newspaper in hand, and people-watch for hours. Vienna’s coffeehouse culture has been brewing since the late 1600s – but where’s the best spot to find a cup of this UNESCO intangible cultural heritage ? You can’t go wrong at art deco Prückel , marbled Schwarzenberg and the cosmopolitan classic Landtmann , all Ringstrasse originals. Or sample the style spectrum from gilded and luminous Café Central to dusky and edgy Kaffee Alt Wien .

Local tip: Third-wave, new-generation coffee shops and specialty roasters are as much a fixture of the Vienna coffee scene as their traditional ancestors. Top picks in the central districts include Balthasar Kaffee Bar , Kaffeemik , CoffeePirates , The Good Coffee Society , GOTA Coffee Experts and Kaffeefabrik .

8. Sip and swirl in urban vineyards 

Encircled by 700 hectares (1730 acres) of vineyards , Vienna is the only European capital where wine is grown within the city limits. The picture-perfect hillside villages of the 19th (Döbling), especially Grinzing, are perfect for tasting both the white grape grüner veltliner, as well as Heuriger (wine tavern) culture. Can’t make it to the vineyard-covered fringes? In town,  10er Marie is the oldest Heuriger in Vienna, dating back to 1740. Ponder its history over a glass or two in its charming garden.

Local tip: On the last weekend of September, you can join locals for Wiener Weinwandertag (Vienna Wine Hiking Day), a ramble across the city’s vintners and vineyards. 

9. Meander through local outdoor markets

You’ll find it hard to find a district or neighborhood without a market and lineup of tasty pavilions at its heart. These gatherings are feasts for the senses, with samples to taste, smells to savor and the sounds of haggling lingering in the air. The city’s most popular bazaars are the 6th district’s Naschmarkt , which has 120 food stalls and a spirited Saturday flea market; the 170+ stalls representing cultures from around the world at Brunnenmarkt in the 16th; and culinary cornerstone Karmelitermarkt in the 2nd.

Local tip:  Lesser-known local markets are delightful, too. Vorgartenmarkt in the 2nd is a laid-back counterpart to the jostle of Karmeilitermarkt, while Kutschkermarkt in the 18th is a regional farmers market with an array of chic vendors.

10. Hike in the Vienna hills 

If you want to venture beyond the green capital’s manicured parks and landscaped lawns , choose one of the 12 signposted Stadtwanderweg (city hiking trails) that thread through the Vienna Woods, which surround the city.

Planning tip: Trail 1 tracks through vineyards to the near 500m(1640ft)-high Kahlenberg viewpoint, while number 9 takes you deeper into the expanse of Prater Park.

11. Relax on the Danube waterfront

When not at spectacular Alpine lakes, Viennese in the summer months can be spotted at riverside joints and sandbank hangouts along the beautiful Danube – which, thanks to centuries of engineering, has several local incarnations. Picnic on the promenade or kick back in a bar on the street-art-covered Danube Canal (Donaukanal). Snag a spot on the banks of the Old Danube (Alte Donau), a prime swimming locale – or head to the New Danube (Neue Donau) to grab a deck chair and cocktails at pop-up bar Copa Beach , and to get town to DJ-directed beats at Vienna City Beach Club . 

Local tip: Along the Danube Canal, the anchored boat Motto am Fluss and the urban beach bar and silent-disco spot Strandbar Herrman are both top choices.

12. Slide down the tallest building in Austria

Austria’s tallest structure, the 252m(827ft)-high Danube Tower (Donauturm) has been a staple of the Vienna skyline for 60 years. In addition to the panoramic viewing platform and restaurant, the tower has a new high-altitude thrill: you can now whoosh down to the viewing deck from a starting point of 165m (541ft) on Europe’s highest slide.

3 Days in Vienna: The Perfect Vienna Itinerary

Last updated: July 24, 2024 . Written by Laurence Norah - 46 Comments

We think that three days in Vienna is the perfect amount of time for a visit. Three days will let you see the majority of the main sights in this beautiful city that you’re interested in, plus add in a few of the less well-known attractions, without being too rushed.

In this post, we’re going to share with you our idea of the perfect itinerary for three days in Vienna. As well as covering all the key attractions we think you’ll enjoy visiting, we’re also going to share some practical tips and advice for your visit, including tips on where to stay, where to eat, tips for getting around Vienna, and how to save money on sightseeing.

If you do have less time in Vienna, check out our itinerary for two days in Vienna . But now, let’s take a look at how to spend 3 days in Vienna.

Table of Contents:

3 Days in Vienna

Day 1 in vienna, mozarthaus vienna.

Vienna is very much associated with Mozart, one of the most well known composers of Classical music. Vienna was his home for many years during his prolific career, and he lived at a number of properties during his time in the city. Only one of these homes survives today – the Mozarthaus , which you’ll find in Vienna’s Old Town on Domgasse. Which is our suggested first stop on day one of our three day Vienna itinerary.

Mozart lived at this property for three years between 1784 and 1787, and it has been open to the public since 1941. In 2004 it was totally redesigned, and now the whole building is a centre dedicated to the life of the composer.

You don’t have to be a Mozart fan to enjoy a visit to this building – it’s a good insight into life in general in Vienna in the late 18th century. Naturally it’s also filled with information about Mozart and his life, so even if you don’t know much when you arrive – you’ll certainly know a lot when you leave!

The Mozarthaus is open daily from 10am – 7pm, and there’s an admission fee. You can see the official website for more details.

Entrance is included for holders of the Vienna Pass .

You can also buy individual tickets online in advance here .

St. Stephen’s Cathedral

Just a short walk from the Mozarthaus is the magnificent St. Stephen’s Cathedral , the seat of the Catholic church in Vienna. This is found right in the centre of the old town. and is hard to miss!

As you approach you will instantly notice the roof, which is decorated with glazed and painted tiles in an ornate design. There are also two large towers – the massive south tower, which stands at 136m tall, and the smaller north tower which is 68 metres tall. Both of these towers are open to the public, and can be climbed for a fee. As expected, the higher south tower offers the best views over the city.

