The great empress, Maria Theresa, would scoff at the idea of tackling her beloved city in just 1 day -- or even 3 days. But what did she know, really?
If that is all the time you have, we want to help you make the most of it by providing ready-made itineraries that allow you to have a complete, unforgettable trip.
Part of the joy of visiting any great city of Europe is your own discoveries -- darting down that little cobblestone lane to some antique curio shop or dropping in for a pint of beer at a local Viennese tavern.
We would be less than honest if we didn't admit that the discovery of Vienna in just a few days is a formidable challenge. The city is like a grande dame, who won't reveal all her treasures to you easily.
To fortify yourself for the day, we'd recommend an old-fashioned Viennese breakfast, often a generous buffet at your hotel. Naturally, you will want to sample some renown Viennese pastries. The morning meal might be so filling that you won't need to take up a lot of precious time having a long, drawn-out lunch. Save that for the evening when many of the major attractions of Vienna are closed.
