What to see in Vienna
Must-sees
Vienna is the city of the Habsburgs. The Ring, the grand boulevard around the centre, brings together the Opera, Parliament, the City Hall and the Art History and Natural History museums. Inside it are St Stephen’s Cathedral and the Hofburg Palace, with Sisi’s apartments and the Spanish Riding School.
Outside the centre are Schönbrunn Palace and its gardens, the Belvedere with Klimt’s The Kiss, the Prater Ferris wheel and the Hundertwasser House. Between visits, a slice of Sachertorte in a Viennese coffee house.
Free tours and guided visits
Vienna has free walking tours of the historic centre and guided visits to Schönbrunn, the Hofburg and the Opera. Day trips to the Wachau valley, Salzburg and Bratislava leave from the city.