Naturally, you can also go inside the cathedral, which is of a largely Romanesque / Gothic design, and predominantly dates from the Middle Ages. The three nave design with it’s huge columns is definitely an impressive sight and you can visit for free. You can also visit the Treasury.

This does require a small fee (included with the Vienna Pass), but you get to see more stuff and it offers good views of the main church interior from a first floor viewing area. The fee also means it’s a lot less busy, so you can enjoy the building without feeling too hemmed in.

Vienna State Opera House Tour

Vienna has a world famous state opera house which dates from 1869 and has played host to some of the world’s most famous singers and conductors.

If you are particularly interested in the Opera, then a night here watching a performance is likely to be an experience you will never forget. You can check performance times and buy tickets for shows at various venues in Vienna here .

However, you can also visit the opera house without seeing a performance, by taking a guided tour.

These last around forty minutes, and you’ll learn all about the fascinating history of the building, see all the main highlights, and even get a behind the scenes look at how an opera house is run.

Tours run a number of times during the day – see the official website for information and pricing.

Wien Museum

If you’re interested in learning more about the history of Vienna, we suggest heading to the Vienna Museum, or Wien Museum.

This is spread out over a number of buildings across the city, but we recommend you visit the main building on Karlsplatz .

Spread across three floors, this building houses an excellent spread of artistic and historical exhibits that will give you an excellent overview of the history of Vienna, as well as some of its more notable artists and other residents over the ages.

On display you’ll find everything from neolithic finds through to Roman archaeological discoveries through to displays from the present day.

There are also notable artworks from Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele on display, as well as two incredible models of the city, one of which shows what Vienna would have looked like in the mid-19th century.

Even if you aren’t usually a “museum” person, we think you will enjoy the Wien Museum, and if you only visit one museum in the city, this should be it.

Karlskirche

Right next to the Wien Museum is the beautifully ornate Karlskirche, or St. Charles Church.

This is an 18th century Baroque style church with two impressive spiral columns on the exterior. It was built by Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI, largely to celebrate the end of the plague in the city, and is dedicated to St. Charles, known as a plague healer.

It’s a striking building with the central dome and two spires, and the lake in front of it offers a lovely reflection as well.

Of course, you can also go inside, where one of the highlights are the spectacular frescoes that adorn the interior of the dome.

You can also take a panoramic elevator for a closer view of the frescoes. There’s an admission fee for the church, and you can see that and the opening times at the official website.

We’re going to round off our first day of sight-seeing in Vienna with a visit to one of Vienna’s most famous markets – the Naschmarkt . This is just a short walk from Karlskirche.

The Naschmarkt runs for almost a mile along Wienzelle, and is Vienna’s largest market by far. It’s also got some pedigree, having existed here since the 16th century – although back then if you came here you’d largely only be able to buy milk.

Today there is a lot more on offer than milk. You’ll find fruit and vegetables from the around the world, exotic spices, olives, cheeses, meat, seafood – almost anything you can imagine in fact. There are also many restaurants and food stalls serving everything from sushi to Viennese specialities. A fine way to end your first day exploring Vienna, we think you’ll agree!

Day 2 in Vienna

Spanish riding school.

One of Vienna’s most famous attractions is the Spanish Riding School, home of the Lipizzan horses. These horses and their riders regularly perform shows in the winter riding school arena, a purpose built building which dates from 1729. The shoes focus on classical dressage, and are rightly world famous.

However, you don’t have to book tickets for a show to see these beautiful horses in action. On a number of mornings through the week, the riders and the horses do training exercises in the arena, and you can watch these training exercises for a moderate fee.

It’s worth noting that these are training exercises rather than a whole show, so don’t go expecting to see an elaborate co-ordinated spectacle. If that’s what you’re after, you should attend an actual performance. Also note that photography is not permitted during the training.

If you are interested in the behind the scenes operation of the Spanish Riding School, you can also take a guided tour. We were lucky enough to be taken on a private guided tour, and very much enjoyed getting to meet the horses and learn about their lives.

Just be aware that for the horses’ health, you aren’t allowed to actually touch the horses (although as you can see from the photo, the horses did try and have a nibble on my hair in case it was actually hay!).

For information on times and prices, see the official website of the Spanish Riding School .

Entry to the morning exercise is included on the Vienna Pass . You can also book tickets online here .

I’m now going to suggest a number of museums and art galleries that you might be interested in visiting.

Visiting all three of these might be a challenge if you also want to do the activities at the end of the day, but I wanted to include them all so you can decide which sounds best to you.

You could also add them in to the first day of the itinerary if you have time. It all depends on your own pacing.

The first museum you should consider adding to your Vienna itinerary is the Albertina . This is an art museum, found in the Hofburg Palace complex, which is home to one of the largest print rooms in the world.

With over a million items in the collection, you are assured to see something you like, with art from world renowned artists from Monet to Cezanne to Picasso on display. It’s also home to the Hofburg Palace staterooms, which included as part of your entry fee.

The Albertina is open daily from 10am to 6pm, and until 9pm on Wednesdays and Fridays. There’s an admission fee – you can see more at the official website here . Entry is included on the Vienna Pass.

Natural History Museum

If you prefer your museums to contain fossils, dinosaurs and other items of a natural history theme, then you should head to Vienna’s Natural History Museum .

This is housed in a spectacular building (Vienna has a lot of spectacular buildings), which was purpose built and opened in 1889 as a museum to house the Habsburg collection. Today, the museum collection contains over 30 milion items, collected over 250 years, and makes for an impressive visit.

The Natural History Museum will definitely be for anyone who loves to learn about the history of the earth, and there’s everything here from dinosaur skeletons to exhibits on the history of the solar system. You could easily spend a whole day just exploring this museum if you wanted to.

The Natural History Museum is open Thursday – Monday from 9am – 6.30pm, and Wednesday from 9am – 9pm. It is closed on Tuesdays and for public holidays. You can see full opening hours and ticket prices on the official website here . It’s also included on the Vienna Pass.

