The Hofburg Imperial Palace, located in the heart of Vienna, is a grand complex that served as the residence and seat of power for the Habsburgs. This historic site, dating back to the 13th century, stands as a testament to the imperial history of the Danube monarchy. Today, it houses various institutions including the Austrian Federal President's office, museums such as the Sisi Museum and Court Silver Collection, and serves as an international conference center.
Impressive imperial palace complex in the heart of Vienna. Rich history, grand architecture, and well-curated museums make it a must-visit. Allow enough time to explore the Sisi Museum and the Imperial Apartments.
Charles Z — Google review
This is an enormous Palace complex. It houses several museums including the Sisi and Albertina, also the Spanish riding school arena and a church. You need to do some homework if you are interested in some of the above. Otherwise strolling around and taking in all the different centuries of architecture is very pleasing.
Marie G — Google review
Hofburg Palace, Vienna In the centre of Vienna stands this majestic palace complex which houses two museums including the famous Sisi museum dedicated to Empress Elisabeth. Built in the 13th century it was the winter residence as well as the seat of the government of the imperial family. The architecture is great and a big tourist attraction. In the front are some ruins and the area is full of tourists all through the day. Horse carts with well attired charioteers are there for the tourists to enjoy royal carriages. Being in the historic old town the place is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Raj S — Google review
Beautiful architecture and very well maintained palace. Nearly 600 years old approx. Has big ground in front with a statue in front. You may also experience vintage car tour or horse cart ride.

Beautiful complex! The gardens are open to the public and certain buildings allow visitors! We only visited the State Hall which was gorgeous and gave a brief, modern history of Austria!
Olivia H — Google review
We didn’t have enough time to go inside Hofburg Palace, but even from the outside, it’s incredibly grand and impressive. The architecture is stunning. The palace grounds are vast, with beautiful courtyards and statues. It’s a lovely area to walk around, and there’s so much to take in, even without entering the museums.
Highway V — Google review
Rich in history and artifacts. I went early morning and there wasn't a lot of people. Definitely recommend visiting the museum. All and all, it's a must see if you are planning a trip to vienna.

Schönbrunn Palace is an 18th-century summer residence that offers tours of its opulent rococo ceremonial rooms and lavish gardens with a maze. The palace boasts beautiful Baroque and Neo-Classical architecture, reflecting Vienna's rich history as the town of Habsburgs and Maria Theresa. It is Vienna's most visited attraction, featuring 45 luxurious state rooms, ceremonial halls, and private apartments once inhabited by Empress Elisabeth and Emperor Franz Joseph.
Gorgeous place to visit- bring a coat if going in the winter or fall as it can get chilly. Recommend buying tickets ahead of time and just walk to the front of the palace to enter- audio guides can be procured upon entry. If you have kids- there is also a small zoo, and a playground in the garden maze area.
Brittany F — Google review
We had a wonderful day exploring Schönbrunn Palace and its beautiful gardens! The place is enormous, so expect to spend almost the entire day walking around, discovering its stunning architecture, elegant interiors, and rich history. There are plenty of benches outside where you can rest, have a picnic, or simply people-watch. The gardens are incredibly lovely and very well-maintained, and the entire area is so organized that you’ll enjoy exploring no matter which part you visit. There’s also a children’s museum, zoo, mazes, cafés, restaurants, and more! We especially enjoyed the short hike up to the Gloriette for a breathtaking view of the palace grounds. A definite must-see when in Vienna!
BA — Google review
It was my first visit to Schönbrunn Palace in 47 years, and its magnificent scenery was as wonderful as ever as a symbol of the Habsburg dynasty. The lavish decorations inside the palace and the splendor of the gardens are as magnificent as ever, demonstrating the majesty of a World Heritage Site that is worth revisiting. Walking around the vast gardens, I was reminded of its grandeur and splendor. The splendid decorations and paintings inside the palace are also worth seeing.
Taka N — Google review
You need to explore all the places so a classic plus ticket is recommended for 75 euros, this will cover all the gardens, zoo, terrace, and the palace. This will be a long trip and you need to rest between them so I'd recommend to start your trip at 10 a.m. to finish it at 5 p.m. I strongly recommend to buy your tickets online becuase there was a very long line. I will leave you with the images to rate the experience 😊
Younus J — Google review
Must visit experience with good audio guide cost included in the ticket. The beautiful gardens beside the palace add to the charm of it and the grandeur of the palace is amazing. We had a great time at the Christmas market setup right outside the palace in early November.
Sunny K — Google review
This spot is heaven on earth. I was excited to catch the early Christmas market in the palace gardens, so many great food stalls and adorable Christmas goodies shops! The evening ambiance with all the lights was simply stunning. A truly enchanting and memorable experience.
Harsha J — Google review
We attended the Christmas market and it was just breathtaking. Countless lights, 95 lovingly decorated stalls, and a wide variety of traditional handicrafts, regional cuisine, and special experiences for the whole family create a unique festive atmosphere during the Christmas season. We loved the food and mulled wine and enjoyed watching the band play!
Alex C — Google review
The Palace is absolutely stunning! The architecture is magnificent, and the gardens surrounding the palace are beautifully designed and very spacious. Walking through the grounds, you can enjoy fountains, sculptures, and perfectly maintained flower beds. The area around the palace is full of charm and offers great spots for photos. Visiting Schönbrunn Palace is a truly unforgettable experience and a must-see when in Vienna.

St. Stephen's Cathedral is a medieval Roman Catholic place of worship in Vienna, Austria. It features an ornate spire, catacombs, and a treasury museum. Visitors can explore the cathedral to admire world-renowned works of art and church utensils for a fee. The catacombs house the remains of Austrian emperors and are accessible only to guided tour groups for an additional cost.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We visited St. Stephen’s Cathedral over the weekend, and it was such a beautiful experience. The architecture is stunning — Austria really knows how to blend modern and classic styles. You can feel the history, yet everything around feels fresh and vibrant. The cathedral is surrounded by modern buildings and high-end shops, creating a unique mix of culture and lifestyle. One thing I really appreciated is that entry to the cathedral is free, which is rare in Europe. You only pay if you want to go up to the tower for the panoramic city view — and the price is quite reasonable. Children under 10 enter for free, and kids under 18 get a 50% discount. Overall, everything in Austria feels very clean, safe, and well-organized. We really enjoyed our time here and definitely recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral if you’re in the city center.
Theavy — Google review
St. Stephen’s Cathedral rises like a medieval stone heartbeat in the very center of Vienna. Its Gothic spire, ribbed vaults, and stained-glass windows aren’t just architectural flourishes; they are the city’s compass and heartbeat. Every street in Vienna seems to spiral outward from here, as if the entire city were built around prayer. Inside, the air feels thick with centuries of pious devotion. The flicker of candles against cold stone, the scent of wax and incense, the hush of travelers and locals alike; it all combines into a kind of living liturgy. The cathedral isn’t just a monument to faith; it’s a place where belief, art, and history intertwine. Every carving and arch seems to whisper the same message: beauty is one of the purest ways to praise God. On Saturday evenings, when the bells call the faithful for the 7:00 PM English Mass, a golden light fills the nave as the sun sets behind the stained glass. Tourists pause, locals kneel, and the choir’s echo mingles with the organ’s thunder. It’s a deeply human moment, both intimate and grand — a reminder that Vienna’s soul is not found only in its cafés and concert halls, but here, in this cathedral that has watched over the city for nearly 900 years. A must-visit not just to see, but to feel. St. Stephen’s doesn’t merely stand at the center of Vienna. It is Vienna’s heart.❤️ Christmas celebration in full swing outside of the cathedral.
Basil C — Google review
I visited St. Stephen's Cathedral from the outside, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The architecture of the cathedral is impressive, and the streets and squares nearby are full of charm, cafes, and shops. It’s a perfect spot for sightseeing and taking photos. I really enjoyed walking around and soaking in the lively atmosphere of the area .
Saeed B — Google review
This cathedral is absolutely stunning. The architecture, both inside and out, is breathtaking. Right beside it, an early Christmas market was happening with adorable stalls. The interior is a true work of art. At night, it transformed into what looked like a massive haunted castle, haha!
Harsha J — Google review
Very nice cathedral, but you can’t walk inside it. Also be careful if you plant to visit light show. , we wanted to visit it in Votive church, but thought it’s the same church and understood the mistake too late.
Татьяна А — Google review
The cathedral is a magnificent piece of architecture and a sight to behold. My strong personal critique, however, is the commercialization of the space. Requiring payment for entry into the main sections creates a barrier that I feel is fundamentally opposed to Christian teachings. A church should be a place where anyone, regardless of their financial means, can enter to pray and connect with God.
Deepu J — Google review
I have to say that I was really excited to visit St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I had seen it in pictures, on Instagram, everywhere, and seeing it in person was such a beautiful, emotional moment. The cathedral is stunning from the inside out. We bought our tickets the same day; you cannot buy tickets online, so you need to go directly to the ticket area. If you want to go to the top of the cathedral, there are two options: • South Tower – You must climb around 300 steps. It’s very high and can be exhausting. • North Tower – This is the one we chose. It actually has a better view, including a 360° view, and you can take the elevator, which is definitely nicer. We also visited the dungeons, and that was fascinating. You see cadavers that have been there since the 1500s (or around that time). They give you a guided tour that explains how people were buried and the history of the underground cemetery. It’s very interesting, I won’t spoil too much, but I definitely recommend it. We didn’t do the full church tour because when we arrived, they were having Mass, and we didn’t want to wait. Plus, after going up the tower in the cold, we were already a bit tired. So just be prepared, going to the top can be draining, especially if you’re an introvert. We’re both introverts, and we were completely drained afterwards. But honestly, the cathedral itself is breathtaking. It’s hard to believe something so massive and detailed was built so long ago. I really can’t even explain how incredible it is, you just have to see it for yourself. One thing I liked is that everything is done on the same day, and you don’t have to worry about online bookings. You can explore one part of the cathedral and come back another day to do the rest, if you want. We didn’t, but it’s an option. We bought two tickets: • one for the underground cemetery tour • one for the North Tower (highly recommend this one!) I also recommend doing the official church tour because it gives you the full history, when it was built, who built it, and all the important details. I kind of regret not doing that. Overall, I highly recommend visiting St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I don’t have many pictures because I really wanted to take everything in with my own eyes and enjoy the moment. If you go, do the same,or have someone else take photos for you,because the experience goes by too fast. And you don’t want to miss it by staring at your phone.
Miriam I — Google review
St. Stephen’s Cathedral is a stunning Gothic masterpiece and a must-see in Vienna. I booked my ticket through GetYourGuide, which was convenient and easy. You need to claim the actual ticket at the Dom Museum Wien next to the cathedral before entry, so it’s best to go a few minutes early. The cathedral’s interior, towers, and views are breathtaking — rich in history and atmosphere. Worth the visit!

