Things to do

Vienna grew around the Hofburg and St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the Ringstrasse separates the inner city from everything beyond it. The centre is walkable, Schönbrunn and Belvedere each need their own half-day, and trams plus the U-Bahn link the rest without fuss.

Hofburg and St. Stephen's

Start at St. Stephen's Cathedral, cross the Graben to the Hofburg and look into the imperial apartments or the Treasury. The lanes are narrow and busy, but everything stands close together, so allow a couple of hours for the palace.

Schönbrunn

Schönbrunn lies west of the centre and the U-Bahn brings you there directly. Leave time for the park and the climb to the Gloriette, which frames the whole city, and the gardens alone fill half a day.

Naschmarkt

Naschmarkt shows what Viennese cooking draws on: cheese, olives, spices and snacks sold from stalls. MuseumsQuartier is a short walk away, with the Leopold Museum and Kunsthalle, a good place to spend a wet afternoon.

Where to stay

Innere Stadt

The Innere Stadt keeps the main sights within walking distance: cathedral, palaces, coffee houses and shops. Rooms are expensive and the streets calm down in the evening, while Prater and Schönbrunn require a tram or train ride.

Leopoldstadt

Leopoldstadt, across the Danube Canal, is quieter and cheaper than the centre, and Stephansplatz is still a walk away. Families settle here, the Prater is next door, and Karmelitermarkt supplies the neighbourhood with produce.

Neubau

Neubau around Spittelberg draws people for coffee houses, small shops and evenings out. The lanes are narrow and noisy at night, yet the museums and the Ringstrasse are ten minutes on foot.

Getting to and around Vienna

Trains S7 and the City Airport Train run from Schwechat airport to Wien Mitte in roughly twenty minutes. The U-Bahn is the quickest way across town, with five lines crossing the centre and the outer districts. Trams run along the Ringstrasse, and the inner city is best covered on foot.

Three days in Vienna

The inner city

Climb St. Stephen's tower in the morning, walk along the Graben to the Hofburg and visit the Treasury. Spend the afternoon over coffee and newspapers, then end the day beside the Opera.

Schönbrunn and the market

Reach Schönbrunn at opening time, walk the park and climb to the Gloriette for the view across the city. Back in the centre, have dinner at Naschmarkt or in the side streets nearby.

Belvedere and Prater

Begin at the Belvedere with the Klimt paintings, then walk to MuseumsQuartier for coffee in the courtyard. In the evening ride out to the Prater and take a turn on the Ferris wheel.
