Top places to visit

1. Schönbrunn Palace

The Hofburg Palace, in central Vienna, may have been the imperial showcase for the capital. But the imperial family's summer home of choice was the Schönbrunn Palace (Schloss Schönbrunn). It may be a little smaller – with a mere 1,400 rooms – but it certainly had the location. When first built, it sat in the rolling fields beyond the city, in its own vast island of formal gardens and idyllic parkland.

2. Vienna State Opera

The Vienna State Opera is a must-see. For the Viennese, opera is in the blood. In the 17th century, the imperial court was one of the most enthusiastic embracers of this new Italian art form. Later, the musical genius of Mozart was played out here in Vienna, breathing new life into German opera. So it's no surprise that the capital city has four major opera houses – foremost among them is the Vienna State Opera.

3. St. Stephen's Cathedral

Commanding the heart of the Inner Stadt, St Stephen's Cathedral rises from the centre of Vienna like a ghostly reminder of the medieval city that once spread around it. With its frosted-white Gothic tower soaring 136 metres into the sky and its vibrant zigzag tiled roof featuring the Habsburg double-headed eagle, it's an unmistakeable icon of the capital. And with a history stretching back to Roman times, every brick, tile and statue has a tale to tell about this imperial city.

4. Hofburg Imperial Palace

The Hofburg Imperial Palace, the vast winter residence of the Habsburg Emperors has 18 residential wings, 2,600 rooms, two museums, an Imperial Library, a riding school, theatre and even a treasury. This is a location with something for everyone, and much more besides.

5. Stephansplatz

6. Belvedere

Once a general's palace, now a temple to the arts, Vienna's Belvedere has had a fascinating history. It was called a “Baroque wonder of Europe” when it was first built in 1722 and became one of the first public art museums in Europe in 1781. And, as well as being the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy – the finest military commander of the Austrian Empire – it also became the home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand just before his assassination, which sparked the First World War.

7. Prater

The Weiner Prater is an amusement park with a serious pedigree, which has been dishing out fun to the Viennese for over a century. Most of Vienna's must-visit attractions lie on the west side of the Danube, where the Inner Stadt puts down its roots. But at the east bank’s Weiner Prater, culture and art are put to one side and visitors are treated to a large dollop of fun.
