With less time on hand, just walk around the place to get a whiff of the culturally rich heritage of Vienna. Just to warn you, there are not much place to eat around, carry stuff with you on a Sunday. More

Schiele and Klimt displays are excellent. Get there on opening time (buy ticket on line) and shoot up to the 4th floor - you'll have the place to yourself for a bit! More