The Austrian Parliament Building, located along the Ringstrasse, is a grand neoclassical structure that reflects Austria's history of secular liberal politics. The building offers guided tours through its opulent chambers and features a visitor center for visitors to learn about its significance. Outside the building, statues such as Pallas Athena and classical historians symbolize the importance of knowledge in politics. Visitors can also enjoy a leisurely walk in the beautiful Volksgarten before exploring this iconic landmark.
The whole building itself represents obligation, dedication and well kept heritage. Exterior and Interior has great Neoclassical resemblance, that on being built by authentic European architects. True masters of respectful representation. The Pallas Athena fountain is a grand masterpiece in front of the building and it locks your gaze while you walk or drive past it. Highly recommended for architecture lovers and history enthusiasts

We took part in the free guided tour and it was an excellent experience. The building is stunning, with impressive architecture and beautifully restored interiors. Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging and provided fascinating insights into Austrian history, politics and the workings of the parliament. The tour was well-organized, easy to follow and a great way to learn more about the country’s democratic processes. Highly recommended for both locals and visitors!

Vaishnavi A — Google review
The Austrian Parliament Building in Vienna stands as one of the city’s grandest architectural achievements — a majestic symbol of democracy framed in neoclassical elegance. Designed by Theophil Hansen in the late 19th century, it draws inspiration from ancient Greece, the birthplace of democracy, making its architectural language both symbolic and timeless. Fronting the grand colonnade is the Pallas Athena Fountain, a masterpiece of sculptural storytelling. The central figure, the Greek goddess Athena, towers proudly with her gilded helmet, spear, and Nike (the goddess of victory) in her hand — a tribute to wisdom, justice, and the triumph of reason. Below her, four seated figures represent the major rivers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire — the Danube, Inn, Elbe, and Vltava — symbolising unity and flow beneath divine wisdom. The Parliament itself, with its marble steps, towering Corinthian columns, and sculpted pediments, feels like a temple to civic virtue. Every detail, from the statues of philosophers to the ornate reliefs above, reflects ideals of law, justice, and governance. Bathed in sunlight, with the Austrian flag waving proudly above, the building radiates both dignity and grandeur — a living reminder that architecture can speak not just of power, but of the higher ideals that guide a nation.

Belvedere Palace is a stunning example of Baroque architecture located in Vienna's Landstrasse district. It consists of two grand palaces separated by a beautiful French-style garden. Originally built as a summer residence for Prince Eugene of Savoy in the 18th century, it now houses an impressive art collection spanning from the Middle Ages to contemporary works, including a notable collection of Klimt paintings.
Wow! Loved this extraordinary attraction and gardens. The architecture is amazing. My son and I really enjoyed the walk through and landscapes. The stone carvings / statues are beautifully placed. We did not visit inside the attraction as we will go another day.

The Belvedere is a wonderful choice for a stroll and for experiencing beauty. The park is very pleasant and inspires a positive outlook, and the museum itself is incredibly aesthetically pleasing. You can see wonderful paintings not only by Klimt but also by other artists, as well as sculptures. There are absolutely unique works of art, portraits, and still lifes that are every bit as good as the famous canvases. The Klimt hall is wonderful; I really enjoyed his landscapes! A wonderful place!

A stunning historic complex with beautiful baroque architecture and meticulously maintained gardens. The Upper and Lower Palaces are impressive, and the art collections inside, including works by Klimt, are incredible. Walking through the gardens and enjoying the view of Vienna from the palace is a truly memorable experience. Highly recommended for history, art, and photography lovers .

Amazing! The paintings and organisation of the museum is impressive, the collection of Gustav klimit is iconic. If you’re there to discover the palace as a historical place i don’t recommend since there is no rooms displayed. If you’re an art fanatic i recommend 3 hours.

Visiting Belvedere Palace in Vienna is a feast for the eyes, particularly if you appreciate grand architecture and historic structures. The palace itself is stunning, with intricate interiors and elegant layouts that make wandering through its halls a visual delight. Even with parts of the building under restoration, the charm and grandeur of the palace remain impressive. The exhibition, however, is less remarkable. While it has its moments, it doesn’t quite match the awe-inspiring atmosphere created by the palace and its architecture. Art lovers may enjoy it, but for those primarily seeking a “wow” factor, it may feel underwhelming. A practical note: the queues can be long, especially on weekends. Even if you buy tickets online, you may have to wait for a later slot; when we arrived, our online tickets only allowed entry three hours later. Planning ahead and booking well in advance is highly recommended. The gardens are fantastic and free to explore. Locals often jog, run, or just relax there, and it's lovely to see artists drawing or people chilling. Overall, the views and grounds make it worth avisit! Overall, Belvedere Palace is worth visiting for its architecture and historical appeal, but don’t set your expectations too high for the exhibitions.
Kelvin T — Google review
I visited the Belvedere to experience the art of Gustav Klimt and to take in the stunning architecture and perfectly maintained gardens. The museum spans three floors, each offering something remarkable, from the magnificent Marble Hall, where the Austrian State Treaty was signed, to galleries filled with masterpieces from different eras. The highlight, of course, is Klimt’s The Kiss and Judith, along with several of his early works that show his artistic evolution. The atmosphere is both grand and intimate, you feel the history, the art, and the spirit of Vienna all in one place. Book your tickets in advance and stick to your time slot, as it can get busy. Give yourself time to explore the grounds, they’re as inspiring as the collection inside. A must-visit in Vienna. Highly recommended.
Sabbi A — Google review
I just visited the spot on weekend Sunday where the place is crowded with people (as expected). I didn't enter the upper and lower palace, but only enjoy the view at the garden for free. I can see they spend a lot of effort in maintaining the garden, which is photogenic and elegant. People can literally just sit there chill and relax for whole day, lovely place.

It boasts stunning Baroque and Neo-Classical architecture, as well as elegant 19th-century cafes frequented by the likes of Sigmund Freud. Despite its traditional allure, Vienna also thrives as a hub for contemporary art.
We loved this. The building is spectacular to enter from the street and the Beethoven Frieze is wonderful to view while wearing headphones listening to his Ninth Symphony, which Klimt was illustrating. There were three other installations while we were there, including Being John Smith by John Smith, a 27 minute-long video 'artwork' that we found mesmirising (being English speakers and tuned into his sense of humour and irony!)

Summary. Need 20-min Max 1hour. Need coins for coin locker. Bring earbuds for MUSIC! Free entry for gift shop. Toilet in exhibition zone. Earbuds..This will prepare you to enjoy the art here and elevate the experience. Even though you forgot one, there are few headphones so don’t be afraid if you don’t have one. Bring 1 or 2 euro coins since backpacks are banned so need to use locker. The Klimt place was really cold even in late July cuz of AC. I think the place is overpriced unless if you really love Klimt and Art. But still the art was amazing since I was able to feel the color without the picture frame, which can cause color distortion. I took a star off cuz the place is small considering the price. Go to somewhere bigger and more famous if it is your first time visiting Vienna. Definitely not the first place to come if your travel time is short.

The building with a golden cabbage is amazing. It's in must visit list of all art lovers. The work of Gustav Klimt in the basement is upper than it was possible to imagine, looking the pictures. Accompanied by the music of Beethoven, it creates an unforgettable effect.

