5 days in Vienna Itinerary

The cultural, economic, and political center of the country, Vienna has developed from its early Celtic and Roman roots into a medieval and Baroque city, with an old town that was designated a World Heritage Site in 2001.

Popular historic sites such as Melk Abbey and Historic Center of Vienna are in your itinerary. Discover out-of-the-way places like Leopold Museum and Kaiserliche Schatzkammer Wien. Venture out of the city with trips to Wachau Valley (in Joching), Winzer Krems (in Krems an der Donau) and Johannesbachklamm (in Wurflach). And it doesn't end there: wander the streets of Graben and Kohlmarkt, browse the eclectic array of goods at Vienna Naschmarkt, look for gifts at BahnhofCity Wien West, and see the interesting displays at Sisi Museum.
