The 8 Best Government Buildings in Vienna, Vienna Region

April 18, 2022 Roger Rusk

In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

Great place to have a photo shoot as I had the place nearly all to myself. I was able to snag some great photos of the atrium, and Only 3 other couples came in for photos while I was here.

United Nations in Vienna

Vienna's U.N. building is noteworthy both for its architectural and political significance.

A really informative experience with our tour guide Teddy. The Vienna UN building is next to the metro station so it is easy to get to. Lots of souvenirs available and interactive stuff for children. Obviously security is strict but necessary. A very spacious and clean area to look around. Thanks to our knowledgeable guide we came away with a better understanding of the history and purpose of the UN.

Kriegsministerium

Reviewed By a1eksandar - Belgrade, Serbia

Building that shows power of the Austrian empire and their war machinery. Very dominant-looking architecture. Especially the two-headed eagle, that looks simply menacing.
