Vienna in 3 days

Vienna is arranged in rings: imperial centre inside the Ring, palaces and museums outside it. Schönbrunn gets its own day because it is far from the centre and fills half a day by itself.

The dashed line shows the order of stops, not the path through the streets: the street-level route is built in the app, on foot or by car.

Day 1

The inner city

St Stephen's Cathedral, the courtyards of the Hofburg, the Albertina and the Opera — all within a kilometre, a whole day inside the Ring. The Opera is worth a tour even without an evening ticket.

  1. 1Saint Stephen's CathedralPlace of worship≈ 50 min
  2. 2Hofburg PalacePalace≈ 120 min
  3. 3AlbertinaMuseum≈ 90 min
  4. 4Vienna State OperaTheatre≈ 60 min
Day 2

Schönbrunn

Schönbrunn sits outside the centre, reached on the U4. The palace and its park take half a day, and the way back can stop at the Naschmarkt: the market is on the same line, and in the evening people eat there rather than buy vegetables.

  1. 1Schonbrunn PalacePalace≈ 180 min
  2. 2NaschmarktShopping≈ 50 min
Day 3

Museums and the Belvedere

The Kunsthistorisches Museum and the MuseumsQuartier face each other — half a day of painting. Then the Karlskirche and the Upper Belvedere with Klimt's Kiss: about a kilometre from church to palace.

  1. 1Museum of Art HistoryMuseum≈ 120 min
  2. 2MuseumsQuartierGallery≈ 75 min
  3. 3KarlskirchePlace of worship≈ 40 min
  4. 4Upper BelvedereMuseum≈ 100 min