Vienna Secession: A Bridge to the Bauhaus My tour has taken me to the very heart of the Modernist revolution, and my visit to the Secession Museum in Vienna was a revelation for my book on Walter Gropius and Alma Mahler. The building itself is a powerful statement, an elegant cube topped with a golden dome of swirling laurel leaves, a striking symbol of its mission: "To every age its art, to every art its freedom." This maxim immediately resonated, revealing a clear historical and philosophical connection to the Bauhaus that would emerge just a couple of decades later. The Secession movement, founded by artists like Gustav Klimt, Koloman Moser, and Josef Hoffmann, was a radical break from the stifling academic and historicist styles of the 19th century. Their call for a "total work of art" and their emphasis on integrating art into everyday life directly foreshadowed the Bauhaus manifesto. Walking through the museum, particularly viewing Klimt’s monumental Beethoven Frieze, I could feel the artistic rebellion and the bold idealism that would later fuel Gropius's vision. They were, in essence, the trailblazers who cleared the path for the Bauhaus, defending the right to create a new visual language. This visit was not just about seeing beautiful art; it was about understanding a foundational moment that deeply influenced Gropius's own thinking before he even founded the school in Weimar. It cemented for me how the spirit of the Secession—its rejection of historical imitation, its belief in the unity of art, and its quest for social relevance—was a critical stepping stone on the journey from fin de siècle Vienna to the revolutionary halls of the Bauhaus. This place is not just a museum; it's a profound piece of the puzzle, a living testament to the roots of the Modernist ideal that my book seeks to explore.

A compact yet stunning Art Nouveau landmark, famous for its golden laurel-leaf dome and role as the center of the avant-garde Secession movement. Built in 1897 by progressive artists including Gustav Klimt, it houses his breathtaking Beethoven Frieze in a small but beautiful murals room, alongside rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. A must-visit.
Bruno M — Google review
Very disappointed with this exhibition. For 12 euros, there was only one small room dedicated to Klimt’s artwork, featuring just three wall paintings. The rest of the exhibit was mostly contemporary art, which wasn’t what I was expecting as Secession. If you’re hoping to see a significant collection of Klimt’s work, you might want to look elsewhere or make sure if it’s okay for 12euro.

The secession building and its history is interesting. If you come for Gustav Klimt's art work go to the Belvedere. I was dissapointed by the modern art BS, table with some coke bottles, rubbish with a nametag but that's my view, i love art but the only interesting part is the history of the building and some original Klimt works.

The Vienna State Opera House, also known as Wiener Staatsoper, is a world-renowned opera house that has been hosting major productions and guided tours. It is one of the largest and most magnificent theaters globally, with a rich history dating back to 1625. The current grand Opera House was constructed in 1869 and features a French Early Renaissance style.
if you're a fan of music, or even just beautiful buildings, the tour of the vienna state opera is a must-do. i wasn't sure what to expect, but it was really fascinating. ​it's a guided tour, so you go with a group and a guide tells you all the stories. they take you through the grand staircases and these incredibly ornate rooms like the tea salon and the marble hall. everything is so elegant and detailed, and it's wild to think that parts of the building had to be rebuilt after being bombed in world war ii. you see the original parts and the restored parts side by side, and it's a cool mix of history. ​the highlight for me was seeing the auditorium and the stage from different angles. you get to stand in the royal box and look out, and it makes you feel like you're royalty for a second. ​the tour is about 40 minutes long, and you get so many interesting facts and stories. they tell you about the famous composers and conductors who worked there. it's a really great way to appreciate the opera house even if you don't have time to see a full performance. it's a good idea to check the schedule online and book your tour in advance because they're really popular

It was our first opera. It was amazing. The story was interesting and very easy to follow the subtitles on the little screen in front of each seat. The cast and Orchestra were extremely talented. The opera house is magnificently beautiful. It's well worth a visit.

First time in this quintessential building, went to see Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutte on a Thursday night. The building design is such that, even high up on “oxygen level”, one has a great view of the stage and singers. However, the design also takes the breath away from those afraid of heights:) Individual tablets at the seats give you subtitles. They do make you check in your coats and the bar lines at intermission can get very long, so plan accordingly. Also, prices are high, not unexpectedly. Unique building and design though, quality performances, not to be missed.

The Vienna State Opera House is one of the most stunning buildings I have ever seen. I only had the chance to admire it from the outside, but its beauty is absolutely breathtaking. The grand façade, elegant arches, and detailed sculptures reflect Vienna’s rich artistic and cultural heritage. Even without going inside, you can feel the history and importance of this place, where some of the world’s greatest operas have been performed. The building shines beautifully, especially at night when it’s illuminated, creating a magical atmosphere. I hope to return one day to experience a performance inside this magnificent opera house.

Very disappointing experience at the Vienna Opera House First of all, I was scammed by ticket sellers outside the building. They were wearing official-looking vests with lanyards, so I thought they were staff. I was in a rush and bought a ticket from them for €50, only to find out later that the actual price of my corner seat was only €15. The seat had a terrible view and I could barely see anything. But the performance was still good. The experience inside was just as bad. During the second intermission, I missed the re-entry and was denied entry until the session ended, which meant I had to stand outside for 1.5 hours. There were no announcements or signs in English to inform foreigners that the bell ringing meant “5 minutes until doors close.” About eight of us were left stuck outside even though we had paid for our tickets. When I spoke to the management, they casually mentioned that this was not the first time it happened but offered no solution. Their excuse was that “the bell is an old tradition and everyone should know.” Sorry, but I’m a foreigner, and it’s 2025 — clear communication should be basic hospitality. As for the scammers outside, the management said that the area outside isn’t their property, so they’re “not responsible,” even though these sellers are using “Opera House” tickets to overcharge tourists. This felt extremely unprofessional. Overall, this was a very disappointing and frustrating experience. I expected much better from such a famous cultural institution.

If you’re in Vienna, you definitely have to visit the State Opera House! I’ve been to opera houses in the U.S., but most of them are relatively new compared to this one. The level of detail here is incredible – every corner feels like a work of art, from the ornate ceilings to the grand staircases. The performance was equally stunning. The orchestra and opera singers were on another level – so powerful and moving that even though I’m not usually into classical music, I loved every minute of it. This was truly an unforgettable experience and one of those bucket-list items you absolutely have to check off when visiting Vienna.

An incredible experience!!! Gorgeous interior and screens to translate the opera for you in a handful of languages. We did get a bit hot, but we were in the top level! If you aren’t looking to watch the whole opera (we did), I would recommend gambling for the standing room seats! Way cheaper and you can leave at intermission.

Hundertwasser House, also known as Hundertwasserhaus, is a unique and vibrant apartment block located in Vienna. Designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the building features a colorful exterior with plants adorning balconies and even a forested roof. Completed in 1985, it stands out as an unconventional residential structure that has become one of the most photographed buildings in Vienna.
Interesting place. Amazing architecture. I liked the place a lot - colourful walls and parts of building, trees inside the house growing out. So cool. Also I recommend to visit museum 300m from that building.

Hundertwasser House in Vienna is a colorful, irregular building designed by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser. It rejects straight lines and embraces nature, with uneven floors, vibrant tiles, and trees growing from balconies. The house symbolizes harmony between humans, art, and the environment, making it one of Austria’s most unique landmarks. But I think this kind of building is rarely seen in Austria, so it is famous.

It's a huge theatre, probably the main theater in Vienna, the interior looks great, I went for Die Verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum. It was ok, with interesting staging and good actors, but I wasn't impressed. Also, it didn't feel cosy, perhaps because the theatre is quite large and poshy

Just opposite City Hall, you can find the Imperial Court Theatre (Burgtheater). The theatre opened its doors in 1741 and has since been a focal point in Austrian culture. To this day it is the most important German-language theatre and is known to locals simply as “die Burg”. No less than three of Mozart’s operas premiered here.

Horse riding school
The Spanish Riding School, also known as the Spanische Hofreitschule, is a historic institution dating back to 1735. It was established by Emperor Maximilian II and is renowned for training white Lipizzaner stallions. Located in the Baroque Winter Riding School within the grounds of Vienna's Hofburg Palace, it offers regular tours and shows that showcase impressive equestrian skills.
We did the tour which was informative. You do get to see the school and horses, however we arrived on a Monday, which is the horses day off to relax. We purchased the tickets ahead of time since the tours do get booked full. The performances are done on the weekend. The tour guide spoke good English and was interesting.

The History alone, related to this School, which continues 100’s of years later, is astonishing. Is it pricey. Yup. But, worth every penny. Amazing display of Horsemanship. And of course Rider talent was at a level never seen by me before. A bit confusing getting to the right section of stairways leading to the show area, but there is help around to assist. Next to the ZOO this was my favorite Animal related thing to do in Vienna.