Note that directly opposite the Natural History Museum is the Kunsthistoriche Museum . This is built in the same style and is a museum to the arts. So you might opt to visit this instead of (or as well as!) the Natural History Museum.

Sigmund Freud Museum

With Jess’s background as a psychologist, naturally, we had to visit the Sigmund Freud museum in Vienna – and this might be something you are interested in as well.

The museum is housed in the former apartment and office of Freud himself, and has been open to the public since 1971. It’s not a huge space, but it does contain a number of items related to Freud including some of his clothes and part of his antiques collection.

The museum also has information related to the history of psychoanalysis and its influence on art and society. However, it does not contain much original furniture, as most of this was taken to London by Freud when he moved there, and is now in the Freud Museum in London.

There is a small fee to visit the museum, and do be aware that there can be a wait at busy times as it is not a large space and it is a popular spot to visit. You can see opening times and prices at the official website .

Included on the Vienna Pass.

City River Cruise

We always enjoy taking a river cruise if it’s an option in a city, and Vienna of course has the Danube. A river cruise is a relaxing way to see a few sights whilst taking the load off your feet (and perhaps enjoying a refreshing beverage?), and there are a number of operators who run cruises in Vienna.

We took the tour with City Cruises Vienna on the MS Blue Danube, which was conveniently included on our Vienna Pass .

This was a fun and comfortable experience, and we saw parts of the city, including a lot of street art, that we hadn’t seen before. Cruises run throughout the year, but the schedule varies depending on time of year.

If you don’t opt for the Vienna Pass, you can book a cruise online in advance here .

Danube Tower

If you’re looking for a good view in Vienna, look no further than the Danube Tower . This tower, originally built to host the 1964 Viennese Horticultural show, is the tallest structure in Austria.

From the viewing platforms, which are 450ft above ground level, you get an excellent view of the entire city and much of the surrounding area.

As well as the viewing area (accessed by high speed elevator) there are also two revolving restaurants in the tower, which would make for a good spot for your evening meal. This would also be a great place to watch the sunset at the end of your second day exploring Vienna!

The Danube Tower is open from 10am – midnight every day, and there’s a fee for visiting. You can find out more on the official site here .

It’s included on the Vienna Pass, or you can buy tickets online in advance here .

Day 3 in Vienna

Schönbrunn palace.

No visit to Vienna is complete without a visit to the spectacular Schönbrunn Palace , home of the Habsburg empire.

This is a large complex with a lot to see and do, so we suggest you allocate at least half a day, if not more, to your visit.

You’ll also want to arrive as early as you can, as the queues here can become long as the day progresses.

On arrival, you’ll want to join those queues and book your time slot for the palace tour, as well as get tickets for whichever of the other attractions you want to visit. We’d highly recommend access to the gardens, which are massive.

Once you have your tickets and tour time set up, you can plan what to do for the rest of your visit.

There is so much to do at Schönbrunn, including a big zoo (the oldest in the Western world!), the Imperial Carriage Museum, and the Orangery. A visit to the Gloriette, a huge structure which crowns a hill here, offers great views of the palace.

We’d also highly recommend taking the time to visit the Apple Strudel show, where you can learn all about traditional apple strudel making techniques – plus eat a slice yourself.

Schönbrunn Palace is open every day, including public holidays. Closing times vary depending on the time of year, but it opens every morning at 8am, when tickets and display rooms are opened. You can see opening times and prices here .

Schönbrunn Palace is also included on the Vienna Pass , and we highly recommend the pass if you are planning on visiting the palace, which is relatively expensive due to all the various attractions on site.

If you don’t want to buy a pass, we recommend buying a ticket in advance to skip the lines, which you can do from the official site here .

Another option is to take a guided walking tour of the palace, such as this well reviewed one . This will also skip the lines, as well as give you lots of information and historical context about the palace.

To be honest, if you have the time and inclination, you could easily spend all day at Schönbrunn Palace, and we wouldn’t blame you if you choose to do just that. On a warm sunny day it’s definitely one of the nicest places to be in the city.

If you’d rather do a bit more sightseeing though on your third day in Vienna, here are a couple more options for you to consider.

Belvedere Museum

If you have time, we very much recommend a visit to the UNESCO world heritage listed Belvedere Museum .

This actually consists of two buildings, the Upper and Lower Belvedere. which were constructed  in the early 18th century as the summer residence for Prince Eugene, a military commander and statesman of the Holy Roman Empire.

The two palaces are separated by sloped landscaped gardens which contain a number of water features and sculptures, and are considered some of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Europe.

Within the museum are a number of artworks, including the largest collection of Klimt paintings in the world, as well as works from Monet, Van Gogh, Renoir and Cezanne. The Upper Belvedere also affords an excellent view of the city.

The Upper Belvedere is open daily from 9am – 6pm (9pm on Fridays), and the Lower Belvedere is open daily from 10am – 6pm (9pm on Fridays). Each palace has an individual entry fee, and you can see full details of fees and opening times here .

Both are also included on the Vienna Pass, or you can buy your tickets online in advance here .

Time Travel Vienna

If you are travelling in Vienna as a family, or you prefer to learn about history in a more interactive way, then you might enjoy a visit to Time Travel Vienna .

This is a fun tour through 2,000 years of Viennese history, told through the medium of costumed guides, animatronic shows and a “5D” cinema experience, as well as various special effects and music.

The tour lasts around an hour, and is available in a number of languages. Definitely a fun way to learn about Vienna!

Time Travel Vienna is open daily from 10am – 8pm, with the last tour starting at 7pm. There’s a fee for entry, and you can check times and prices here , and book tickets in advance here .

Prater Park and Ferris Wheel

Last on our list of what to do in Vienna for three days, before we move on to some practicalities for your visit, is a visit to Prater Park.

This is an old traditional amusement park, a couple of metro stops from the old town centre, which is home to Vienna’s iconic Giant Ferris Wheel .

