Hofburg: Stately & imperial palaces from Franz Jospeh's era
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The New Burg wing of the Hofburg complex which was the winter residence of the Habsburg emperors.

    This particular building is infamous because Hitler made a famous speech from the balconies.

    museums: Art History Museum (Kunsthistorisches Museum)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Vienna museums
  • more imperial architecture

  • Favorite Thing: Another grand 19th century building. Unfortunately, on this trip we did not have time to venture inside. But one must imagine that given its setting in the city of arts it must be filled with plenty of treasures.

    Belvedere: Belvedere
  • Tip Rating:
  • Vienna Belvedere
  • impressive chateau
  • by zrim
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: A palace built by a victorious warlord, Prince Eugene of Savoy. Later owned by the unfortunate Archduke Francis Ferdinand.

    The gardens looking towards the central part of Vienna look lovely, but nothing was in bloom because we were there in mid-October.

    Stephansdom: St. Stephen's Cathedral
  • Tip Rating:
  • Vienna Stephansdom
  • a portion of St. Stephen's
  • by zrim
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Favorite Thing: St. Stephen's is hands down the largest cathedral I have ever seen. It is impossible to get the whole structure into on picture frame.

    The interior is dark and very gothic with impressive stained glass windows. It was way too dark inside to even think about a photo without the use of a tripod.

    Oper / Staatsoper: State Opera House
  • Tip Rating:
  • Favorite Thing: The pride of the Vienna aristocracy. Built in the 1860s. Lavish and ornate interior. Must have been something to catch a performance here back in the day.
