"It's hard not to be inspired by the endless beauty of Vienna, from the spectacular Hofburg and Schönbrunn palaces filled with lavish treasures, to the stunning Lipizzan horses, and the grand concert halls that are truly alive with the sound of music."
Travel Director
Explore the exquisite Hofburg Palace
More like a tiny city, the Hofburg Palace is one of the most extraordinary places to visit in Vienna. The massive palace complex is spread over 59 acres and has been home to nearly every Austrian ruler since the 13th century. Your Local Specialist will bring the palace to life on a special tour, sharing its incredible secrets and treasures.
Enjoy views of the grand State Opera House and Ringstrasse
We’ll walk in the footsteps of Mozart and Haydn as you marvel at the Vienna State Opera House, a beautiful Renaissance Revival building. If you time it just right, you might even hear a performance going on inside the Opera House, with the high notes of the soprano ringing out over the grand Ringstrasse boulevard.
Admire the colorful roof of St. Stephen's Cathedral
One of the highlights of our sightseeing tour of Vienna, St. Stephen’s Cathedral is sure to impress. This spectacular cathedral is a blend of Gothic and Romanesque architecture, famed for its intricate tiled roof and ornate spires. It’s also one of the most important religious buildings in the country, and it’s filled with fascinating history.
Learn about the Habsburg Dynasty
You’ll be keeping up with the Habsburgs on your Vienna trip, as we dive into the incredible history of one of Europe’s most influential royal families. As you hop from museums to royal palaces, you’ll get to explore over six centuries of treasures from the House of Habsburg, including a sightseeing tour of the Habsburg's priceless royal collection of art.
Enjoy a Viennese Dinner with Musical Entertainment
We’ll reveal the heart and soul of Vienna through the delicious cuisine and traditional music of the city. As you sit down to a hearty dinner of Viennese specialties in an atmospheric restaurant, you’ll relax with a local beer or wine and enjoy a performance of Viennese music, topping off this special night in one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.
Our top 5 things to do in Vienna
We’ve got the inside scoop on all the best things to do in Vienna, from the most iconic Vienna attractions to the hidden gems of this gorgeous city.
Kunsthistorisches Museum
As you gaze up at the magnificent building, you’ll quickly understand why this Vienna museum is one of the most popular in the city. As Austria’s largest art museum, it’s filled with masterpieces by the likes of Raphael, Titian, Michelangelo and Rembrandt, while the museum interior is equally lavish, decorated with gold-leaf, marble and stucco ornaments.
Schönbrunn Palace
Once the summer residence of the Habsburgs, this 1,441-room Rococo palace is one of the most spectacular monuments in all of Austria. Set amongst manicured gardens and filled with grand treasures from all over the world (there’s even a zoo!), you’ll hear thrilling tales and secrets of royal history as you explore the rooms with your Local Specialist.
Imperial Treasury Vienna
If you’re looking for priceless treasures in Vienna, head straight to the Imperial Treasury. It’s home to wonders like the Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian Imperial Crown, Empress Elisabeth’s jewellery, the world’s largest cut emerald, precious gold and silks, and even the 8th-century Holy Lance, once thought to be the Holy Grail.
Best museums in Vienna
In a city that’s overflowing with music, art and regal history, you can’t miss the museums, and our Vienna holidays will show you around some of the city’s top institutions.
Sachertorte
Originally created in 1832 by a clever baker's apprentice for an Austrian prince, you’ll feel quite royal as you indulge in a slice of sachertorte in Vienna. This rich chocolate cake is made with thin layers of apricot jam and smothered in chocolate ganache, and sachertorte is so loved in Austria that it even has its own national day.
Erdäpfelsalat (Austrian-style Potato Salad)
The name literally translates to “earth apple salad” and this potato salad is unlike any other you’ve had before. Erdäpfelsalat is a much lighter version of potato salad, with no heavy mayonnaise, and wonderful flavors rising from the chicken broth and vinegar. You're sure to go back for seconds on your Vienna trip.
Powidltascherl (Plum Jam Turnovers)
Powidltascherl, or plum jam turnovers, are one of the most beloved recipes in Austria, and almost every family has a special recipe for this sweet treat. Made with a fruity plum spread wrapped in a fluffy potato dough, you’ll want to head straight to the nearest bakery in Vienna to try these little delights.
Best food in Vienna
When you travel Vienna with Trafalgar, you’ll be sure to get your fill of the very best Viennese cuisine, from Vienna sausages to sweet apfelstrudel and Viennese coffee.
What to pack for Vienna
![holiday tours of vienna People packing for a tour](https://www.trafalgar.com/media/f5wbs0tw/what-to-pack-874870762-1000x1000.jpg?center=0.5%2C0.5&format=webp&mode=crop&width=800&height=800&quality=80)
Formal attire
If you’d like to spend a night at the opera in one of Europe’s most splendid cities, be sure to pack an elegant outfit to match the occasion.
Austrian-German phrasebook
While the national language of Austria may be German, most Austrians speak a Bavarian dialect, and you’ll find it easier to connect with the locals after learning a few phrases.
You’re sure to be inspired by Vienna’s musical geniuses like Schubert and Strauss, so bring a pair of headphones to tap into the city’s musical legacy whenever the moment strikes.
Camera & extra SD card
Somewhere between the royal palace and the Ringstrasse, you’re sure to find your camera storage full. Bring an extra SD card so you never run out of room for your special snaps.
Comfortable walking shoes
There’s no shortage of palaces, museums, galleries and gardens to explore in Vienna, so bring your favorite pair of walking shoes to keep you on your feet.

