The beautiful city of Austria’s capital, Vienna, intertwined with music and art, boasts magnificent buildings from its deep-rooted past, and parks and parks brought by a high standard of living. It is a must-see place while traveling Central Europe, especially its gardens.. Vienna, which is my first experience abroad where I had the opportunity to study and live for a year with the Erasmus student exchange program, is very special for me in this sense, and since I went many times later, I think I know the city well.. That’s why, in this article, where I created a list of Vienna places to visit, I will try to help you make a Vienna travel plan.

I explained the must-sees by grouping them according to their locations on the map, especially since those in the center are within walking distance of each other, they can be visited in a different order than I described.. That’s why I added the Google Maps link to the beginning of each group and also specified the transportation information by public transportation.. I marked with (*) what I think are must seefor those with limited time. At the end of the article you will find the Vienna metro map and the illustrated tourist map.

Before we begin, let me remind you that students have discounted admission to most of Vienna’s must-sees and events, including classical music concerts.. Therefore, if you are a student, I recommend you take your student ID card with you and try your luck.. They rarely say “only for students in European Union countries” and turn it down, but mostly there is no problem with the discount.. Also, do not forget that in touristic cities such as Vienna, you need to arrange a place to stay immediately after purchasing your flight ticket and finalizing your trip..

So let’s get started Google maps links may not open on the phone due to a technical problem, if you have the opportunity to read the article on the computer you open it from there.

Places to Visit in Vienna: GROUP 1

Google maps link

• Stephansdom (St. Stephen’s Cathedral) *

Stephansdom and Stephansplatz, the square where it is located, is the heart of Vienna and its most famous place, so it’s good to start here.. The cathedral is such an iconic building that you will see it on all Vienna souvenirs, even the back of the Austrian euro cents Stephansdom.

Vienna St. Stephen’s Cathedral and Square

St. Stephen’s Cathedral If you want more than just touring around it, buy a ticket and go inside. you can visit. The ticket that covers the whole is 20 Euros.

For those of you who like to watch cities from above, you can take the elevator to the South Tower of the cathedral and watch the magnificent view of Vienna.. You can go to Steffl by purchasing a ticket for 5 Euros.. Of course, you need to be confident in your fitness for climbing stairs; because you will have to climb over 300 steps to reach the view.

Except the South Tower, the other parts included in the 20 Euro ticket are inside the cathedral, skeletal tombs called catacombs. The section where it is located is the North Tower and the treasury.

Even if you don’t go inside the cathedral, it is a must to tour around and take lots of photos, I think you will especially like its mosaic-covered roof.. Of course, it can be a little difficult to fit the cathedral into the photo frame, here is the South Tower, which I just said.. Afterwards, especially if the weather is nice, cafes, restaurants and shops await you at Stephansplatz

By the way, when pronouncing the word Stephansdom, start with the letter ş, in German ‘ When the letters st’ come together, they are read as ‘st’ (usually).

Of course, there is a metro station bearing its own name for the place I call the heart of Vienna, U1 or U3. You can get off at the Stephansplatz stop of the lines.

• Mozarthaus (Mozart House)

If you have been to Austria before and heard from those who did, “How many houses does this Mozart have?” You may be surprised, but as in Salzburg, there is also the house of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in Vienna.. In fact, there were even more, because Mozart changed countless houses in Vienna, but the others were somehow destroyed and could not survive to the present day.

In this house, which has survived until today, Mozart is with 1784. He lived between 1787 and spent perhaps the most productive times of his life and composed many compositions.. The address of the house is Domgasse 5 and it is in a very central location, a few minutes’ walk from Stephansdom.

Wandering inside the Mozarthaus is especially interesting for travelers with children and classical music like me. It can be a nice experience for those who hear. Adult ticket is 11 Euro, child/youth ticket for 18 years and younger is 4.50 Euro and student ticket is 9 Euro. Visiting hours are from 10:00 to 19:00 every day. If you are not interested, you can skip it completely, because the view from the outside of the house is quite ordinary.

