We attended a weekday Mass, and even though we don't speak German, it was a special experience. That said, I didn't really care for the organized tour of the cathedral, especially the catacombs. Sorry to say, it's not worth it. St. Stephen's is a beautiful cathedral that's well worth visiting and learning about on your own. The only extra the tour offers is entrance to the catacombs. I've been to many catacombs, and there's nothing particularly special about these ones. It's not worth spending your time on this tour -- go to the Royal Crypt a few blocks away instead. It's much better.

Other special exhibit on those landscape painters was awesome, no-brainer to have those works of Vienna in Vienna are you kidding? phenomenal work team. 10/10 on that one, notes and explanations very informative and explanatory (as they should be) main collection - breathtaking ngl. room after room of masterworks (that ive seen before! ) and had no idea that were here. enormous religious works to chiaroscuro tea and dutch floral still lives and Velasquez Hapsburg portraits and actually good interesting vanitas that isn't just pandering wannabe goth slop yes yes yes. fire. there was one painting of a guy made entirely of fish and that really made my day. good job guys. the organization of the main collection was a little bit crazy but it's completely fine, honestly added to the awe of it all kunstkammer or whatever the fuh the royals' own art collection was genuinely amazing if you guys were forced to pick a floor of this place to save from a fire it better be this one. unfortunately on par/better than the painting collection sorry if that's potentially explosive and controversial. architecture fire and tea, decor excellent roman/greek/egyptian I did NOT get to see because of the closing time... my fault I got there at three mb mb mb . . . . . return that stuff to Egypt tho y'all why is a sarcophagus on the Danube anyways 10.5/10 if you miss this you better not ever forgive yourself

When he saw it, he liked it too. Out popped the phone and off he wandered to take pictures. There is a small covered shopping area, sort of like a mall. You walk in and there are several small shops around a central bar. Some of the shops have an upstairs, so be sure to check everything out! Hubs isn't much of a shopper, so he got a drink at the bar while waiting for me to finish souvenir hunting before joining him. We each had a drink and I picked up some postcards. The bartender wasn't very talkative, but he was friendly and nice. The shops all carry different stuff, but each is quirky and artsy in it's own way....everything fits in in this area. A worthwhile stop, in my opinion, especially if you are looking for something a little different than all the renaissance and Victorian historical stuff. 52/2025

It's almost like there was a big castle in Central Park with the surrounding area being part of the castle. Walking the grounds was quite the workout. The main square area is massive, and the primary palace is so beautiful with the faded yellow color and brownish roof tiling. Home of the Hapsburg Monarchy. Walking through the castle (there is a total of 1441 rooms) is amazing. Each room forward is more stately and beautiful than what you come from. It is truly a site to behold. Once you finish that part of the tour, you get to walk outside and up to the amazing lookout. This took me about 20 minutes to walk up. Absolutely worth taking this walk as the view back to the castle amazing. There is also a restaurant up there. You see half of Vienna from up there, along with the palace and gardens below. The views were amazing and I took as many pictures going up and coming down. Along the main route are some refreshment stands with water and ice cream. The grounds are not just big but HUGE-big. You could easily spend an entire day here, especially if you view the palace as well. This place should be a mandatory part of any trip to the area. It's an amazing learning experience of the life and times of the royal families. As well as how they lived and interacted with other royals. There is an amazing group of people here who can answer questions as direct you. Everyone here is just so knowledgeable. KUDOs to the team at Schloss Schönbrunn.

There's a painting by Klimt I wanted to see, Death and Life, but unfortunately two of their floors were closed for some renovations, so I was disappointed that I was unable to view it during my visit to Vienna.

After visiting Mozarthaus, I enjoyed a long walk exploring Vienna and walking all the way to visit here. Walking through Sigmund Freud's apartments and office where he practiced felt clinical, which made sense, given his line of work. When I told the guy working at the ticket counter I was a student and qualified for a student discount, he asked me for my age. Rude, you don't ask a lady for her age.

We purchased skip-the-line tickets via Viator and rented the self-guided audio headsets (I think they were around $5 each, maybe a little more).

I'll be honest -- I didn't know much about Gustav Klimt before, but after seeing his work, I'm now a big fan. After touring the art museum, stroll through the vast gardens.