Real art of riding- I was impressed and at the same time wondered how much the horses love it and if they do get enough playtime as well. Absolutely beautiful animals and skilled riders. The setting is stunning and you should do it at least once in a lifetime!!! We only had standing seats as we booked too late which was very uncomfortable and not the best view.
Anja M — Google review
There are a number of options to visit. We selected the ticket at €26 (standing) each to see a 45 minute show which began at 11am. Clearly there is emphasis to sell many tickets as there were so many people it was hard to move causing a concern if a fire started. Staff could learn some manners by the way they talk to visitors. The 45 minute show itself was in 3 parts and really the 3rd part was the best which I would call a show and not rehearsals dressed up to look like a show. Oh yes, apparently you are not allowed (abruptly told to not do so) to take video or photographs so here is what I managed to take! Viewing the stables does not cost anything. Clearly counting on the fame of the riding school for people to book without any care for them.
Daren K — Google review
I arrived at the ticket window an hour before the show and there were still 4 categories of seats available, even though on-line check said standing room only was all that was left. I bought a ticket on the ground floor. I thought it was the best place to sit! I could see all the horses' leg movements unlike people on the upper floors who had to peer down, this includes the standing room only people. No photos allowed during the performance. These pictures are from ground floor and first floor.
K W — Google review
A must visit either to see the stables on a tour or see the performance. Be aware, If you want to see the performance book well in advance because tickets sell out very quickly. I brought my tickets direct from Spanish Riding School and for my seat on the side it was £90 ( Sept 2025 prices). Yes it's cheaper to stand and you get not a bad view but you get a much better view sitting down. Also no rucksacks are allowed inside the area, But i found left luggage lockers at Vienna Central Station for my small rucksack for 2 euros ( Sept 2025 prices) It only goes on for approx 1 hrs and 10 mins but so enjoyable in a beautiful area. The riders were brilliant in their handling of the horses and the classical music complented the moves the riders made. The lippinaners are so strong and you even see some young lippinaners. The whole experience is just a lovely, feel good, watch.

The venue is beautiful, but the training session was rather dull. Unless you are knowledgable in horse riding it is hard to appreciate the skill. The commentary was interesting and at a good pace. Our seats were also good and not obstructed by pillars. Would only recommend going if you really want to, otherwise skip it.

Konzerte Karlskirche Orchester 1756 is a must-visit musical experience in Vienna. The baroque orchestra, Orchester 1756, performs using original baroque instruments and focuses on pieces like Mozart's Requiem and Vivaldi's Four Seasons. The concerts take place in the stunning St. Charles Borromeo church, known as Karlskirche, where the richly decorated dome provides a breathtaking backdrop for the performances.
I had the great pleasure, along with my fiancee, of attending your performance on Easter night, Sunday the 20th, in Vienna's Karlskirche. It impressed us so much that we can say that it was the best performance of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It was very moving and still reverberates in our hearts. It was very, very special.

What could be better on a cold Autumn evening in beautiful Vienna than to sit in a marbled church, surrounded by history and listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons? And Orchestra 1756 really do justice to the piece, playing with passion and feeling. Time flies past with the music and the event ends with thunderous applause. The music fills the space and takes you back in time to a younger Vienna, imagining carriages, and Emperor's, bankers and their wives. If you enjoy classical music played well then don't miss out on a chance to see this Orchestra!

We attended a concert here and, while the seats weren’t the most comfortable, the musicians were outstanding. Their performance truly transported us through time and space, perfectly matched to the historic and atmospheric setting. A memorable experience in a breathtaking venue.

St. Peter’s Church is one of those places that leaves you speechless the moment you step inside. Tucked away just off the bustling Graben, it might be easy to miss if you’re not looking for it—but it’s absolutely worth seeking out. The baroque architecture is stunning. Every inch of the interior is intricately detailed—gilded sculptures, vivid frescoes, and an altar that practically glows in the natural light filtering through the dome. It’s not a large church, but the sheer amount of craftsmanship packed into the space is astonishing. Even during busy hours, the atmosphere remains peaceful and reverent. If you’re lucky, you might catch an organ recital or a classical concert in the evening—an experience that feels nothing short of transcendent in such a beautiful setting. Unlike some other major churches, St. Peter’s is free to enter, though donations are welcome and deserved. It’s an ideal spot to take a quiet break from sightseeing, light a candle, or simply soak in the incredible artistry and serenity. Whether you’re religious or not, this church is a must-see in Vienna. It’s a masterpiece of design and a perfect reminder of the city’s rich cultural and spiritual history.

Very imposing and nice church to visit. Entry is fee though you are encouraged to make a donation. They do have people playing the church organ from time to time. During those times, the sanctuary area might be closed until after the performance. The interior of the church looks very beautiful. Worth a visit.

Very cute church that seems like it was tucked in the middle of all the building. The church is very pretty and ornate from the inside. You can go in anytime but we took a last minute opportunity to buy a concert ticket for the evening to enjoy the acoustic inside. We didn’t regret it at all. The concert was excellent for children and adults and the beauty of the church made it magical. I highly recommend visiting.

This church is one of if not the best church we’ve been in over the years, the work put in, paintings, art work & decor & to listening to a quartet of strings playing Mozart is breath taking. Fantastic evening worth every penny but for those that go in the winter wrap up warm has there is no heating. Magical experience.

MuseumsQuartier Wien, also known as MQ, is a captivating blend of historic and contemporary architecture housing some of the city's most impressive museums. The complex, once the Imperial Court Stables designed by Fischer von Erlach, now showcases thousands of 20th and 21st-century masterpieces.
I was there briefly, just to walk around that plaza. I felt that the place has so much history and tradition that I need to visit it again and spend more time going to all the museums.

St. Charles's Church, also known as Karlskirche, is an 18th-century Habsburg cathedral located in Vienna. The church features a 32.5-meter platform offering stunning views of its ornate frescoes. It is a unique blend of ancient Roman and Greek architectural elements combined with Byzantine, Baroque, and Renaissance styles.
An evening in the church with Vivaldi's Four Seasons. A beautiful church, richly marbled, and a perfect setting for a cold night listening to music. Recommended. Get tickets, it sells out.

I'll never understand why you have to pay to visit churches and cathedrals. In Spain, most cathedrals charge an entrance fee. But in France, none (from what I've seen) while in Vienna, some are free, while others, like this one, require an expensive entrance fee (10 euros or more). Why? The exterior is splendid, and the interior even more so, I suppose... But I do not think you should pay for a church or a cathedral!

Very interesting church from the inside. The dome inside is decorated with some modern lighting that makes is look more unique that anything else I have seen anywhere. You can also go upstairs and get a view from the top which is very nice. The alter inside is very nice and everything inside is build in a Baroque style with some Greek like columns which is interesting.
Anand — Google review
The Karlskirche is one of Vienna’s most beautiful Baroque churches, built in the 18th century by Emperor Charles VI in gratitude for the end of a plague. Dedicated to Saint Charles Borromeo, the church is renowned for its grand dome, twin columns inspired by Trajan’s Column in Rome, and its harmonious blend of classical and baroque elements. Inside, visitors can admire stunning frescoes, marble details, and panoramic views from the dome’s viewing platform. The church also hosts classical concerts and light installations, making it not only a place of worship but also a center of art and culture in Vienna.

I attended a Vivaldi concert here and it was very nice. It was cold inside, so I was happy I had warm clothes, even though a light blanket was provided. I liked the music and the acoustics in the church was amazing. What I didn't like was that the toilets were the public toilets, about 100m away from the church, and I had to pay to use them, even though I had payed a ticket for the concert. I think that, if they are hosting events and charging for the tickets, they should use some of the money to build proper toilets for their guests on site.

Absolutely gorgeous church, much more modern design than a lot others in the city, but extraordinary experience, and dont forget to climb up to the top balcony for great views of the city. 4 stars because it is the only church you have to pay to enter in the city, and the art fixture of neon squiggles completely prevents you from looking at the art on tbe roof

The Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel, also known as Riesenrad, is a famous attraction located in the Wiener Prater. Originally opened to the public in 1766 by Habsburg Joseph II, this former royal hunting ground quickly became a popular entertainment hub for locals. The Ferris wheel was built in 1897 and rises to 65m, offering visitors stunning views of the city during its 20-minute rotation.
The Great Wheel From Vienna, a wonderful symbol of this city. It's definitely a must for those coming here. The views are stunning and the tickets are worth it. This is the best thing from Prater! 🙌 I definitely recommend it! ✅️🌟👍🏻
Mario-Liviu G — Google review
Very immersive and fun experience, if you buy card online you have fast access. You can also buy ViennaPass and also go through fast line. Sometimes you need to wait at the entrance, and the reason for that is that only around 10-12 people can enter at one time in one of the rooms on the wheel. It's not the highest experience you can have at the Prater, but it's very nice and calm ride. It lasts around 15-20 minutes. Only thing is bad that you can't sit inside, and you have to stand up the whole ride which can be challenging if you were walking and visiting the city on the same day. There is also a shop at the bottom where you can buy souvenirs.

We visited the Viennese Giant Ferris Wheel on our last night in Vienna, and it was an absolute treat. It’s about a 20-minute Uber ride from the city centre, but completely worth it, especially if you time it for sunset. Despite rush-hour traffic, we arrived just in time and it made the evening feel special. The check-in process was smooth, the cabins are comfortable and well-maintained, and the views over Vienna are simply breathtaking. The whole experience takes around 30 minutes, giving plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and atmosphere. We booked our tickets in advance, though it’s not strictly necessary unless you’re visiting on a weekend or during peak hours. A wonderful way to end a stay in this beautiful city.

The Museum of Military History, also known as the Military History Institute, is housed in a former city arsenal commissioned by Emperor Franz Joseph. It's considered one of the most important military history museums globally and features an extensive collection of artifacts documenting Austria's military history from medieval times to the 1950s. The museum showcases a wide array of weapons, armaments, uniforms, and more, providing insight into Austria's involvement in various wars.
Super interesting museum! It’s got different times in history with loads of information. They have the car in which Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, as well as his uniform and a couple extra things related, which is really interesting. The building itself is lovely. It’s very well priced, mainly if you compare it with other museums in the city (3.5€).