Originally built in 1897, this was the world’s largest ferris wheel for decades, right up until 1985 in fact. It was seriously damaged in World War 2, and today’s version is the rebuilt model from after the war.

If you’re visiting with a partner and  feeling romantic, you can even hire out your own cabin on the Giant Ferris Wheel and have a romantic meal . Group cabin reservations are also possible, perhaps if you are celebrating a special event.

Otherwise, you can just do what we did, and take the standard tour which lasts around twenty minutes, and offers lovely views of the city.

Prater Park itself is also a lot of fun, especially for families. There are rides, an arcade, a Madame Tussauds and a number of places where you can get food. One thing to be aware of though is that it attractions aren’t open that late all year round, so check opening times on the official website before you go to avoid disappointment.

For the wheel, there is a fee to ride it, and it’s also included on the Vienna Pass. You can also purchase tickets in advance here .

3 Day Vienna Itinerary Map

To help you with your planning, we’ve put together a map of all the attractions in our three day Vienna itinerary. You can see this below, and access the original on Google Maps here .

3 Day Vienna Itinerary Summary

• Day 2: Spanish Riding School, Albertina, Museum of Natural History, Sigmund Freud Museum, City River Cruise, Danube Tower
• Day 3: Schönbrunn Palace, Unteres Belvedere, Time Travel Vienna, Prater Park and Ferris Wheel

Where (and what) to Eat in Vienna

Vienna has a wide range of excellent restaurants and cafes to choose from, at a variety of price points. There are also plenty of bars of course. Local food specialities in Vienna include Wiener Schnitzel (a breaded veal cutlet), Tafelspitz (boiled beef) and of course, Apfelstrudel, or Apple Strudel.

Many of the restaurants throughout Vienna will serve the classics, with prices ranging from 13 – 18 euros for a main course in our experience. We enjoyed particularly good food at Zwolf Apostkeller  and Glacis Beisl , both of which serve high quality traditional Viennese food at reasonable prices.

Where to Stay in Vienna for 3 Days

As we often do when visiting a city like Vienna, we opted for an apartment . This was right in the city centre, and meant that we had room to work, cook meals and do our laundry.

Of course, there are plenty more options in Vienna, with everything from hostels through to mid-range hotels and of course, luxury five star hotels available. Here are some recommended options to consider:

• wombat’s CITY Hostels Vienna – Found in Naschmarkt, near the large city market, and close to the museum quarter, this is a highly rated hostel that offers both dormitory and private rooms at a great price. For hostels, also consider CH-Hostel .
• CH-Budget Centre Rooms – at the budget end of the spectrum, this is a well located guesthouse offering free wifi, private bathrooms and TV’s, with a good value breakfast also available.
• Motel One Wien-Staatsoper – just 100 yards from the Vienna State opera, this three star property is fantastic value. Air conditioned rooms are all en-suite, and WiFi is available throughout.
• Hotel Am Parkring – A highly rated and great value four star property that offers stunning views over the city from its high floor location
• Hotel König von Ungarn – Vienna’s oldest hotel, this four star property is well reviewed and rooms come with free wifi and air conditioning
• Hotel Imperial – a great value yet impressive 5 star luxury hotel in the heart of the city, with a range of rooms that include luxury amenities, marble bathrooms, and at the higher end, a butler service
• Grand Hotel Wien – a highly rated and centrally located 5 star historic property which offers 5 restaurants, luxurious rooms, spa and business centre. A fantastic choice at the high end

We recommend you checkout the Vienna listings on Booking.com if you prefer a hotel stay, we find they usually come back with the widest choice and best deals, plus once you book a few times you get access to Genius discounts, which can save you even more.

For more tips and ideas on how to get the best deals on accommodation (and more!), check out our comprehensive travel resources page .

How to Save Money on your Vienna Trip

As a European capital. Vienna is not exactly a budget destination, although there are ways that you can save money on your trip.

Nearly all the attractions on this list carry an entry fee, which ranges from a few euros up to thirty euros per person. So the cost of sightseeing can very quickly add up.

Thankfully there’s a solution, which is the excellent Vienna Pass . We’re big fans of using city passes like this to save money, and think that the Vienna Pass is one of the best value city pass cards available.

To give you an idea of the savings, if you visited all the attractions on the itinerary above, you’d be looking at over 250 euros in attraction entry fees per person.

With the Vienna Pass, all of the attractions above are included, with the exception of the Karlskirche, Wien Museum, Time Travel Vienna and the Vienna State Opera Tour. It also includes a great many other attractions not listed above, which means you can see even more should you want to.

And a three day Vienna Pass normally only costs 159 euros (as of July 2024). As you can see, this is a considerable saving.

Of course, you’ll want to check your own savings against the attractions you want to visit, and you can see many of the attractions covered by the Vienna Pass here . We definitely think you’ll find it saves you money, and the included Hop on Hop off bus is a real bonus as well for helping you get around the city.

Finally, if you don’t think you’ll use the Vienna Pass enough to get value out of it, you might instead consider the Vienna City Card . This includes free transport around the city, as well as discounts at the major attractions and museums.

Where to see Live Music in Vienna?

A popular question that we are asked from visitors to Vienna is where to attend a classical music concert in the city.

There are many venues throughout the city which offer live music, from the opera house through to performances in churches, many of which will be classical music concerts.

Popular performances include:

• Vivaldi’s Four Seasons at Karlskirche
• Mozart and Strauss at Kursalon Vienna
• Classical Concerts at Schönbrunn Palace
• Classical Concerts in St. Anne’s Church
• Classic Ensemble Vienna in St. Peter’s Church

For more options, visit this page on the official website for Vienna, which has event listings for every type of musical event, and in particular, classic music lovers will want to check out the Classical Music listings .

You can also purchase tickets for live music in Vienna on this website .

How to Get Around Vienna

Vienna is a very walkable city for the most part, and the majority of this itinerary can be done on foot. There are a few locations that are a little further out of the old town centre, like Schönbrunn Palace, the Danube Tower and Prater Park, for which you might need to take public transport or a taxi.

