Vienna attractions

Vienna’s leisurely pace is an ideal setting in which to experience its attractions. It’s historical and architectural attractions include the Hofburg Imperial Palace featuring the famous Lipizzaner horses; St Stephan’s Cathedral and of course the Staatsoper - State Opera - a splendid neo-renaissance building where you can attend Vienna’s concerts in the city’s famous classical music tradition.

Art attractions and museums abound in Vienna - don’t miss the many ancient library artifacts in the Museum of Fine Arts, and be sure to pass by the Albertina, home to one of the world’s largest collections of graphic art.

While wandering the pretty, historic streets, a Vienna attraction in its own, take some time to appreciate the city’s splendid squares, particularly Maria Theresa Square with its surrounding museums and art galleries; and the Heroes’ Square. For something a little older, there are ancient Roman excavations close by the St Stephen’s Cathedral.

Kids will love a ride on the Giant Wheel located in the Prater, a playground and park that’s also part of the historical heritage of Vienna. Most of Vienna’s attraction is close by each other and easily accessible, making it effortless to see a lot in a short space of time.