My son and I marvelled at the statues in the entrance and portraits of past leaders from the 17th and 18th centuries upwards. Steeped in history as the photos will show.

Additionally, visitors can enjoy activities like bowling, cinema, and shopping at the mall with its diverse range of shops offering watches, clothes, and more.

Just a bad location for concerts. Very bad sound - if one stands even slightly off center/center it's basically very loud mono. Logistics inside are just a joke: Forced coat check (2€ per piece, not person!) and after the concert the coat check lines block the exits - just wonderfull chaos. Food and drink are quite overpriced, drinks are ok but nothing special, food looked unappealing, did not try. Cash only too, which is a joke in 2025.
M — Google review
Unfortunately, the organization of the concert was extremely poor and far below the standard one would expect for a €50 ticket. The entrance procedure was chaotic and severely understaffed, causing dangerously crowded bottlenecks both when entering and leaving the venue. Staff were unable to manage the number of people, provided almost no information, and kept visitors waiting outside for long periods. Because of the excessively long queue — even though we arrived at 19:30 — we missed the opening act entirely. The mandatory cloakroom with a €2 charge per item (including scarf or sweater) felt like an intentional rip-off, especially considering the already high ticket price and very modest level of organization. Overall, what should have been a great evening was overshadowed by the poor logistics, unhelpful staff, and avoidable safety risks. For a venue of this size and reputation, this level of management is simply unacceptable

Vienna Twin Tower is a striking architectural feat in Vienna, designed by the Italian firm Fuksas. The two towers, with 37 and 34 floors respectively, stand at irregular angles to each other and are connected by bridges at various heights. This unique design adds character to the low-rise business district where they are located. Completed in 2001 as part of the Wienerberg City urban development project, these towers mark a departure from Vienna's historical prohibition on skyscrapers.

Absolutely phenomenal. You get a newfound respect for Vienna's cultural and art revolution in the 20th century, and realize just how deep of an impact it made on the European and global scene. Art, furniture, architecture, anecdotes, everything on display resonates and leaves a lasting impression. The brilliance on display is humbling. Understandably the homage to Klimt and the Secession is quite extensive, but not without merit. Klimt's Life and Death is breathtaking, as are the other works (sadly the Kiss is at Belvedere). Easily one of my favorite museums across Europe. Well worth spending a few hours.

It's not obvious from the museum name what kind of it is. It's definitely a unique place and could be on an attraction list when visiting Vienna.

If you'd want to extend your cultural horizons it's a great place to visit. While I liked my visit I had more expectation hence four stars.

This was truly an unforgettable experience. I’ve listened to classical music since childhood, especially during music class contests, so this concert deeply resonated with my soul— it brought so much nostalgia and joy. The concert started at 8PM, but I arrived early to explore the music halls and the charming areas outside. Although I watched at the Brahms Hall, the view was still exceptional, with stunning architecture and elegant interiors. The orchestra performed so beautifully, and the singers were absolutely incredible. There was even a short intermission in the middle of the performance, giving everyone time to stand up, stretch, or visit the restrooms before the next act. Everything was very well-organized, and the staff were kind and accommodating. I’d definitely love to experience it again, highly recommended! ✔️Another one crossed off my bucket list! 🎶✨

Absolutely loved visiting Maria-Theresien-Platz! 😍 The architecture is stunning, with two beautiful museums facing each other and the grand statue of Maria Theresa right in the middle 👑. It’s such a peaceful spot to relax, take photos 📸, or just enjoy the vibe of Vienna. The gardens are super well-kept and everything feels so elegant and historic 🌿🏛️. Great place to stop by, especially in the evening when everything lights up ✨. A must-visit if you’re in the city!

Nestled within the enchanting gardens of Schönbrunn Palace, the Großes Palmenhaus Schönbrunn stands as a testament to botanical beauty and architectural grandeur. Established in 1882, this impressive greenhouse spans an astonishing 111 meters, making it not only Austria's largest but also one of the most significant greenhouses globally. With its three distinct pavilions, visitors can explore a diverse array of tropical, subtropical, and Mediterranean plants that thrive in this temperature-controlled haven.
The Palmenhaus at Schönbrunn is stunning. A huge historic glasshouse filled with exotic plants, tropical palms, and rare flowers. The architecture alone is worth the visit, and walking inside feels like stepping into another world.

Beautiful greenhouse complex with an ongoing exhibition about giant Victoria Amazonia water lilies—I thought the lilies would be in a bigger pond, but still enjoyed experiencing these lovely flowers. The lady at the ticketing counter is also very patient and helpful. Thank you!

The Palmenhaus is absolutely stunning and was one of our favorite parts of Schönbrunn. From the outside it looks like a grand glass cathedral, but stepping inside feels like entering a different world. Towering palms, exotic plants, and the humid air make it feel almost dreamlike, and the structure itself is a work of art with its elegant iron and glass design. It’s easy to lose track of time wandering through the different sections, spotting plants you’ve never seen before and soaking in the atmosphere. Well worth the ticket, and a perfect escape if you want something a little quieter and more magical than the busy palace grounds.
Karolina — Google review
An absolute architectural masterpiece and one of the most magnificent greenhouses in the world! Stepping inside the Palmenhaus is like being instantly transported to a lush, tropical rainforest. The scale is awe-inspiring – the soaring cast-iron and glass structure houses towering palm trees, exotic plants, and a serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from Vienna. It’s not just a collection of plants; it's a beautifully curated ecosystem with winding paths, little bridges, and even a small café to sit and soak it all in. The perfect escape for a rainy day or when you need a warm, green retreat. A true jewel of Schönbrunn. Pro Tip: Look up! The architecture of the greenhouse itself is a work of art. And don't miss the butterfly house if it's open.

Palm house is a gigantic, yet elegant and stately greenhouse encompassing 3 pavillions. It was established back in 1882. Was thrilled to see vanilla bean flower and experience its exotic, rich and abundant smell. Arabica coffee plant was a very educational experience. Resident biologist (?) of the greenhouse was very friendly and happily answered my kids multiple questions. Overall, the Palm House is very family-oriented and kid-friendly facility.

This is a must-see in Vienna if, like us, you love botanical gardens and parks. Of course, if you visit Schönbrunn Palace, one of the top three places to see in Vienna, you absolutely must visit the Palmenhaus. One could say it's expensive, too humid and unpleasant inside, or that the selection of plants isn't up to our expectations... I nevertheless highly recommend you go and visit it. Of course, as always, it's best to buy your tickets online to choose the time that suits you and avoid the endless lines: it's better to enjoy the magnificent plants than to wait in the endless queues. Have fun and take many photos!

The Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial, also known as the Nameless Library, is a moving tribute located in Vienna's Jewish quarter. This memorial commemorates the 65,000 Viennese Jews who perished during the Nazi regime. The concrete library structure, designed by artist Rachel Whiteread, symbolizes an introverted and non-accessible space filled with books placed backwards on the shelves to represent the countless victims and their life stories.
Beautiful poignant. A very quiet part which used to be the old Jewish quarter. 65, 000 Jews massacred here alone.

The Judenplatz Holocaust Memoria a memorial dedicated especially to the Jewish victims of fascism in Austria. The monument takes the form of a tomb and symbolic resting place of the Jews. The memorial is a steel and concrete rectangular building with an outside surfaces carved with countless books stacked together to give the appearance of library shelves turned inside out as the spines of the books face the inside. The books are an allegory to the countless number of victims and a reference to the Jews as "People of the Book." Around the tomb and on the concrete ground are etched the names of the concentration camps, lest we forget. A very respectful monument and plus one for the memory.

One of two interesting monuments at Judenplatz is the Holocaust Memorial which is dedicated to the 65,000 Viennese Jews who were killed during the Holocaust (1941-45). The memorial was designed by British artist Rachel Whiteread and is an interesting library concept. Here you see 11 shelves filled with endless copies of the same book. Interestingly, the spine of the books are turned inward so that you don't know the title of the books, which are supposed to stand for the many victims of the Holocaust and their lives. It is a touching memorial and gesture to the victims of the Holocaust and something that is well worth spending a few minutes to appreciate if visiting and planning to spend time in this area of Vienna.

The Sigmund Freud Museum is a tribute to the life and work of the renowned father of psychoanalysis. Housed in an elegant building not far from Vienna's historic Hofburg district, this museum offers a glimpse into Freud's personal and professional life. Visitors can explore his former practice and private quarters, which served as the family home for nearly five decades.
Wonderfully leisurely perusal of all rooms, all displays. An illuminating visit. Just seeing some of the lukewarm, or negative reviews. Best to ignore. If you’re interested in psychoanalysis, if you’re interested in Freud, if you’re interested in the intellectual and cultural vitality of a bygone Vienna, you will find the museum as we did: fascinating.

