Vienna is the grandest small city in Europe — Habsburg palaces, world-class galleries and a café culture that treats sitting for three hours as a civic right.
Where to stay
The 1st district puts you inside the Ring, walking distance to everything, but the 7th (Neubau) is where the best bars, boutiques and coffee shops actually live.
How to get there
Fly into Vienna (VIE) direct from London in 2h20. The CAT train reaches the centre in 16 minutes; the S-Bahn costs a third and takes 25.
Don't miss
A morning at the Belvedere for Klimt's The Kiss, an afternoon slice of Sachertorte at Café Central, and standing-room tickets at the Staatsoper for €10.
Highlights
- Schönbrunn Palace
- Belvedere & Klimt
