It's right down the block from my hotel. I passed it a couple of nights and noticed they had pizza on the menu. I had dined on schnitzel a couple of nights and wanted to try Austria's pizza. In Vienna, you walk in a restaurant and seat yourself. The place was buzzing and packed: good sign. I sat down and decided it was a good night to start with soup. I chose the bouillon with dumplings, a healthier choice. It was hearty and the dumplings, sorry to say tasted like Matzoh Brei. However, it hit the spot. As did my Austrian beer. In Europe, beer comes in two sizes: small or 1 liter or large 2 liters or more. My pizza came and I didn't realize how big the portions were. I ordered Margherita, plain and simple. I asked for fresh basil and the server shook is head. Garlic? Crushed red pepper? I was 0 for 3. I cut my pizza with a knife, no pizza cutter. The first slice was heavenly: cheese oozing and just the right amount of sauce. There was hints of garlic on the pizza. It was delicious and after 2 slices I had reached my saturation point. I asked for, dare I say it, a doggy bag. My hopes for tasting the Apple strudel were quickly dashed. Now for the ambience: eclectic mix of people. Young and old were here tonight, enjoying their meal and laughing hearty. There are posters adorning the walls and fresh flowers on the bar. Each table had its own steel basket of cutlery and napkins. The service was nice and efficient. Total bill: 13.9 euros/$16 American

Nice way to spend an evening - Five stars!

After dinner, we went to another room and for me this is where the magic happen. The 9 piece ensemble of strings, piano, percussion, played classical music composed by Mozart, Strauss, Beethoven in the city they lived and maybe composed masterpieces being played by very talented musicians. To see the Viennese waltz danced by a elegant dancers in Vienna felt perfection to me. The male and female singers where so delightful in their rendition of classical songs. At the Kursalon, I understood what Vienna is about...it's glorious culture of music that spanned centuries is being performed on this stage for the audience to experience it's notes that stirs your emotion. It's spiritual as I felt a connection to the past, transported by the performance on stage. I fell in love with Vienna.

I know it is…read morecontroversial because it was built on a small part of the Augarten but in any case what has resulted is architecturally interesting, acoustically fine, and it provides Vienna with a great 400 seat new concert hall. Though it is built for the Vienna Choirboys who live next door, it will actually be used more by other cultural groups who will rent it. The name of the hall stands for the first two letters of Music and Theater and it should actually be written "MuTh Concert Hall." It is filled with dramatic angles everywhere which not only better uses the small space it was allotted to be built on but gives the appearance of being larger than it actually is. Attractive wood paneling provides for excellent acoustics in the concert hall itself. It has of course a café area and a few pieces of whimsical art scattered throughout. Main entrance is from the Augarten side but you can exit directly to the corner where the underground station is. Well done!

Disclaimer: I'm not heavy into opera or know a whole lot about them. However, this place was a WOW moment. Being in Vienna, the most incredible, historical, full of life, music and character, city in the world - a visit to the Opera House was needed. We are so glad we did! They have all kind of seat selections, balcony, floor and even standing for a more budget friendly approach. Our little balcony section was awesome though it had a heavily blocked view we were able to hear everything so clearly plus we had the little screens where you can follow along with the vocals. It was an unforgettable experience and so worth it if you're in Vienna visiting. You can also book tours and learn all about the history of the opera house which I think would be fascinating to learn.

The solo violinist and the female opera singer were true standouts. Their performances felt like pure magic and were among the highlights of the night.

This is pretty much the main reason why I went to Vienna. I've been a fan of Pieter Bruegel since…read morehigh school and this museum has the largest collection of his art in the world. I pretty much spent an hour sitting and looking at their exhibition of his paintings. While most of the art here is Renaissance or just after (and mainly Dutch, German, Italian, and French), there's other good stuff as well. If you like Spanish paintings, there's a lot of Diego Velasquez. Many of the exhibits have German and English descriptions of the art, but there are some that just have German, especially the ancient Greek/Roman and Egyptian parts of the museum. Of course, there are exhibits on relics from the Austro-Hungarian empire. The second (or kinda third) floor of the museum does not have much in terms of exhibits but has an extensive coin collection from that former empire. I liked some of the model ships they had to entertain the royalty during their long dinner parties. Knowing that I would go to other museums, I opt-ed for the 7 Museums annual pass for 53 Euros (as of this writing). It's worth it only if you go to at least two other museums. Just going to the Neue Hofburg across the street and the Imperial Treasury further down will equal the price you paid. I went to those, along with going to Kunsthistorisches another time and Imperial Carriage Museum at Schoenbrunn Palace. You also get re-entry privileges in case you wanted to get some food, because the cafe seemed pretty "touristy" here. Note, this pass does not get you into the Sisi Museum (or related ones) There aren't a ton of restrooms at this museum, so plan accordingly. You could probably cover this museum in about 90 minutes.

If I had it to do over again, I think I'd split up the two art museums on different days. This museum is adjacent to the Hofbrug palace. It was designed as a museum originally, and the Hapsburgs spared no expense on the interior decor. I think I bought tickets in advance, but they were not assigned a time (or even a date). It was just 'one entry'. I suppose that is thanks to the museum's interior size - rooms are generally huge so crowding probably isn't much of an issue. You enter from the front stairway and have your ticket checked. As at the Belvedere, you need to check large bags in lockers that cost 2 Euros but which return your coin at the end. The lobby is a circular tower. There is a hole up through several floors. The 2nd level is a cafe and you can take an elevator up to a 3rd level and have interesting views back down to part of the ground floor. The layout of the museum is on 2 floors. Most people ascend to the upper floor first as that is where the more famous works are located. Here you'll find paintings from the 1600s forward. You'll see works by Velazquez, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Reubens (among others). The audio guide here had the 'select a number' when you encounter a numbered work you wanted to learn more about. It was worthwhile. The rooms are large and the paintings are spread out enough to allow a good flow. I never felt claustrophobic in here. The main stairway up to this floor is breathtaking as well. The ground floor had Egyptian, Greek, and Roman stuff on one side. This also had the largest collection of Roman jewelry I've seen too (maybe the only large set of it). There was at least one room dedicated to all manner of rings, necklaces, etc.). On the other side / wing of this floor is an odd collection of small statues and other odds and ends from the Hapsburgs. This was my favorite art museum in Vienna. I would definitely recommend a visit.
