One of my favourite restaurants. Great typical Austrian food in very good quality, great wine selection, still not too expensive and not too touristy. Booking in advance may be necessary.

The D'strict in the Ritz Carlton is my favourite Steak house in Vienna. Amazin food and wine variety but a pit on the pricy side. There is also a great cocktail lounge in the ground floor and a rooftop bar!

Just walk around 3 floors under ground and be amazed by the hundreds of years old catacombs of Vienna. Don't eat here! - the food's not recommendable...

If you're interested in the history of Vienna without spending too much time on it - this is a really great 5D (3D cinema including wind, movement...) show where you find out about Vienna's history in ca. 1-2 hours. It ends with a simulation of an air raid in a bunker in WW II

If you don't have the time to go and see the Schönbrunn castle at least take the time to visit the Belvedere castle which is the former castle of Prince Eugen, the defender of Vienna against the Turkish troops during 1683. It's now housing some of the greatest collections of art of Vienna (and the world). E.g. some of the prominent Klimt pictures.

Don't miss out on the Schönbrunn castle. The guided tour inside the castle is great, the garden is amazing (tip: walk up to the gloriette and overlook a part of Vienna) and the zoo (being the world's oldest zoo) is also great!

Located at the very heart of Vienna, you won't be able to miss the Stephansdom (St. Stephens cathedral or "Steffl", as the locals call it). There are nice guided walking tours where you can see the catacombs underneath and take a lift up the rooftop - great!

If you have 1/2 day extra time and want to escape the city come here. This place resembles the Habsburg family's hunting refuge and the Hermesvilla (which is basically a castle) is also where Empress Elisabeth also renowned as Sissi spent a lot of her time... In the park you can hike for several hours and meet deer and wild hogs...
