Marveling at Stephansdom Gothic Masterpiece The most beloved structure in Vienna is the Gothic masterpiece Stephansdom, at the heart of the city. Ascend the 343 steps to the top of the south tower for panoramic views over the Innere Stadt’s rooftops – well worth the effort. |
|
 |
Mozarthaus Given a thorough polishing for the Mozart anniversary in 2006, Mozarthaus Vienna is the residence the great composer spent 2½ happy and productive years and is now the city’s premier Mozart attraction with an exhibition concentrating on the life and times of Mozart in Vienna, a period of 10 years. |

Volksoper (People’s Opera) The Volksoper (People’s Opera) features plenty of kitsch operettas, dance performances, musicals and a handful of operas with standing tickets going from as little as €1, and like many venues, great deals are to be had 30 minutes before performances. |
|
 |
Clubbing at Roxy A seminal club for years, Roxy still manages to run with the clubbing pack, and sometimes lead the way. DJs from Vienna’s electronica scene regularly guest on the turntables and most nights it can get pretty busy on the dance floor. Expect a crowded, but very good, night out here. |
|
 |
Good vibe at Rhiz With exposed brick walls that breathe the vibe and morph with the crowd, Rhiz is one bar you can easily grow to love. Situated in the vaulting of the overground, with friendly staff, a large outdoor area and electronic music. |

Top schnitzels experience Vienna would simply be a little less without Figlmüller. This famous Beisl has some of the biggest – and best – schnitzels in the business, and everyone knows it. The décor might be too contrived for some, but all in it’s an enjoyable experience. |

 |
Griechenbeisl guesthouse As the oldest guesthouse in Vienna (1447), and once frequented by Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms, Griechenbeisl is still a lovely haunt with vaulted rooms and age-old paneling. Every classic Viennese dish is on the menu, and in summer the plant-fringed front garden is the best place to be. |
|
 |
Naschmarkt Vienna’s biggest and boldest food market Naschmarkt is a foodie’s dream come true. There are a wide variety of restaurants, including a deli and the Indian Pavilion. A great way to fill up and see a piece of the real Vienna. |
