Things to do in Vienna, Vienna Region: The Best Historic Walking Areas

December 21, 2021 Brain Ambrose

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.

Schonbrunner Gardens

Reviewed By zimmys57 - Delavan, United States

We were blessed with a warm sunny afternoon to enjoy this beautiful Vienna landmark. We took in all the stunning gardens, fountains large and small, and then the leisurely stroll up the hill to the Gloriette, The effort to reach the top of the hill was rewarded with breathtaking views of the Schonbrunn Palace and city beyond. What an enjoyable afternoon!
