    Review of: Schönbrunn Palace
    Beautiful palace
    The palace is beautiful! We ordered tickets online for the Classic Plus tour, because we wanted to visit the zoo and gardens as well. The palace entrance is an easy walk from the metro, and we walked around the gardens, the fountain, and the Gloriette before going into the palace itself. The audioguide was very good, and the tour was the perfect length - not too long. Highly recommend a visit!

    Review of: Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna
    Worth the visit and budget friendly!
    The museum had three themes which was a very good way to experience three different themes in a single museum. The pieces were beautiful and the museum itself was just mesmerizing.
    I would say it’s worth the visit and it must be one of the best and classi experiences you can get at a museum in Vienna.

    Review of: Historic Center of Vienna
    History In Architecture
    Without question Vienna isn't just about the waltz.

    The architecture is stunning and kept clean.

    Yes it is like a lot of cities, a city, but Vienna seemed to have a Vienna feel about it. A feel I cannot describe but it felt different.

    Tour guides bring history into the open which really is a must.

    Thank you Vienna

    Review of: Tiergarten Schoenbrunn - Zoo Vienna
    Nice experience
    This is a lovely zoo on the grounds of Schonbrunn Palace. There are a lot of areas to see, including a really nice forested walk that ends in a beautiful viewpoint of the city. There are a lot of spots for kids, including a large playground next to a petting zoo. There is a good variety of animals, along with several places to eat. You could easily spend half a day here.

    Review of: Albertina
    Centrally Located
    This was a great museum to visit. Not too big that you'll get lost, but just big enough to satisfy all art lovers. We went to see the exhibition of Munch, but were pleasantly surprised by the extensive, colorful collection of the other artists. Worth spending a few hours.

    Review of: The Hofburg
    What Architecture!
    This building is so imposing, although there are many wonderful buildings in Vienna this one for me is the grandest.

    It gets very busy so when you go make sure you get a guide because there is so much to see and be said.

    Decor, paintings, architecture, museums, the list goes on.

    Thank you Team Hofburg

    Review of: Natural History Museum (Naturhistorisches Museum)
    A natural hit!
    We visited this museum in August 2022. While not world class I would say that this museum of natural history is well worth a visit.

    Set out over two levels the museum is jam-packed with a very nice collection of exhibits and items of interactivity for kids.

    I would expect to be entertained here for at least 1.5hrs or longer as you wander your way through.

    If visiting during summer, bring something to fan yourself as it’s not air conditioned.

    I felt it was worth the price of admission.

    Review of: Wiener Staatsoper
    Queued for standing tickets
    Our trip to Vienna was fairly last minute so no time to pre-book opera tickets before arrival. We're certainly not opera buffs anyway but love the cultural experience of visiting iconic places such as the Mariinsky & Verona Arena & of course the Vienna State Opera.

    So the only way to get tickets was to queue for standing ones. We popped into the box office in the morning to get the low down of what to do. A very helpful girl told us where we would need to queue & that the doors opened to purchase at 5,30pm but it was advisable to get there at least an hour before, preferably an hour & a half & to bring something like a scarf to mark place,

    Armed with a cloth bag, a tea towel, water & a "traveller" (rum & cokes in cooler cups) we arrived at 4.30pm to find we were 3rd in the queue. In fact the queue didn't grow massively whether that was due to the really hot weather or the opera, Capriccio, I don't know. Anyway the time went quickly & it was a very convivial atmosphere chatting with the other people in the queue who were mostly real opera buffs & told us a bit about the performance we would be seeing & the best options for standing (apparently upstairs for better acoustics or downstairs for better views).

    At 5,30 pm doors opened & we were able to buy our tickets. 10 euros each cash only. We were then taken around to some stairs were we had to queue again in pairs, all quite regimented before eventually being allowed into the standing area. We found ourselves right at the front with fabulous views. We tied our teatowel & cloth bag to mark our place & were then free to explore the Opera House, even being allowed to try out the proper seats. The bars were reasonably priced too.

    The performance started at 7pm & each seat & standing area has a small screen for subtitles. Any idea of leaving at the interval if we were tired/bored was scuppered as there is no interval in Capriccio. That said we really enjoyed it. The sets & costumes are wonderful the opera itself is actually very funny in places & the final aria very moving. You don't need to look at the subtitles the whole time as it is easy to get the gist of what is going on. We had a fabulous evening & so glad that we"d gone.

    Fnal couple of points, there is no strict dress code but they don't allow men in shorts, it is a very long time to stand but we managed it at 65 & 68 & there will be ticket touts while you're queuing who'll try & sell you 14 euro tickets for 30 euros, please don't encourage them.

    Review of: St. Stephen's Cathedral
    Impressive size, less thrilling interior
    Even as an atheist, I appreciate medieval churches. But this one has less interior art than most. On the plus side, it is free to see.

    Review of: Leopold Museum
    Intriguing Museum
    This was a surprising stop and definitely worth visiting. Here are impressionistic works of art from painters I’d never heard of. Additionally, rooms of architectural furniture are interesting in their own right. Located on the outskirts of Central Vienna, it’s found in an area called the Museum District, so there are other minor places to visit besides this stop.

    Review of: Rathaus
    Not your average town Hall!
    In a city of amazing buildings this one is certainly one of the most beautiful. Vienna has so many great sites to see one can become a little complacent but this one really takes your breath away.

    It is absolutely huge and the architecture stunning. Get your cameras ready as you will definitely want some photos of this one.

    Despite the bombings during the war it is still in excellent condition and really well maintained.

    Different than most townhomes I am used to seeing!

    Review of: State Hall of the Austrian National Library
    Breathtaking Building
    Wow, what an amazing library! This place is a must see while in Vienna. Pictures do not do the place justice; you have to see it for yourself. When we went there it wasn’t too crowded, lots of great photo opportunities (even if you had to wait for “influencers” to take their 100 photos). One of the prettiest buildings I have ever seen.

    Review of: Peterskirche
    Gorgeous Church
    Peterskirche was my favorite church in Vienna. Beautiful baroque design with so many lovely details. While we were there, we spoke to one of the pastors who was very kind and took his time to explain some of the symbolisms inside. A must see while in Vienna.

    Great Museum
    My boyfriend and I spent a little over an hour at this museum, I really enjoyed it, thought it was just the right size with a nice variety of objects to see. I especially enjoyed some of the jewels, so impressive!