Ok Museum if you were curious about what Freud had as wallpaper and his antique figurines. There are info plaque to read about Freuds work but not very comprehensive and sort of randomly put together with unfinished stories. I went in the fall and it eas very busy not sure there would be much room to read all the info in peak tourist season. Exhibits need to be recurated maybe start with a 10 min video giving an overview of his career and then focus on some of his work supporters and critiques and maybe some guest artist on the theme. After this vist I lost any interest in Freud and his work, you see how shelter a life he mostly lived his life in this building and I start to wonder did he really have the life experience to fully comprehend the mind.

While Karlsplatz Station may not impress much beyond its historic façades unless there are exhibitions inside (which wasn’t the case during our summer visit) it’s still a very convenient and safe hub. The Vienna U-Bahn (Untergrundbahn meaning “underground train”) is a highly efficient system — clean, reliable, and well connected. That said, it’s not the easiest to navigate if you don’t speak German. Luckily, ChatGPT was our translator and tourist guide throughout the trip which made a huge difference. Having a McDonald’s and Starbucks right at the station was also a bonus for us as a family, super convenient when we needed a quick bite or coffee. Even though both spots were always busy, the service stayed friendly and fast every time we visited.

The music was enjoyable as well. The hymnals are in English for the English mass :). The notes are the same though!

Its considrred the first church in Vienna dedicated to Mary. It is called Mary by the river (the river now had been diverted elsewhere so its no longer by the river :) ) The Redemptorist Missionary priests are caretakers of the Church which is also home to the remains of a great Redemptorist Saint: Saint Clement Maria Hoffbauer CSsR. He is the second patron of the city of Vienna. He played a great role in the city's Catholic revival during an era of heavy enlightenment and anti-religious era. St. Clement together with the city's inteligensia inspired the romantic philosophical movement so that the Catholic heritage, faith and devotion was greatly preserved. I went up to its bell tower and it was magnificent. But you got to ask permission and with a guide from Father Rector Dominic a kind Irish Redemptotist who speaks good German. Please pray there for an increase of vocations in Europe. If you are Filipino, Dr. Jose Rizals place is just few blocks away. Most probably he visited this church as mentioned in his memoires.

My recent visit to the library at Vienna's University (WU) was an absolute delight. The atmosphere at the library was nothing short of inspiring, making it an ideal place for my projects in life science and scientific paper writing. The library provided a serene environment, perfect for deep concentration and research. What stood out the most was the sense of quiet productivity that permeated the library. It was evident that fellow students and researchers were dedicated to their academic pursuits, creating an encouraging atmosphere. I found my time at the library to be highly productive and motivating. It's not just a place to study; it's a sanctuary for those passionate about advancing their knowledge and career. What's more, the library's location is a true advantage. There are wonderful eateries and cafes nearby, providing convenient options for refueling during study breaks. Moreover, the iconic Prater park is just a stone's throw away, offering a creative escape for a leisurely stroll when you need to recharge your inspiration. It's a gem for students and researchers, and I look forward to returning for more productive and inspiring sessions.

Kugelmugel is a unique attraction located in Prater Park, Vienna. It is a globe-shaped studio and self-declared republic featuring contemporary art on display. The micronation was established in 1984 when Austrian artist Edwin Lipburger had a dispute with the government over the construction of his spherical house. This led to Lipburger declaring his property an independent nation, resulting in a jail sentence and later a presidential pardon.
Unfortunately the place was closed, but definitely I would love to visit the inside. My first micronation site ever but hopefully not the last one (although this one is one of the easiest in terms of access).

(Translated by Google) [September 2004] After getting off the station, I walked along the shopping street and found it easily. However, on this day, it seemed like the whole street was having a festival, and although it's hard to tell from the photo, there were temporary tents and so it was impossible to see it from the front. When I visited, it was undergoing renovations. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was near the entrance, I decided to go inside without permission. And there, I was greeted by the world of Domenic! Everything in that perfectly staged space makes my heart dance and sends dopamine through my body. The hand visible at the back of the duct is said to be modeled after Domenic's own hand. The only disappointing thing is that the whole thing is rough around the edges, or to put it bluntly, the work is sloppy and lacks texture. (Original) 【2004年9月】 駅を降りて、商店街に沿って歩けばすぐにみつかった。しかし、この日は商店街あげてのお祭りのようで、写真では分からないが、仮設テントとかで、正面からはとても見れない状態。 訪れたときは改修工事中。誰も入り口付近にいないことを良いことに、ちょっと中に無断で入ってみた。すると、ドメニクの世界が出迎えてくれた! その完璧までに演出された空間の構成物のなにを見ても心踊り、ドーパミンが体中に巡る。 ダクトの奥に見える手は、ドメニク自身の手をモデルにしているという。 ただ残念なのは、全体的に荒削りというか、はっきりいうと、仕事が雑で、質感が伴っていない。

Rooftop Remodeling Falkestrasse is a fascinating architectural gem nestled atop a historic building in the heart of Vienna. Designed by Wolf Prix of Coop Himmelb(l)au in 1988, this project stands as one of the pioneering examples of deconstructivist architecture. Characterized by its strikingly angular forms and an almost fragmented appearance, it challenges traditional design norms and evokes a sense of intentional discomfort.

The museum is located on the Ringstrasse, and visitors can explore its endless galleries filled with incredible masterpieces. Some of the most renowned artists in history are represented, including Caravaggio, Tintoretto, van Dyck, Raphael, Rembrandt, and Rubens.
Very nice museum. If you have time to spend then try this museum. First and foremost, the architecture and design inside is beautiful. You can just spend some time looking at the walls, ceiling, pillars and the stairs going up. There are multiple types of art exhibition in here, so you can pick and choose which one you want to visit. I would highly recommend going to this museum.

This is an absolutely magnificent museum. Its collection of masterpieces rivals that of many other renowned museums. The building itself is absolutely magnificent, with magnificent paintings by Bruegel, Raphael, Velázquez and many others. On the top floor is a truly unique coin collection, and its presentation and design are equally unique. The museum itself, in the center, has an aesthetically pleasing café where you can enjoy not only the taste but also the beauty of the interior. You could spend a whole day here, and there are also amazing temporary exhibitions, very interesting!

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna is a masterpiece in itself.. it is a grand blend of art, history, and architecture. Its majestic domed building sets the tone for what’s inside: an extraordinary collection of European art spanning centuries. Highlights include works by Vermeer, Raphael, Titian, and an exceptional Bruegel collection, the largest in the world. The Egyptian and Greek antiquities are equally impressive, offering a fascinating glimpse into ancient civilizations. The museum’s layout is elegant and spacious, and the café beneath the dome is a perfect spot to pause and soak in the atmosphere. A must-visit for anyone interested in art, culture, or simply beautiful places.

The Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien is simply breathtaking — a true temple of art, history, and human genius. From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by centuries of civilisation, magnificently preserved under one roof. Its vast collections span from antiquities to Renaissance and modern masterpieces, sculptures, archaeological treasures, and artifacts that tell the story of humanity across millennia. The architecture itself is a masterpiece, grand marble halls, gilded domes, and sweeping staircases that make every step feel like walking through history. Each gallery unveils another marvel, whether it’s the timeless beauty of Bruegel’s Tower of Babel, the emotional intensity of Madonna sculptures, or the rediscovered brilliance of artists like Michaelina Wautier. Be prepared to spend at least eight hours, if not an entire day, wandering through this palace of knowledge and beauty. Every piece has a story; every corridor, a heartbeat of civilisation. The Kunsthistorisches Museum is not just a museum — it’s a journey through the evolution of art and humanity itself. Totally awe-inspiring. Highly recommend!!!

There are no words to truly capture how incredible this museum is! From the moment I walked in, I was blown away by the stunning exhibits and the sheer scale of the collection. The museum offers a perfect blend of history, art, and culture, with each display more captivating than the last. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, and the atmosphere is both inspiring and thought-provoking. The staff is also knowledgeable and friendly, enhancing the overall experience. Whether you're a fan of art, history, or simply looking to explore something new, this museum has something for everyone. It’s a must-visit in Vienna, absolutely unforgettable!

Beautiful baroque building, with high marbled walls and domed ceilings - an artwork on its own. The galleries we explored are large and comprehensively capture primarily Renaissance art - rich colors, photo-realistic subjects, and heavy religious symbolism. We were rushed for time, ideally you should plan a day to wander through the galleries. Very enjoyable.

I recommend setting aside a day for a leisurely stroll. My wife and I spent four hours here, and we barely noticed the time fly by. The art history inside is captivating. The paintings, sculptures, and drawings, even the cafe in the middle of the museum, are so beautiful and astonishing that you'll wonder, "Where am I? What kind of place is this?" Even climbing the stairs, the captivating atmosphere everywhere can make you fall in love. This should be your top priority when visiting Vienna, and then you'll be even more captivated by the Albertina Museum.

The Museum of Natural History Vienna is a grand 19th-century museum housing an extensive collection of specimens, including dinosaur skeletons and meteorites. The museum features the famous 24,000-year-old Venus of Willendorf, discovered in the low-lying Danube plain near Vienna. The city's history dates back to Roman times when it was founded as Vindobona, serving as a defensive outpost against Germanic tribes.
I was blown away by the size of the collections. The minerals collection was endless, including the meteoroid and other extraterrestrial rocks. Wish I had more time to fully explore all floors and collections. Recommends to take a full day if you are a tourist who is also natural history enthusiast or mineral enthusiast. Realistically, you will probably take more than a week to fully immerse in everything the museum has to offer. So, strategise your time wisely before visiting.