The street where the Mozart house in Vienna is located

• Graben & Pestsäule (Graben & Plague column – Graben Street and Plague Column) *

Europe’s big cities are a famous ‘shopping street’ where mostly luxury brands are located, here is Graben, Vienna’s shopping street. Many shops and shops on Graben Street, which goes from Stephansdom to Hofburg Palace, will make those who want to shop as well as those who just want to stroll around by watching the windows.. Because no matter day or night, Graben Street is always lively.

The most important point of Graben is the Pests
located in the middle of Graben. strong>äule). The column, which was built in memory of those who suffered from the plague epidemic in 1679, was completed in 1693.. Of course, there is a sad connection between the fact that the monument was built here because the plague people were buried under this street in those years.. Note: I mentioned ‘dotted a’ in my Munich Places to Visit article; Like here, when a u comes after it, it is pronounced as ‘oy’.. We also read the letter S as z in German, and our pronunciation is Pestzoyle.

Vienna’s most luxurious street, Graben and Plague Column

• Peterskirche (St.. Peter’s Church)

The oldest church in Vienna, St. Peter’s Church was built according to baroque architecture. The beauty of the inside of the church, which looks quite ordinary from the outside, is a good surprise. It’s good to go and have a look.. It becomes the church with a green dome.

• Ankeruhr (Anker clock)

The clock built on a structure like a bridge between two buildings of Anker insurance company. A different figure crosses the bridge every hour, and the parade of famous characters takes place at 12 o’clock.

• Judenplatz (Jewish Square) – Jewish Quarter)✡

Judenplatz has been in the middle of the Jewish community in Vienna since the middle ages. a neighborhood (or district, we might say). In the early days, a synagogue, bath, school and hospital were built for the Jews who settled in the region, so more Jews started to come here and the population gradually increased, and over time, all the inhabitants became Jews.

The reason why I mentioned this place among the places to visit in Vienna is that it gives the opportunity to learn the history of Jewish settlement of the Jews in Austria, especially with the Judisches Museum (Jüdisches Museum – Jewish Museum).. Museum ticket price adult 12 Euro, student 8 Euro, over 65 Euro 10, under 18 free. It can be visited every day from 10:00 to 17:00 except Friday and until 14:00 on Fridays.

Also, Judenplatz, World War II They built a monument for approximately 65,000 Austrian Jews who lost their lives in the Holocaust in the years , and you can see this place if you go (Judenplatz Denkmal – Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial). The monument, which looks like a closed box, was completed in 2000, 5 years before the monument in Berlin, which is the first thing that comes to mind when everyone thinks of the ‘genocide monument’.

The letter j in German is y. Since it is pronounced as Yudinplatz, the name of this place is pronounced as Yudinplatz.

• BONUS

I also recommend you to stop by Schwedenplatz along Vienna’s canal while you’re around this area.. This is a lively area populated by young people, thanks to the availability of both pub-style venues and cheap delicacies such as doner kebab, sliced ​​pizza and McDonald’s (it’s also open until late), so if you’re looking for cheap food alternatives in Vienna, don’t go hungry. head to the nearest Schwedenplatz.

To go directly to Schwedenplatz, which is 7-8 minutes’ walk from Stephansplatz, which I call the heart of Vienna, take the U1 or U4 lines of the subway to Schwedenplatz. You can get off at the stop. For lovers, Hard Rock Cafe Vienna is also located in this area.

Cafe pubs and cheap eats around Schwedenplatz There are alternatives.

Places to Visit in Vienna: GROUP 2

Google maps link

What I said under the first group and what I will tell now in this group are actually very close, I thought one of them above that square and the other below, by centered on Stephansplatz.. That’s why you can combine these two groups easily, and if you are planning a quick trip through the must see places that I have starred, it is possible to finish them both in one day.

• Hofburg Wien (Hofburg Palace – Hofburg Palace) *

13. Hofburg Palace, the construction of which began in the 19th century and has been constantly expanding over the centuries, hosted many noble families, especially the Habsburg Dynasty, and was mostly used as the winter palace of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.. Today, it serves as a state building and a museum.

