    Visited as part of a group from our river cruise .

    Firstly the building housing the museum is very grand , there was some renovation work happening but this didn’t really have an impact on us . Our tickets were pre booked on a timed entry.

    The group had a local guide but we decided to just wander off & meet later .
    There is a huge variety of art , some was lovely , some not to our taste . Nevertheless we had a good time & we’re glad we visited .

    This grand boulevard surrounds the historic center of Vienna. If you have about 1 1/2 to 2 hours you can walk around and see all the sights.

    In most cities of the world this would be the most impressive building, however as this is Vienna, it has a lot to compete with.
    Inside, the view of the dome is obscured by what seems to be some broken scaffolding, which is a bit of a shame.
    There is a good view of the church to be had by sitting across from it on the other side of the shallow pond outside.

    Super quick to visit - you only need about 20-30 min to be there. The coffins/tombs are beautiful and incredibly intricate, and there are little info guides available to read in different languages. We bought tickets ahead of time online but you can buy them in person once you get there.

    Beautiful church both outside and in, located just outside of the museum quarter past the city hall, it's well worth the walk out to it

    Really interesting museum, so much detailed information alongside the exhibits. Well worth a visit, would highly recommend. Didn’t really like that the information wasn’t laid out in chronological order so felt a bit disjointed. Overall though, very interesting, spent about an hour and a half there.

    Once the royal gardens, the Burggarten is a public park, with lots of grass and trees. As we entered, we immediately walked by the Palm House (also known as the Glass House) was built in the early 1900s. It has three sections, one used as a greenhouse, one as a butterfly house, and the middle one as a cafe. Certainly lovely to look at! On the Sunday afternoon we were there, the park was filled with families and couples sitting on the lawn, playing, sleeping, reading, eating, and people watching.We walked about to see some of the sites, notably the statue of Franz Josef I, the long-ruling Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, and the Mozart Monument, which was surrounded by people shooting selfies and group photos in front of it. We grabbed a spot on the lawn to relax and enjoy the day!

    It was fascinating to walk through Mozart's house, although the ticket desk was fairly unwelcoming. Some of the rooms were brilliant, but others seemed to wander off-topic. Fortunately with own-language self-guide consoles we could view at our own pace. The staff member handing back bags at the bag check desk was downright surly!

    The Spittelberg Quarter is a great district of this city that's just a joy to visit.
    Narrow streets ,beautiful buildings ,fantastic pubs,cafés,bars and restaurants ,the only way I can describe it is that's it's got a village feel to it in the city centre ,my twin brother Stephen and I were here over the Christmas period ,went to the cute Christmas Market here ,had a great time ,we then went to several great local pubs were we enjoyed great local beers ,all in all a great area of the city to visit if you're planning a holiday to Vienna.

    For fans of Gustav Klimt, this is worth a visit. The original cottage that Klimt rented from 1912 to 1918 is faithfully preserved as part of the larger villa. Klimt's studio provides a feel for the artist's way of working. There is no original art here, but there is a sense of history and presence that provides insight into the artist's unique style. There are also photos of lost Klimt artworks that were destroyed in a fire during WWII.

    a new location that I discovered in Viena.

    Very beautiful and quiet place. Very good for relax, but very far from the main/center of the city. So be prepared to take an hour and a half if you go by public transport and about 45 minutes if you go with your own car. Parking is public and is free.
    From the gate of the Vila you will have 15 minutes walking to the main buildings thru a a very nice forest. Comfortable shoes is a must, the path is with stone and dust/dirt.

    The coffee and the cookies from the cafeteria where average and if Sisi would have been served with them, they will all be fired or moved to horses.

    The museum is nice and at an acceptable price - 8 euro per adult.

    This oldest church in Vienna is dedicated to St Mary; it is a beautiful gothic architecture exemple and worth a visit. The altar and the stained glass works are magnificent!!

    Superb. Detailed labels on displays, in German and English, helped me appreciate Haydn's personal experiences while he was living in this house. Facsimiles of some of his manuscripts (e.g. The Seasons) enhanced the learning experience. Contemporary portraits and lithographs of Vienna circa late 1700s/early 1800s, along with some of Haydn's letters, provided a "flavor" of life in the Austrian capital during the Napoleonic Wars. A highlight is Haydn's business card -- not that he really needed one, as he was famous throughout much of Europe and England in his own lifetime. Overall, a satisfying visit and a fitting memorial to a pioneering composer. It's off the radar for most tourists, and I suspect, the place is never crowded -- I was here with only 2 other people. An easy 50-minutes visit, longer if you want to linger to soak in the quiet, reflective atmosphere. An easy stroll from the main shopping street, Mariahilferstrasse. Highly recommended for fans of Haydn's musik.

    Great museum with LOTS of information placards and exhibits located in one of the old wash rooms. Looked very, very interesting but there was on major problem - it is 100% in German. They do give you a few pages of English language information which is helpful but you are still clearly missing out on most of the extensive information. Google translate helped but that is tedious and still leave you coming up short. Still definitely worth a visit if you are interested in 20th century political history, housing or Red Vienna. Just be aware. Also, when I visited they weren't accepting cash payment so best to have cash with you.

    We purchased the ticket which included the Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments, and Silver Collection, and I wish we could have bought only the Imperial Apartment tour. This is the only one worth the time and money. If you go during summer, you will be very hot in this place. Still no pictures allowed, so that they can sell you postcards at the end. Nickel and dimmers be damned!