One of the most interesting museums! An incredible number of exhibits - from stones to taxidermied animals. The variety is stunning. It's impossible to see everything, impossible to listen to everything the audio guide offers. By the way, I recommend getting the audio guide.

The Vienna Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum Wien) is nothing short of magnificent - a temple of knowledge wrapped in imperial grandeur. From the moment you step into its vast marble halls beneath a painted dome, you realize this isn’t just a museum; it’s a cathedral dedicated to the wonder of creation. Its collections are astonishing in both scale and diversity, treasures gathered from every corner of the world. Ancient fossils, towering skeletons, glittering minerals, and lifelike dioramas tell the story of Earth and life in exquisite detail. The meteorite hall, one of the largest in the world, is absolutely captivating, fragments of the cosmos themselves resting quietly behind glass, reminders that we are part of something much larger. The gemstone collection dazzles in contrast: a kaleidoscope of color and light that turns science into art. And then there’s the architecture, majestic, symmetrical, and deeply human in its craftsmanship. Every corridor and ceiling fresco seems to invite you to pause, look up, and feel small in the best possible way. A visit to the Vienna Natural History Museum is not just educational, it’s humbling. It connects past and present, Earth and sky, science and beauty. Truly one of Vienna’s crown jewels, where curiosity feels sacred. Highly recommend. You would spend more than 5 hours of your time here. And it is totally worth it. Be prepared to feel overwhelmed.

Highly recommended! The Natural History Museum offers such a different experience compared to other museums. The dinosaur fossils are absolutely fascinating and a true highlight. What struck me personally was walking through the crystals, stones, and elements, it felt like seeing all the components I once studied in my high school chemistry book, but in real life! Haha! Alert: people who have irrational/weird fear of snakes should be mindful about visiting the snake section upstairs.

On the 3 floor there is a room for kids to have hands on labs. The building is so beautiful inside there are nice drawings and scultpures on the walls. There is a cafe/restaurant withlight meals and cakes. We had a great time. Kids under 19 are free.

Brasserie Palmenhaus Wien is a stunning former tropical house located in the Burggarten, offering upscale dining and drinking options. Originally built as a summer greenhouse for the Emperor in the 19th century, it now houses an impressive array of exotic plants. The restaurant serves traditional cuisine and brunch-style dishes, including sandwiches, cereals, fruits, and a special Austrian breakfast.
This was my first taste of Austrian food and also the one that stuck with me the most. I tried many more Austrian restaurants during my trip and I always found myself comparing those places to this one. The atmosphere and the outdoor seating really contributed to the vibes of this place, not to mention the food was easily some of my favorite I had on my trip.

Had breakfast at Palmenhaus Vienna and honestly, what a vibe! The place is absolutely stunning – a glasshouse full of greenery right in the middle of Burggarten, with sunlight streaming in and a view that makes you feel like you’re in a mini botanical paradise. Breakfast was tasty, fresh, and beautifully served, but I have to say the portion felt a bit small for the price. Still, the unique atmosphere, the elegant yet relaxed vibe, and the whole experience totally make it worth it. Perfect spot for a cozy morning, weekend brunch, or just coffee in a dreamy setting. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Vienna

The main selling point of this location is definitely it's atmosphere. It's stunning and is lovely and light. I enjoyed the wine, coffee and dessert I had, and would recommend the apple strudel which was lovely, flaky and sweet. However, I found my main course of the gnocci a little lacking for the price point. It didn't impress me with the flavours particularly and it was very basic, but some may enjoy that , not sure if the meat options are better. I would recommend instead coming for a dessert and coffee or aperitif, and enjoying the ambience of the place. Good for a mid afternoon break, after exploring the surrounding area

This is such a nice place to have breakfast or a coffee. We were on our way to the museum, so we decided to stop here first, and I have to say, the service is great. I loved how warm and cozy it feels inside, with so much natural light. The atmosphere is perfect. The food was incredible. We had a strudel and some eggs with bacon, and everything was amazing. Living in Dubai, we don’t usually get bacon, so I ate as much bacon as possible while I was in Vienna, and it did not disappoint. This was my first breakfast in Vienna, and it was a great one. I highly recommend having breakfast here if you’re in the area. If you’re planning to visit the museum, stop by for a coffee, a pastry, a full meal, or even just a tea. It’s such a lovely place to sit, unwind, and enjoy the view.

the jesuitenkirche (jesuit church) is one of those places that completely surprises you. from the outside, it looks pretty plain, just a simple facade with a couple of towers. you'd probably walk right by it if you didn't know better. ​but once you step inside, wow. it's like a baroque explosion. the interior is incredibly opulent and decorated with tons of gold and ornate detail. the whole space is a feast for the eyes, with rich colors and a real sense of grandeur. ​the best part, though, is the ceiling. you're looking up, and you see this magnificent dome. but then you realize... it's not a real dome! it's a trompe-l'œil painting on a flat ceiling that creates this amazing illusion of a dome with incredible perspective. it was painted by a jesuit artist named andrea pozzo in the 1700s, and it's a masterpiece of optical illusion. you can walk around and see how the perspective changes as you move. ​it’s a much more less crowded space than st. stephen's or karlskirche. you can really take your time and admire the details without feeling rushed. it's a true hidden gem and a great reminder that you can't always judge a book by its cover. and it's free to enter, so it's a perfect stop to make if you're in the area

Wien Museum Otto Wagner Kirche am Steinhof, also known as St. Leopold's Church or Otto Wagner Church, is a landmark Catholic hospital oratory with stunning art nouveau architecture and a striking white marble exterior. Designed by the renowned Austrian architect Otto Wagner, this historic church was built between 1904 and 1907 to serve the patients of the neighboring psychiatric hospital Am Steinhof. The unconventional design of the church sparked controversy among the population at that time.
This was one of my favorite buildings of my Vienna trip. Under the decorative surface lie something elegant and functional. I also like the intrinsic connection to caring for patients. From the pews, to the internal wall and the tap for holy water, the building was designed to work in the healthcare context - whilst looking absolutely glorious.

Bathed in golden light against Vienna’s summer sky, the Otto Wagner Church at Steinhof stands as a masterpiece of sacred modernism. Completed in 1907, it was designed not only as a place of worship but as a sanctuary of dignity and hope for patients of the nearby psychiatric hospital. Every line, curve, and gilded detail reflects Wagner’s belief that beauty can heal the soul, a shining crown of the Vienna Secession, still radiating peace more than a century later.

The Otto Wagner Church, also known as Kirche am Steinhof, is a breathtaking masterpiece of Viennese Art Nouveau, perched majestically atop the Baumgartner Höhe in Vienna’s 14th district. Designed by Otto Wagner and completed in 1907, this church is a testament to his innovative vision, blending aesthetic brilliance with functional design tailored for its original purpose as an institutional chapel for a psychiatric hospital. The golden dome, adorned with 8,000 fire-gilded copper plates, gleams from afar, drawing visitors through the serene Steinhofgründe park to its marble-clad facade, punctuated by copper rivets and crowned with sculptural angels by Othmar Schimkowitz. Inside, the church is a symphony of light and geometry. Koloman Moser聿 Moser’s vibrant stained-glass windows flood the space with color, while Wagner’s meticulous design—rounded corners, sloped floors, and emergency exits—reflects thoughtful consideration for its original patients. The high altar, with its golden canopy and mosaics, feels both modern and timeless, a bridge between tradition and innovation. The church’s serene yet striking ambiance is unforgettable, though limited opening hours (Saturdays and Sundays, mid-March to October) and a steep climb to reach it require planning. A guided tour enhances the experience, revealing the church’s rich history and architectural genius. Despite its dark historical context tied to the hospital’s Nazi-era past, the church remains a symbol of Vienna’s cultural zenith, offering a profound, reflective visit for architecture enthusiasts and history buffs alike.

What a wonderful idea to find stillness in a sacred place when ill. Wonderful views from the place, connected to a forest one can hike in, an ideal place for mental and spiritual recovery. The church itself is a masterpiece of 20th century architecture and an Austrian gem of the well known Art Deco period. Simple elegant measured constrained powerful vibrant beauty inside out.

mumok - Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien is a contemporary art museum in Vienna, Austria. It houses an impressive collection of 20th-century art, featuring works from movements such as fluxus, nouveau realism, pop art, and photo-realism. The museum's dark basalt edifice stands in stark contrast to the historical sleeve of the MuseumsQuartier.
A contemporary art museum which focus on the works from the 1960-1990. To me, some of the art fit the category of modern art. There's no digital art or interactive ones which we often see from this century. The space is full of art works except -3 floor, yet I'm sure that the curator does it with intention.

It was good because I didn't pay the entrance only for this museum, but it was included in the long night of the Museums. Since I arrived, the girl from the entrance was rude and asked me to take my jacket to the wardrobe, I said I was wearing it and I was cold and wanted to keep it, she said "no", I asked if it was mandatory and she said "yes", this already made a bad experience but the girl in the wardrobe from Venezuela was super polite and nice. I finally got in to realise that many people kept their jackets, coats and they were even carrying them, I was mad because in the higher floors it was cold for me. Therewith, there are great works and things so disgusting that really, why do they call it art? I agree with another review here talking about the non sense of "works" like Yoko Ono and the exhibition of "mapping the 60's" is really disturbing but that thing shouldn't be considered art. The architecture could be good, but the lifts are simply non coordinating and very slow. It was in general a bad experience.

