Vienna blends imperial grandeur with contemporary creativity, offering everything from baroque palaces and world-class museums to quirky neighbourhood markets and architectural oddities. These travel guides help you navigate Austria’s elegant capital with practical advice on the major attractions — including ticket price guides for St Stephen’s Cathedral and what to see at the Belvedere Palace — alongside recommendations for more unusual experiences like Vienna’s Museum of Art Fakes, which tells the fascinating stories behind history’s greatest art forgeries. You’ll also find neighbourhood guides to areas like Leopoldstadt, home to the iconic Wiener Riesenrad ferris wheel in the Prater.

The Naschmarkt might become your favourite spot in Vienna — a vibrant food market that captures the city’s multicultural character — whilst Hundertwasserhaus showcases Vienna’s more eccentric architectural side. Beyond the city itself, these guides provide essential transport information for travelling from Vienna to Ljubljana, Vienna to Salzburg, and other key connections, helping you understand whether direct trains, indirect trains, or buses make most sense for your itinerary. Whether you’re planning a first visit or returning to explore deeper, these articles combine practical planning details with the sort of honest insights that help you discover what makes Vienna genuinely special. More Vienna travel stories will be added soon.
