Top Tourist Attractions in Vienna
- Both literally and metaphorically, history is at the heart of Vienna.
- The city is loomed over by extravagant baroque palaces from the Habsburg Monarchy, just as Mozart's classical arias pour from contemporary cafes.
- The Innere Stadt's narrow streets snake through historic buildings, creating an authentic atmosphere that you almost expect a Vienna native-like composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart or psychologist Sigmund Freud to round a cobblestone corner and greet you with "Guten Tag." If it's the culture you're looking for, you'll find it here.
- But this city is more than music and monarchs.
- Vienna is also a great place to spend money, with independent bookstores competing with haute couture for business.
- There are many kid-friendly attractions, such as an amusement park and a world-class zoo.
- And, while many Viennese retire early at night, that doesn't mean you have to; sneak out to one of the city's Bermuda Triangle bars, or stop by one of the wine taverns that skirt the Vienna Woods.

- The innovative apartment building's construction was completed in 1985, and it is now an integral part of Vienna's cultural heritage.
Belvedere Complex
- The Belvedere, which consists of several palaces and an orangery dating from the late 17th century, is an essential part of Vienna's historical scene.
- It consists of two Baroque palaces, the Lower and Upper Belvedere, and palace stables and the Orangery, all set in a park designed in the Baroque style.

- On both sides of the Boulevard, Emperor Franz Joseph ordered the construction of many of Vienna's most prominent structures in the mid-nineteenth century: palaces, museums, and stately residences.

- The Ringstrasse was built between 1857 and 1865, with the street opening in 1865.

- The cathedral contains more than 18 altars, all built at different times and valuable works of art.
Parliament Building
- The elegant Parliament Building, located on the Ringstrasse, was built in the Greek Revival style.

- In the foreground of the structure is the magnificent Pallas Athene Fountain.
