  • Tip Rating:
  • If you don't have incredibly steep ethical reservations about zoos, visit the zoo on the grounds of the Schonbrunn garden. If you are walking down the gardens from the palace, the entrance to the zoo is on the right just before the hill begins to climb. It happens to be the oldest zoo in the world. The most interesting creature I saw there (not pictured) was an ENORMOUS old sea turtle that must have been almost 200 years old.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Head to the basement of the Secession Building (it's near Karlsplatz, with a bizarre golden dome) to see Gustav Klimt's breathtaking Beethoven Frieze. It's a visualization of Richard Wagner's interpretation of Ludwig Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and it is a thing of rapturous beauty. Please note that photography is not allowed; the image is from a reproduction.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Schloss Belvedere, a beautiful palace which houses a collection of paintings by Gustav Klimt, including his most famous work, 'The Kiss.' Be sure that you don't try to visit on a Catholic holiday, no matter how obscure - the place will be closed (we went on Whit Tuesday (?!) to find the doors padlocked).

  • Tip Rating:
  • The Prater, the famous fairground. Granted, it's a little run-down, and the Viennese carnies are no more glamorous than the carnies back home. But it's extraordinary riding in the ferris wheel from Carol Reed's 'The Third Man' where Orson Welles delivered that vicious speech. Great movie - don't come to Vienna without watching it first!
