Landmarks
TODO — what landmarks in Vienna are actually worth the time.
6 placesSt Stephen's Cathedral
A tiled roof of a quarter of a million glazed tiles, a tower you climb by 343 steps, and catacombs full of Habsburg organs.
Schönbrunn Palace
Fourteen hundred rooms of Habsburg summer residence, a garden you can walk for free, and the oldest zoo in the world.
The Hofburg
The Habsburgs' winter residence for six centuries, now holding the Sisi Museum, the imperial silver and the crown jewels.
The Belvedere
Two Baroque palaces on a slope, with Klimt's Kiss in the upper one and the best view of Vienna's skyline from between them.
Vienna State Opera
Three hundred performances a year, standing tickets for the price of a coffee, and a building the Emperor's opinion nearly killed its architect over.
Karlskirche
A Baroque church with two Trajan-style columns and, for now, a lift that puts you within touching distance of the dome fresco.
