33 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.

Venture out of the city with trips to Museum of the Battle of Wagram 1809 (in Deutsch Wagram), Art Brut Center Gugging (in Klosterneuburg) and Melk (Stadtpfarrkirche Maria Himmelfahrt & Melk Abbey). There's still lots to do: admire the striking features of Schonbrunn Palace, browse the eclectic array of goods at Vienna Naschmarkt, don't miss a visit to St. Stephen's Cathedral, and explore the world behind art at Belvedere Palace.