Vienna has an excellent public transport system that includes a metro, buses, and trams. We invested in a three day travel card for our time in Vienna, which gave us free access to all the public transport options in the city.

To be honest though, we didn’t use it enough to really justify the cost – we found ourselves walking between most of the sights, or taking Vienna’s hop on hop off bus.

As discussed above, if you pick up a Vienna Pass , this includes a Hop on Hop off bus pass good for the duration of the pass, which is excellent value.

There are multiple routes around the city, including to all the major sights in this itinerary (including Schönbrunn Palace), and it’s a fun way to do a bit of sight-seeing whilst resting your legs as well.

If you don’t pick up a Vienna Pass or a travel card, instead consider the Vienna City Card . This includes free transport around the city, as well as discounts at the major attractions and museums.

Hello there ! currently planning an (almost) 3-day city break to Vienna with my partner and stumbled upon your post.. it’s really very helpful, especially when (like us) , you don’t have enough spare time to plan trips ahead! thank you 😃 About Vienna pass, does it provide skip-the-line/fast-track access to the sights it includes? And would you need to book a slot separately to visit each sight, or you can just drop by, show your Vienna pass and get into the sight?

Laurence Norah says

14th September 2023 at 6:11 pm

Hi Marianna!

Thanks very much 🙂 So the Vienna Pass currently (September 2023) includes skip the line access to the following attractions:

Belvedere 21 – Museum of Contemporary Art Albertina Belvedere (Upper and Lower Belvedere) Desert Experience House Gloriette, Maze, Privy Garten, Orangery Garden and Children’s Museum at Schönbrunn Palace Gardens Hofmobiliendepot · Imperial Furniture Collection Imperial Palaces Schloss Hof and Schloss Niederweiden Imperial Treasury Vienna Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna (Museum of Art History) Leopold Museum mumok (Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation) Museum of Natural History Museum of Technology Schönbrunn Zoo Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel State Hall of the Austrian National Library

As far as I know you don’t need to pre-book with the Vienna Pass, you should just be able to turn up 🙂

Have a great time in Vienna and let me know if you have any more questions! Also, if you have any feedback about this guide after you have visited feel free to let me know 🙂

1st September 2023 at 8:20 am

I will be in Vienna on a business trip for 3 days. The hotel is in the center (Stephansplatz), I will use the metro twice a day. What card will be profitable to buy or single tickets. There will be no time to visit museums.

3rd September 2023 at 7:54 pm

Honestly, only using the metro twice a day I think buying single tickets will make more sense. A single ticket is currently €2.4, so two rides will be €4.8. A 24 hour metro card is €8. So unless you will be riding more, single tickets will make more sense.

Have a great time in Vienna!

Rachna says

20th July 2023 at 5:33 am

Love the itinerary. We are going from August 7- Aug 10. Do you think we can cover eveything in this. We also have a concert that we pan to see in one of the days. if u had to suggest 2 museums which one would you suggest n what will u leave .

24th July 2023 at 9:00 am

Thanks! Yes, you should be able to see everything on the itinerary. The Wien Museum is still mostly closed other than some temporary exhibits. In terms of which museums to visit, it really depends on what you are interested in seeing. If you prefer natural history (dinosaurs etc), then obviously the Natural History Museum would be a pick. But there are museums covering art, psychology, etc. So it really depends on what you want to see and what interests you 🙂

Enjoy Vienna!

Hi Laurence and Jessica,

Thank you for this wonderful information. My family and I are leaving for Vienna this Friday. We are visiting a few other places in Europe. Do you have any blogs on other cities?

5th July 2023 at 10:10 am

We certainly do! It will depend on where you are going but we have content on a number of European cities and destinations, including Rome, London, Paris and Barcelona. You can see all the areas where we have content on our destinations pages:

https://www.findingtheuniverse.com/category/destinations/europe/ https://independenttravelcats.com/category/travel-destinations/

Let me know if you have any questions, and have a great trip!

5th July 2023 at 1:40 pm

Hi Laurence,

Thank you for this. I see you have information on Munich and Berlin, which we are also visiting so I will check out those cities. Do you have any information on Salzburg and Prague? Those are the other two cities on our trip.

Kind regards, Lea

6th July 2023 at 11:44 am

I don’t unfortunately, I have visited both those cities but it was a very long time ago so my information is not up to date. I do hope you have a lovely trip though!

6th July 2023 at 2:09 pm

Thank you Laurence,

Belle Wong says

19th May 2023 at 9:35 am

Thanks for the Info. For the Spanish Riding schools, to visit with the Vienna Pass, do you need to pre-book ? Can you go any time or need to go at specific timing ?

20th May 2023 at 2:24 pm

So with the Vienna Pass you can only visit the training which takes place in the morning. It should be between 10am and 11am, with the entry time is 15 minutes before that. You don’t need to pre-book as far as I know. Hopefully this answers your question!

Have a great time in Vienna and let me know if you have any more questions 🙂

30th August 2022 at 8:02 am

Thanks for this wonderful info

30th August 2022 at 11:16 am

My pleasure Anu, have a great time in Vienna!

John Wong says

11th July 2022 at 10:35 pm

Hello, Can you explain how to book the MS Blue Danube 75 min Boat Cruise ahead of time, with the Vienna Pass? E.g. Do I buy the Vienna Pass now, then the pass will give me some coupon code, and then I can use the code to book the Boat Cruise?

12th July 2022 at 11:23 am

As far as I know the Vienna Pass doesn’t currently allow for advance bookings in this way. Other city passes do allow this for sites with reservations, such as the Paris Pass for reservations to places like the Louvre, but this isn’t currently supported. What we did was we just went to the ticket office with our pass and booked our tour in person.

30th October 2021 at 7:55 pm

Thanks for all the good suggestions, but did I miss something? What about the Kunsthistorisches Museum?

