Here are my recommendations for a short stay in Vienna and not miss the essentials!

Vienna, a city renowned for its stunning Baroque architecture, rich imperial history, and as the home of Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven, and many other great composers, is often called the "City of Music." Having visited Vienna twice, once in summer and once in autumn, and experiencing two distinct travel styles, I believe I can provide useful information for travelers. During my summer trip, I focused on the "sightseeing and museums" type of travel. In contrast, my autumn trip was more relaxed, with day trips to Salzburg and Hallstatt, while ensuring that the person accompanying me got to experience some must-sees based on their personal preferences. She is a nature lover and not particularly interested in historical museums. The guide includes some do's and don'ts, along with a list of must-visit places. In addition, this guide provides practical tips on transportation, ticketing, and the best times to visit major attractions. I'll also include some of my favorite spots to eat, from cozy cafés to traditional Viennese restaurants, budget friendly tips and days needed to explore this beautiful city! I discuss what you can expect to see and experience at each site, based on my own personal experience, while striving to remain objective. This way, you, as the reader, can choose the places that best suit your preferences and add them to your itinerary. I won’t just write about the history of each place—after all, that's likely the reason you're visiting in the first place, right? Feel free to share your own experiences or ask any questions. I'd love to help make your trip to Vienna as memorable as mine! This guide will continue to be updated every time I visit Vienna and gain new experiences to share with you! Enjoy!

Welcome to Vienna, Austria's waltzing capital, is a city steeped in imperial grandeur and artistic heritage.

Whether you're a history buff, an art aficionado, or simply a lover of fine food and drink, Vienna promises an unforgettable city break.