Domenico Gnoli's Tie (1968) is a powerful work of Pop Art that transforms a section of male attire into a monumental, almost abstract subject. Executed in acrylic and sand on canvas, the piece achieves a striking visual tension by contrasting the rich, tactile texture of the central pattern, rendered in vibrant mustard yellow and deep teal lines, with the smooth, pale forms that frame it. By isolating and dramatically enlarging this common object, Gnoli shifts the viewer's focus from its function to its formal qualities of line, pattern, and symmetry. The result is an image that is both intensely familiar and strangely surreal, inviting a hypnotic contemplation of the complexity found in the everyday. #mumok #MuseummodernerKunstStiftungLudwigWien #Vienna

The Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) is housed in a spacious 19th-century building and showcases displays of fashion, furniture, and architectural design. The museum features an extensive collection of Austrian design, including revolutionary furniture pieces by Joseph Ulrich Danhauser and Michael Thonet. Visitors can admire the famous No. 14 Thonet chairs from the 19th century as well as Empire and Biedermeier-style objects.
Stunning atrium. The basement exhibitions, both permanent and temporary, are more inspiring than the classics on the ground floor. The second floor (2nd in the US and Chinese sense, but 1st floor in the German speaking areas) are basically closed ( three rooms under renovation and the lecture hall only open to events).

Located at Stubenring 5, 1010 Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹. The MAK (Museum of Applied Arts) is an amazing museum in Vienna that not only focuses on traditional arts and crafts and design but also architecture and contemporary art. At night, the building is illuminated with a wonderful permanent MAKlite. It’s wonderful to watch. Ticket prices - Online €15.50 On site €16.50 I suggest using the museum audio guide, it provides great information about the artefacts and lets you go at your own pace. I also suggest getting your tickets online, you save money and also you can skip the lines. The museum traces its roots back to 1864 and the opening of the Imperial Royal Museum of Art and Industry, intended as Austria’s equivalent to what is now the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. There’s so much to see at the MAK, from Baroque glassware to industrial design. We were kept interested throughout the whole time we were there. There’s always the permanent exhibitions and collections but there also the temporary ones that we found so interesting. The building itself is truly inspiring, the architecture is simply amazing. We had a wonderful time at this museum and would definitely recommend. Thumbs up!!! 👍👍

A beautiful and truly fascinating museum. The exhibitions are not only visually impressive but also explore important topics like sustainability and ecological design. There’s so much to see and reflect on – a must-visit for anyone interested in art, design, and the future of how we live.

This museum is supposed to have a great collection, for example of carpets, but the things on display are really limited. The display in the room dedicated to Asia is maybe interesting as an instalation but totally visitor non-frienly (handwriten captions on a transparent glass???). The building is stunning though ! A Renaissance vila in the centr of Vienna.

Spent about 1.5-2 hours, no waiting for tickets. Beautiful building with ornate ceilings, interesting exhibits on modern design/innovation juxtaposed with antique furniture+decor. They have a gorgeous exhibit on Christmas ornaments running until early January. It was a highlight.

I had a nice time and also I had lunch there. It’s a little difficult to guide yourself through the museum and there’s some mistakes with the online audio tour. I spent more time than I thought I would spend there, but it was interesting. I wouldn’t say it’s the best museum, but it was fine for what it was.

If you're looking for a design museum, this is a good place to visit. I didn't have much time to spend as they were closing, but I managed to see everything. Had I known there was going to be an arts & crafts bazaar, I would have come a little earlier.

Great musueam with very friendly staff at the reception, multiple expositions with some permanent and other changing depending on the time of the year. In the center there is a bunch of sofa to chill in between expositions. Divers thèmes and estethics

Karlsplatz is a lively square in Vienna, known for being one of the city's largest. It features an impressive 18th-century Baroque church, the St. Charles Church, with its striking blue dome. Nearby, visitors can explore the bustling Naschmarkt, Vienna's most popular market. Additionally, during winter, Karlsplatz hosts a traditional Christmas market right in front of the church.

Wiener Minoritenkirche, also known as the Minorite Church, is a 13th-century Gothic church located in the inner city of Vienna. It features a rebuilt flat roof and houses a stunning mosaic of Da Vinci's Last Supper. The church is part of the medieval-era buildings in the area, along with other notable structures like Schottenkloster, Maria am Gestade, Michaelerkirche, and St Stephens Cathedral.
We stumbled upon this church almost by accident coming out of Central Cafe. What a surprise it was. From the outside, it shows that different bits have been added as one can see from the different masonry. Inside it has magnificent features, like frescoes that were found on the walls. There is also an amazing painting of the Last Supper commissioned by Napoleon when he entered Vienna.

Just a few steps after Hofburg, you can easily stumble upon this magnificent Gothic style church whose walls hold you gently and interior make you calm.

A nice historical church from Vienna! 🇦🇹 It's also one of these places where they organise nice symphonic concerts. 🎵✅️👍🏻

Amazing church! Just check when they have masses on. The Last Supper is incredible to view! It’s in a rather quiet area so be careful, I was about to walk away thinking everything was closed!
Aaron L — Google review
I got to visit this Gothic gem yesterday. The foundation stone was laid in 1276 by King Ottokar II of Bohemia, and the church’s construction ended in 1350. This is a no frills holy place with some incredible stained glass above the organ. It also house a mosaic reproduction of da Vinci’s “The Last Supper”
Alex M — Google review
very beautiful church. managed to get to the rehearsal of the Italian boys' choir, which performed the Ukrainian Shchedryk (milking pene, as for a Ukrainian it was extremely pleasant). Also in the church there is a 100% copy of the mosaic of Giacomo Raffaelli. This is an exact copy of the famous fresco "The Last Supper" by Leonardo da Vinci, which is located in the Milan monastery of Santa Maria della Grazie.

Nice performance and place although quite unexpected that its not a Mozart music, i saw quite some people feel bored (yawning/head down) during the show due to i think some of us expecting we could have mozart popular music (tourist mainly), and after the show i heard them say “i thought its mozart”…so i rate 5 stars for the performers but the arrangement of music is a bit disappointed
J L — Google review
One of the most beautiful churches you can visit in Vienna. The gothic architecture stuns you the moment you enter through the door. Unlike many other churches that charge you with an absurd entrance fee and that are also crowded with tourists, Minoritenkirche was free to enter and extremely peaceful inside. Religious or not, I would definitely recommend visiting.

Belvedere 21, also known as 21er Haus, is a modern building that was originally the Austrian pavilion at the 1958 Brussels Worlds Fair. It was later disassembled and reconstructed in Vienna's Schweizergarten to serve as an exhibition venue for contemporary art. The museum showcases modern and contemporary art from Austria and beyond, offering thought-provoking installations and abstract expressionism. Visitors can enjoy free admission on the first Wednesday of every month.
Excellent space with a top-tier curatorial practice. The ground floor gallery enjoys magnificent afternoon light thanks to interestingly-tinted windows. Makes for a delightful first stop on a day-long Belvedere tour - this being the highest-located space of the three locations.

Nice space for contemporary art lovers. It was a pleasure to discover the great Austrian sculptor Fritz Wotruba. Amazing decision to use the paperbox in installation. However, the exposition of Ashley Hans was too much (hard to find a word) for me.
Oksana S — Google review
I visited Belvedere 21 during Christmas period, and it wasn’t very crowded making for a peaceful experience. The museum features a diverse collection of modern art. It’s a bit of a walk from the other two Belvedere palaces. While it may not have the same grandeur as the other two, it offers a unique more contemporary art experience that may not be for everyone.

I took the 21€ upper-belvedere only If you want to spend your time because the castels seem telling the same history Good option in vienna
Youcef Y — Google review
Simple and elegant contemporary art museum, minimalistically designed for lovers of art pieces curated with a keen eye for details. I had the pleasure of visiting it while the Kazuko Miyamoto exhibition was curated on the top floor and it was an unbelievably amazing experience. The main hall was reserved for the exhibition of Monster Chetwynd - Moths, bats and velvet worms! Moths, bats and heretics! which contained contemporary art pieces that ranged from truly exciting to rather disappointing ones. In the basement you can enjoy the exhibition of black and white photos taken in Hoffman's time. Strong recommendations to visit if you are looking for something extraordinary that will push the boundaries of your views on contemporary art.

I had an exceptional experience at Belvedere21! The museum’s contemporary art collection is both diverse and thought-provoking, offering a fresh perspective on modern creativity. The exhibits are curated with a keen eye for detail, and the space itself is beautifully designed, creating an engaging atmosphere. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just looking for a stimulating cultural outing, Belvedere21 is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended!

Small but lovely sculpture museum. We saw it as part of the 3-venue Belvedere ticket; a worthwhile combination of that needs 3 total hours to do them all justice
Kurt C — Google review
I would say it’s worth the visit if you really like (or want to explore) contemporary art. Place is not that big. You could do the whole tour in 30 mins to 2 hours. There are permanent and temporary exhibitions.