31st October 2021 at 10:35 am

Thanks very much for your comment! So I also like the Kunsthistoriche Museum, which I included in my 2 day Vienna itinerary . I didn’t want to overfill this itinerary, but you are right in that it does warrant an inclusion. So I’ve made a note about it in the Natural History museum section.

26th February 2020 at 8:33 am

Thank you for this! One of the best blog posts about a city I’ve honesty ever read. You’ve given me plenty of ideas for our upcoming trip!!

26th February 2020 at 10:42 am

Thanks very much Anna – that’s appreciated! Have a great time in Vienna, and do let me know if you have any questions!

stuart rosen says

30th October 2019 at 9:09 am

Very informative

Looking to go in May is this a good time ? Also Saltzburg day trip can it be done in one day have limited time?

30th October 2019 at 11:00 am

Thanks very much. May would be a great time, the weather is likely to be fairly warm but it won’t be as crowded as the summer months. It’s one of our favourite months to travel in Europe.

It would be possible to visit Salzburg from Vienna as a day trip, although be aware it’s around a 2.5 hour train ride each way, so you will want to get an early morning train to make the most of your time in Salzburg.

Have a great trip!

3rd March 2019 at 4:13 am

We will be going to Vienna end of March, thank for the helpful tip. If you don’t mind, can you tell us which apt you stayed at as we are looking for one with Airbnb Much appreciated

3rd March 2019 at 9:27 am

I don’t mind at all. To be honest though, we rarely share our AirBnB apartments as we find that many hosts don’t stay on the platform for more than a few years, and so our recommendations can go out of date very quickly. Our apartment was this one , however you’ll notice they are not currently taking reservations until July 🙁

1st March 2019 at 5:46 pm

Will be following this itinerary on our upcoming trip this weekend!

Thank you for sharing this…. looking forward to all that Vienna has to offer

Travel Guide To Vienna

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

Vienna used to be terribly old-fashioned. Its broad, sweeping boulevards are as grandiose as anything in Paris, but the atmosphere in its corner cafés was generally pretty sleepy. Today, the city is as handsome and elegant as ever, but it feels fresh and sprightly. With a host of new bars and restaurants to compliment its haughty monuments, Vienna has rediscovered its joie de vivre .

Where to stay in Vienna

DO & CO HOTEL Stephansplatz 12, Vienna (00 43 1 24 188; www.doco.com ). With its mirrored façade reflecting the Gothic grandeur and coloured roof tiles of St Stephan's Cathedral, Do & Co has a spectacular sense of place. The 43-bedroom hotel occupies the upper floors of Haas House, a modern intrusion in the heart of historic Vienna. Indulgent interiors include deep sofas, Etro toiletries in glass-box bathrooms (with teak louvres for discretion) and padded walls of yellow suede. Turkish owner Attila Dogudan has introduced a few Byzantine touches: soft kilim bedspreads, hand-worked, silver-effect Turkish coffee trays for bedside tables and coasters made from leather-bound kilim off-cuts. As Do & Co is an upmarket catering company, the eclectic menu makes for a sublime dinner. DO & CO Hotel was featured in The Hot List 2007. £££ HOTEL BRISTOL Kaerntner Ring 1, Vienna (00 43 1 515 160, www.westin.com/Bristol ). A feast of marble inside, with barley-sugar columns in the Korso restaurant and opulent retro decor in all the rooms. ££ HOTEL DAS TRIEST Wiedner Hauptstrasse 12, Vienna (00 43 1 589180; www.dastriest.at ). This is the most stylish modern hotel in the city. Vienna's first boutique hotel was sensitively redesigned in 1996 by Sir Terence Conran. Famous guests include David Bowie and Robbie Williams, but don't let that deter you: with its laid-back élan, it's the last place you'd associate with rock 'n' roll excess. It is colourful (mostly red, yellow and royal blue), comfortable (Frette bedlinen, Molton Brown toiletries) and central. Eat in its chic Italian restaurant. Book well in advance. ££££ HOTEL IMPERIAL Käerntner Ring 16, Vienna (00 43 1 501 100; www.luxurycollection.com/imperial ). Built in 1863 for the Prince of Württemberg, this former palace is possibly Vienna's grandest hotel. Its 139 rooms are on six floors, many decorated in opulent Viennese style. The Imperial restaurant serves traditional Austrian fare; the more informal Café Imperial is famous for afternoon teas. Service is impeccable and discreet. £££££ HOTEL SACHER Philharmoniker strasse 4, Vienna (00 43 1 514 560; www.sacher.com ). Hotel Sacher is the epitome of old Vienna. Opposite the opera house, it's a favourite of opera singers, and other celebrities. John and Yoko held a bed-in here; Graham Greene came looking for a plot, and met The Third Man. If the traditional rooms aren't to your taste (or pocket), you can sample its vintage grandeur for the price of a slice of Sacher-Torte. £££££ LE MERIDIEN VIENNA Opernring 13, Vienna (00 43 1 588 900; www.starwoodhotels.com ). The 294-room Le Méridien Vienna, housed in an early 20th-century apartment block by the Hofburg features light boxes, wall projections and specially commissioned pieces of modern art. The Shambala restaurant, the brainchild of Michelin-starred chef Michel Rostan, serves modern French fusion cuisine. The Shambala bar is a trendy evening hangout, while the Boulevard Café, an art book-filled Viennese coffee house, is the place to go for a kleiner (creamy coffee) and a slice of strudel. ££ PALAIS COBURG Coburgbastei 4, Vienna (00 43 1 518 1800; www.palais-coburg.com ). This neoclassical mansion was built in 1845 by the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha dynasty. A ruin for much of the 20th century, it reopened in 2003 as a five-star hotel. The opulent interior retains many original features, but there are some audacious modern flourishes, such as the stark glass foyer that reveals the foundation of the medieval city walls. ££££

