Vienna - history monuments
 

Hey,
I'm visiting Vienna for 4 days at the end of November, and we'll have 2/3 full days to spend in the city. I'm going with my cousins and a friend who is the same sort of age (she's 19, I'm 18).

We're not interested in nights out or anything like that...it's mostly the history! Feel free to suggest anything you think is worth a visit, though. Anyway, we're stopping at a hotel right in the main centre (near a big cathedral, I think?) but since we've never been before we're looking for some advice as to where we should visit. We were wondering if we could emulate tours, like this one https://www.viennasightseeing.at/en/hop-on-hop-off/ on our own, so we dont have to pay the agency their fee for the tour :D. Anyone did this already (just like saw what the agency offers and then made his own tour with the help of lord Google :D).


It would be much appreciated Thank you.

Buy a guide book, it's not going to break the bank is it?

Be sure to spend AT LEAST 1 full day in the military museum of the Austro-Hungarian Empire; I spent 2 days there.

I think this will depend what you're into? As a Classical Musician, I loved visiting Mozart's Vienna house. Seeing where Don Giovani came together was great! Others would have found this dull!

If you don't fancy a guid book (I like the DK visual guides), then an Internet search for Vienna tourism would be good!

Before you go watch the film The Third Man, an excellent piece of work, then treat yourself to a ride on the Riesenrad (the Giant Ferris Wheel). If you enjoy the film to such an extent you wish to tour the sewers, have a look here: https://www.wien.info/en/sightseeing...ides/third-man
