We posted information on the top five museums here and for more details about museums and galleries in Vienna, you can visit Vienna’s official website. Whether it is Albertina or Belvedere, or Art History Museum, you will have plenty of options to spend some quality time exploring history and art in Vienna. Vienna has around 100 museums and countless galleries to visit during your stay in Vienna. They are great for walks, relaxation, and also learning about history as many have statues, fountains, and other landmarks that all tell the story. Vienna has many parks and they are scattered around the city and suburbs in a way that you will not need to walk more than 5-10 minutes to get to one. When people mention Vienna, immediate associations are the waltz, opera, Mozart, and cakes, but one thing that defines Vienna is its parks and green areas and they are all very well maintained. And what’s best than simple coffee and a piece of cake? There are cafes all around the city and we will not favor any specific one, for now, so please go and enjoy your break! 8. In between all the museums, galleries, parks, attractions, and landmarks, you need some time off to relax and get more energy for your next exploration. This is not something you put on your ‘to-do’ list, but having a coffee, and mélange with cake is something you do in Vienna, regardless of your schedule. The ride on a Ferris Wheel will be the highlight of your visit. There are also many cultural events in the summer. Coming to Prater when visiting Vienna is a must, especially in spring and summer. Prater is most famous for Giant Ferris Wheel, but there is much more to do and see there: an entertainment park with fairgrounds, bars and restaurants, an expansive park area, a planetarium, a chocolate museum, and so on. If you prefer a guided tour, try one from our affiliated program. It is also a very green area and it is pleasant to walk. There are also very different styles in the design of graves and mausolea in the cemetery, which will occupy you for hours.