Where to eat out in Vienna

CAFES In a Viennese café, being in rush is the height of bad manners. No one is ever busy here, least of all the staff. The service is spectacularly leisurely, the mood seductively sedate. The coffee is worth the wait. There are dozen different kinds, many smothered in whipped cream or sweetened with liqueurs. Connoisseurs stick to mokka (espresso), melange (cappuccino) or verlängerter (Americano), either schwartzer (black) or brauner (white). CAFE BERG Berggasse 8, Vienna (00 43 1 319 5720; www.cafe-berg.at ). This is a homely hideaway with a gay and metrosexual following. When Café Berg opened in the early 1990s, it was groundbreaking; it has since become more mainstream. The decor is subdued but quite stylish, the menu contemporary and international, with a delicious and budget-friendly two-course lunch. CAFE CENTRAL Corner of Herrengasse/Strauchgasse, Vienna (00 43 1 533 376 324; www.palaisevents.at ). With its chandeliers and vaulted ceilings, Central makes the most of people's idea of what a Viennese café should look like. Before World War I, Leon Trotsky was a regular, playing chess when he wasn't squabbling with Josef Stalin, while an obscure artist called Adolf Hitler hawked his daubs around the tables. CAFE DRECHSLER Gumpendorfer Strasse 11, Vienna (00 43 1 581 2044; www.cafedrechsler.at ). Café Drechsler, designed by Terence Conran, combines the sharp good looks of a hip nightclub with the no-nonsense minimalism of the old café. CAFE MUSEUM Operngasse 7, Vienna (00 43 1 586 5202; www.cafe-museum.at ). The sparse interior, by Adolf Loos, earned it the nickname 'café nihilism' when it opened in 1899. After a recent restoration, the café is as good as ever. The café stages matinee performances once in a while. CAFE PRUCKEL Stunbenring 24, Vienna (00 43 1 512 6115; www.prueckel.at ). Opened in 1903 and run by the same family for most of its history, this cosy café was redecorated in 1955 in muted oatmeal hues. Half a century later, it's still a lovely slice of Fifties kitsch. CAFE SPERL Gumpendorfer Strasse 11, Vienna (00 43 1 586 4158; www.cafesperl.at ). Café Sperl is everything the visitor to Vienna expects: with its marbled tables, parquet floor and embroidered banquettes, it's a quintessential kaffehaus. There are dozens if different coffees on the menu, many of them smothered in whipped cream of sweetened with liqueurs. 'Bitte, kein handy' means no mobile phones, please. LANDTMANN Dr Karl Lueger Ring 4, Vienna (00 43 1 241 00100; www.landtmann.at). The poshest café in town, Landtmann was founded by Franz Landtmann in 1873 and has since been frequented by the rich, famous and interesting. Marlene Dietrich was here, as was Gustav Mahler, Sigmund Freud (of course) and even Sir Paul McCartney. The interior, atmosphere and menu are all traditional. RESTAURANTS FABIOS Tuchlauben 6, Vienna (00 43 1 532 2222; www.fabios.at ). Swish city-centre restaurant that attracts a smart metropolitan crowd and serves Mediterranean cuisine in an innovative modern style. How about an oven-roasted guinea hen with creamy goats cheese, served on braised fennel and orange? For dessert, there's cheese and more cheese. GLACIS BEISL Zugang Breitegasse 4, Museumplatz 1, Vienna (00 43 1 526 5660; www.glacisbeisl.at ). An architectural makeover has turned 1960s inn Glacis Beisl into a modern gem frequented by Vienna's design crowd.

What to see in Vienna

HOFBURG Innerer Burghof, Vienna (00 43 1 533 7570; www.hofburg-wien.at ). This imperial relic has had a makeover. A huge, rambling palace, the Hofburg was inhabited by Austria's Habsburg dynasty until the end of World War I. You can tour the rooms in the Imperial Apartment, the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Silver collection. Open daily. HUNDERTWASSERHAUS Corner of Lowengasse and Kegelgasse, Vienna ( www.hundertwasserhaus.at ). This apartment block is an unusual tourist attraction. When you get there, you soon see what the fuss is about. With its erratic contours and psychedelic colour scheme, the Hundertwasserhaus is, without a doubt, one of the most incredible apartment blocks you'll see. JUDISCHES MUSEUM Dorotheerg 11, Vienna (00 43 1 535 0431; www.jmw.at ) Vienna was home to the first Jewish Museum, founded in 1896 but forcibly closed by the Nazis in 1938.

KUNSTHAUS WIEN Weissgerberstrasse 13, Vienna (00 43 1 581 8640; www.kunsthauswien.com ). This converted furniture factory is home to the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, plus visiting exhibitions.

Not only Egon Schiele, but also Klimt and Oskar Kokoschka, in this cool, contemporary gallery, devoted to the art collection of Rudolf and Elisabeth Leopold. MUSEUMSQUARTIER Museumsplatz 1, Vienna ( www.mqw.at ). This strikingly designed museum complex, one of the largest in the world, is a redevelopment of what were formerly the imperial stables and a winter-riding school in the 1980s.

Based in the MusuemsQuartier is the city's chief permanent collection of modern art, the Museum Moderner Kunst.

SECESSION Friedrichstrasse 12, Vienna (00 43 1 587 5307; www.secession.at ). Initially denounced as 'painted pornography', Klimt's Beethoven Frieze is on permanent display in the basement.

One of the two palaces, the Oberes Belvedere, houses one of the most popular art galleries in Vienna. The Unteres Belvedere is a relatively simple garden palace, built for Prince Eugene's personal use, and now has the Barock-Museum installed in its rooms. This has works by all the leading Austrian painters of the late 17th and 18th centuries. Open daily. THE PRATER Vienna's fin de siècle funfair with the famous Ferris wheel. MOZARTHAUS VIENNA Domgasse 5 (00 43 1 512 1791; www.mozarthaus vienna.a t/en ). A museum dedicated to the composer, in the house where he wrote The Marriage of Figaro.