You can take insightful tours within these phenomenal buildings to see the beautiful ceiling paintings, giant chandeliers, traditional furnishings and learn about their history. Or, visit St. Stephens Cathedral, the tallest church in Austria, and the symbol of Vienna.
Vienna’s Ringstrasse
In 2015, the Ringstrasse celebrated its 150th anniversary and the circular boulevard is perfect for an afternoon stroll. At nearly five-and-a-half kilometres long, you'll pass famous monuments, statues and buildings that were built between 1860 and 1890.

The overall experience lasts around two hours, ideal for a quick morning activity.
With over 100 museums, Vienna is a paradise for any keen history, geography, or art enthusiast. Vienna is home to an array of Jewish museums, such as the Sigmund Frued or Viktor Frankl Museums. One of the newest museums is the Albertina modern, a contemporary artistic hotspot.
Music and arts
Vienna is Austria’s capital of the music and arts. Visit the homes of composers ‘Waltz King’ Johann Strauss, F. Schubert and J. Haydn or enjoy their music at various concerts at the Musikverein, the Hofburg or the State Opera. The Museum of Fine Arts also displays the works of Dürer, Rembrandt and Rubens.
When visiting the Stadpark, you must go to the Strauss monument, a golden statue of Johann Strauss. You'll have wealth of photo opportunities – not forgetting the giant flowerbed clock that lies within the gardens.

It looks like a coffee and cake are on the cards. Stop off at multiple cafés for a mini break during your day of exploring the city. There are plenty of beautiful coffee houses with spectacular interiors, or local Viennese experiences on offer in admired places like the Café Central.

City Hall and the Austrian Parliament
Vienna’s City Hall is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. Its Gothic style makes it look like a cathedral rather than a city hall, and that’s what makes it unique.
Apart from its stunning exterior facade, you can take a free guided tour inside the building on certain days of the week.
In winter, the city hall square hosts the biggest Christmas market in Vienna, and parts of it turn into a giant ice skating rink. BEST VIENNA CHRISTMAS MARKETS GUIDE + MAP (UPDATE 2024)
Not too far from City Hall, you can see Vienna’s Parliament which is one of the most important landmarks in the city.

If you’re not visiting during springtime, there will be a lot fewer roses, but this park is still a stunning spot you must see in Vienna.
Maria-Theresien Platz and its Museums
Maria-Theresien-Platz sits between two very significant museums: the Natural History Museum and the Art History Museum .
The two buildings were constructed during the 19th century and, upon close inspection, you would notice that they are identical.
Another thing you can see in the square is Maria Theresa Monument honoring Empress Maria Theresa.

Frequently Asked Q uestions(FAQs)
To get the full Vienna experience, plan to spend at least four days in the city. Visit top museums, take a tour of the historic center, enjoy a classical concert or opera, and sample the city’s famous coffee and pastries.
Before any trip, it is always good to have some essential information. Check out these tips to be prepared for your trip to Vienna: Currency: Euro(€) Language: German Voltage: 230V Power sockets: Type F As seen above, Austria uses the Euro therefore, if you need to change currency, be aware of the exchange rates. The official language in Austria is German , and even though most people can communicate in English, it is always useful to learn a few words or phrases. Some of them are danke, meaning thank you, and bitte, meaning you’re welcome or please. Another useful tip is that in Austria, the standard voltage is 230V while the power sockets are Type F, so be sure to have the right travel adaptor.
If you prefer finding accommodation in the city center itself (which is pricier), check out the highly-rated Boutique Hotel Das Tigra (mid-range) or Boutiquehotel Das Tyrol and Hotel Kaiserhof Wien for something more upscale.
Metro in Vienna (U-Bahn) is very easy and safe to use. It might be slightly intimidating at first due to the huge amount of different lines, but once you figure it out you’ll use it all the time. Keep your Vienna metro ticket until you’ve exited the metro system at your final destination because the police might be checking your tickets inside the station.
there are ticket machines at most underground stations points of advance sale Tobacconists also sell tickets On board the tram at an increased rate of EUR 2.60 per ticket Buy tickets online: Wiener Linien Online Shop On many Metro lines, the doors to the train do not open unless you press a button or lift a handle. Remember it if you don’t want to miss your station or look funny. My tip: While taxis in Vienna are expensive, Uber & Bolt are definitely affordable and I recommend doing it at least once so you can see Viennaian streets during your ride. Just don’t try to take it to the airport as it would take longer than the train and cost you 5 times as much… on top of getting stuck in traffic for a very long time.
Vienna is one of the safest cities in the world, which makes Austria one of the best solo destinations for solo travelers.
To save money when traveling to Vienna, consider staying in a hostel or Airbnb, taking public transportation, and eating at budget-friendly restaurants.
