Vienna Things to Do Tips by dinhyen

Schoenbrunn Schonbrunn Review

Address: the summer-residence of the emperor

Votivkirche at night Votivkirche - Votive Church Review

When we were there, twilight was around 10pm. Now would have been a good time to get some night-time photos. Unfortunately thanks to some hotel mix-ups and my own difficulty navigating Viennese streets, we didn't check in until 10pm, by which time I was so hungry I had to go look for dinner.

Parliamentary statuary Ringstrasse Review

Phil_uk_net has a better version of this perspective, IMHO.

Address: the buildings of the famous boulevard

Nationalbibliothek Nationalbibliothek Review

The edifice occupying one end of Heldenplatz is the Nationalbibliothek, which means of course the National Bibliothek :)

Address: Austria's National Library

Stephansdom interior Stephansdom Review

Another superb Gothic interior.

Address: St.Stephens cathedral

Rathaus facade Ringstrasse Review

Address: various museums

Schoenbrunn garden Schonbrunn Review
