Vienna, Austria Travel Guide

Imperial palaces and coffee houses

Why visit Vienna

Imperial palaces, coffee houses and the Danube meet in a capital that still feels like the 19th century’s cultural capital. Schönbrunn and the Hofburg anchor the museum quarter, while the Prater’s Ferris wheel and the Naschmarkt’s food stalls keep it modern. The coffee-house ritual is UNESCO-listed: order a Melange, take a table, and stay as long as the newspaper lasts.
