29 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.

Step out of the city life by going to Wachau Valley and Erlaufschlucht. For shopping fun, head to Vinatrium Gebietsvinothek or Music Mile. Change things up with these side-trips from Vienna: Melk Abbey (in Melk), Graz (Landeszeughaus & Altstadt von Graz) and Krems an der Donau (Katholic Pfarrkirche Hl. Nikolaus & Dominikanerkirche). And it doesn't end there: look for all kinds of wild species at WWF Stork Sanctuary, step into the grandiose world of Burgruine Duernstein, admire the masterpieces at Leopold Museum, and awaken your taste buds at some of the top wineries in the area.
