Your Free Vienna Travel Guide

Austria · April–May or September–October

Vienna carries its imperial past lightly — the Ringstrasse palaces and the Habsburg art collections are world-class, but the city is also a living, breathing metropolis with a contemporary art scene and a coffee house culture that UNESCO has deemed part of intangible world heritage. Spend a morning in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an afternoon in a Kaffeehaus with a Sachertorte, and an evening at the Staatsoper.
