Sights and excursion destinations in Vienna

Sightseeing and Shopping in Vienna

27 castles and more than 150 palaces – in Vienna, there’s plenty to marvel at! Seeing everything in one go is almost impossible. The most famous sights are certainly St. Stephen’s Cathedral, Schönbrunn Palace and the Museum of Art History. A walk through the Museumsquartier (MQ) is always a great idea, too.

Eager to go shopping? The Kärntner Straße, the Graben and the Kohlmarkt are the perfect locations to find some special treasures. The most well-known shopping street, however, is the Mariahilfer Straße with its more than one hundred shops and stores. The little alleys off to the side of it are worth a quick detour as well.

A special highlight for nature lovers is the Lainzer Tiergarten! This publicly accessible wildlife preserve is located far off the city centre and part of the biosphere reserve Wienerwald. The garden is home to a large number of different types of free-roaming deer – and, hence, a true highlight for all lovers of regional animals!
