St. Stephen's Cathedral
Rathausplatz
I recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The cobblestone streets can be tough, especially if you're walking around for a while. Trust me, your feet will thank you!
Check out the Rathaus's architecture from different angles. I took some shots from across the street and they turned out fantastic. You'll appreciate the details more that way!
Maria Theresa Square
I highly recommend visiting around 9 AM when it’s less crowded. You’ll get amazing photos without tons of people in the background. Plus, the light is perfect for pictures!
I thought I’d spend just an hour, but ended up staying longer. So, plan for at least 2-3 hours to fully enjoy everything and explore the surrounding area.
I suggest bringing a light snack or picnic. There are plenty of benches to sit on, and it saves you money, compared to overpriced cafes around.
If you're into art, don't miss the Kunsthistorisches Museum right next door. I think buying a combo ticket can save you some cash.
Museum Quarter
Karlskirche
Hundertwasser House
I recommend going to Hundertwasser House during the early morning, around 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and snag some sweet photos without loads of tourists in the way.
I found that the souvenir shop can be pricy. Maybe consider snagging some postcards instead—super cute and much easier on your wallet.
Anker Clock
Church of the Vow
St. Peter's Church
Imperial Crypt
I suggest visiting on a weekday, ideally around 2 PM. It was much quieter then, and I could actually enjoy the architecture without bumping into crowds.
If you're planning to take photos, be mindful of the lighting. I found the low light conditions tricky. A good camera with decent low-light capability would help a lot.