Things to do in Vienna

BEETHOVEN FRIEZE

Friedrichstrasse 12, Vienna (00 43 1 587 5307; www.secession.at ). Initially denounced as 'painted pornography', Klimt's Beethoven Frieze is on permanent display in the basement of Secession. The building itself was once dismissed as 'an assault on good taste', but is now acknowledged as an equally important work of art.

Staatsoper, Opernring 2, Vienna (00 43 1 514 44 2250; www.wiener-staatsoper.at ). Vienna's musical pedigree is second to none. Josef Haydn, Wolfgang Mozart and Ludwig Beethoven spent much of their time here, as did local-born Franz Schubert. Though Vienna hasn't produced any world-class composers for some time, it does still boast one of Europe's top opera houses, the Staatsoper, served by one of its finest orchestras, the Wiener Philharmoniker.

VIEWS OF THE CITY

STEPHANSDOM

Stephansplatz, Vienna (00 43 1 51552 3526; www.stephanskirche.at ). Climb the 553 steps to the top of Vienna's Gothic cathedral for great views of the city.

The best way to get around Vienna

Vienna's city centre is best explored on foot. But for covering larger distances, you will need the public transport system, one of the most efficient in the world. The trams and buses are punctual and the rapidly expanding U-Bahn (metro) is clean and quick. If you are planning on making more than two journeys a day, you should invest in Vienna Card ( www.wienkarte.at ) which allows unlimited free travel on all trams, buses, and the underground within the city limits for 72 hours, as well as discounts for entry to museums, exhibitions and other sights. Cards are available at hotels, tourist offices, Vienna Transport offices and online.

Schlossgarten & Schloss Schönbrunn

Wiener Pestsäule

Wie lange für Wien?

Wie viele Tage du für Wien einplanen möchtest, solltest du von deinen Interessen und natürlich von deinem Budget abhängig machen. Um ein Gefühl für diese wirklich vielseitige Stadt voller beeindruckender Architektur, Kunst und Geschichte zu bekommen, würde ich dir mindestens zwei Tage für deinen Städtetrip empfehlen. Die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten , wie die Domkirche St. Stephan oder das Schloss Schönbrunn, kannst du in dieser Zeit auf jeden Fall abhaken.

Einen groben Überblick über die Stadt kannst du freilich auch bei einem Tagesausflug bekommen, aber es ist definitiv entspannter, wenn du dir mehr Zeit nehmen und die Highlights auch wirklich detailliert bewundern kannst. Solltest du dennoch nur einen Tagesausflug machen, empfehle ich dir, die Highlights bei einer Hop-on-Hop-off-Sightseeing-Tour abzuklappern. Du kannst zwischen drei verschiedenen Routen wählen, die dich jeweils an andere Sehenswürdigkeiten bringen.

Wenn du vier bis fünf Tage Zeit hast und dazu bereit bist, für deine Wien Reise mehr Geld in die Hand zu nehmen, hast du die Möglichkeit auch meine Highlights abseits der beliebten Attraktionen zu entdecken. Du kannst etwa gemütlich durch den Stadtpark und Volksgarten spazieren, eine Führung über die Ringstraße und sogar eine kleine Wanderung auf den Nussberg inkl. fantastischer Aussicht über Wien machen.

Wien ist einfach eine Stadt, in der so schnell keine Langeweile aufkommt. Du kannst dort deshalb auch ohne Probleme mehr als 5 Tage verbringen. Du solltest dich aber auf jeden Fall darauf einstellen, dass du in deinem Geldbeutel dann mit großer Wahrscheinlichkeit nur noch Staubflusen finden wirst. 😉

Wie du am besten vorgehst

Am Ende weißt du selbst am besten, worauf du in Wien Lust hast und welche Hotspots du unbedingt sehen willst. Aber keine Sorge, ich lasse dich auch hier nicht hängen! Damit du ungefähr abschätzen kannst, wie viele Tage du einplanen solltest, habe ich dir ein paar Vorschläge für 1–5 Tage zusammengestellt.

Tipp: Schreib dir am besten erst mal eine Liste mit den Orten, die du auf keinen Fall verpassen möchtest, und vergleiche diese dann mit meinen Programmvorschlägen. Wenn du eins gefunden hast, bei dem all deine Must-Sees dabei sind, hast du die perfekte Länge für deinen Wien Städtetrip gefunden.

Unter jedem Programm verlinken wir dir unseren passenden Blogartikel mit Tagesplänen, Kostenübersicht und meinen ganz persönlichen Tipps. Ich würde dir unbedingt empfehlen, im entsprechenden Artikel mal reinzuschauen, damit du auch wirklich nichts Wichtiges vergisst!

„Wie viele Tage brauche ich, um Wien zu besuchen?“

Ich würde behaupten, dass 3–4 Tage für einen Städtetrip in Wien optimal sind, wenn du die schönsten Sehenswürdigkeiten der Stadt sehen magst, ohne dich großartig hetzen zu müssen. Das heißt aber natürlich nicht, dass ein kürzerer oder längerer Städtetrip nicht auch absolut genial werden kann!

Zusammengefasst hier nochmal meine Empfehlungen:

👉 1 Tag in Wien: Buch dir ein 24h Hop-On-Hop-Off Busticket* und schau dir 1–2 Sehenswürdigkeiten deiner Wahl von innen an

👉 2 Tage in Wien: Sportlicher Zeitplan, um die wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten, wie das Schloss Schönbrunn oder die Hofburg auch von innen sehen zu können.

👉 3 Tage in Wien: Ein gut machbarer Zeitplan, der die beliebtesten Highlights abdeckt.

👉 4 Tage in Wien: Dieses Programm beinhaltet mit Sicherheit die besten Sehenswürdigkeiten und es bleibt genug Zeit für gemütliche Kaffeepausen und ausgiebige Spaziergänge durch Wiens kunterbunte Parkanlagen.

👉 5 Tage in Wien: Du kannst dir alles in Ruhe ansehen und hast zusätzlich noch genügend Zeit, um am letzten Tag eine kleine Wanderung mit einem richtig coolen Aussichtspunkt als Belohnung zu machen.
