7 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.

For shopping fun, head to Vienna Naschmarkt or Graben and Kohlmarkt. Take a break from the city and head to Nationalpark Donau-Auen and Wachau Valley. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Vienna: Helenental (in Baden), Biospharenpark Wienerwald (in Tullnerbach) and Allander Tropfsteinhohle (in Alland). There's much more to do: explore the historical opulence of Schonbrunn Palace, explore the world behind art at Albertina, pause for some serene contemplation at St. Stephen's Cathedral, and get in on the family fun at Prater.