If we look at how to get to the Hofburg Palace, we can walk around Stephansplatz, which I just explained in the previous group. possible to reach. If you’re coming directly by metro, the Herrengasse stop on the U3 line is closer, but the Stephansplatz stop is a 7 – 8 minute walk away.

Take a tour around the palace; The square at the front is Heldenplatz (Heroes Square), and the back with the phaetons is Michealerplatz (St Micheal Square).. Seeing horse-drawn carriages in the heart of Europe, together with the palace, takes you back centuries

The list of places to visit in Vienna is long, so more here I’m not going into details, I just touched on it briefly because it’s on our route.. I explained the Hofburg, Schönbrunn and Belvedere Palaces in detail in my VIENNA PALACES article, read it

The Vienna Hofburg Palace is among the must-sees.

• Spanische Hofreitschule (Vienna Spanish Riding School – Spanish Riding School)

The riding school in the courtyard of the Hofburg Palace has the distinction of being the only place in the world that has kept this tradition alive with its riding course for Lipizzan horses for 450 years.. What interests us more is the presentation of shows with horses and traditional costumes.. You can view the program of the shows here and get tickets if you are interested.

• Volksgarten (People’s Garden)

When you plunge into the first greenery in front of you after touring around the Hofburg Palace, it is highly likely that this is the Volksgarten  Because this garden is actually considered a part of the Hofburg Palace courtyard.

The most interesting part of Volksgarten, which includes statues and fountains, will be the rose garden section called Rosengarten for those who come in the summer months.. Colorful roses in more than 200 varieties are candidates to blow your mind.

• Burggarten (Palace Garden)

Speaking of Vienna gardens, we continue with Burggarten, another ‘garten’ right next to Volksgarten. It is obvious that Vienna, which has been ranked first in the list of ‘the most livable cities in the world’ for years, according to many sources, owes this to its huge parks and gardens.

What you must see in Burggarten the thing is a statue of a musician. If I were to ask which musician it was, I think you would never guess If that’s the case, let me tell you, Mozart! (Oh, how surprised you are)

My eyeballs took the shape of a heart when I realized that the red flowers planted on the grass in front of the statue were in the shape of a left key Burgring to Burggarten to find the Mozart statue I mentioned street or search for Mozartdenkmal on the map.

Mozart statue in Burggarten and left in front of it A great summary of Vienna, the key city of music.

If you’ve seen the columned building reached by stairs at the end of the park, the cafe named Palmenhaus (Palm House)– you came to the restaurant. If you want to see this pleasant environment decorated with greenery but don’t want to spend a lot of money, the drink menu is for you, long live jackal I have added the price menu here. Those who say ‘price is not that important’ can also click on the lunch-dinner options on the page that opens.

The cafe, which is located at the intersection of Burggarten, Hofburg Palace and Albertina Museum, is very popular, so I hope you don’t come across a rush hour and turn away from the door.

• Schmetterlingshaus (House of Butterflies)

The half circle glass top right next to the Palm House and the butterfly logo on the door is the Butterfly House.. The ticket price of the garden, which I think will attract the attention of families with children or those who like to photograph butterflies in close-up (macro) mode, is 7 Euro, 4 Euro for children from 3 to school age and 5.50 Euro for students up to 26 years old.. The garden, which opens at 10:00 in the morning, changes according to the season, but usually closes around 16:00.

• Albertina Museum

The Albertina Museum, located on the corner of the Hofburg Palace towards the Opera House, is Vienna’s one of the most important art museums. The museum, which has a wide collection of drawings, woodcuts, and lithographs, is free to enter under the age of 19, 8.50 Euros for students up to the age of 26, and 12.90 Euros for the regular entrance ticket.. Normally it is open from 10:00 to 18:00, but it can be visited until 21:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays.

• Kärntner Strasse (Kärntner Caddesi)

Kärtner Strasse with a similar concept to the shopping street I described as Graben strong>‘ (pronounced as Kertner Ştrase) contains beautiful shops, cafes and restaurants. The street stretching from the Stephansplatz square, which we call the heart of Vienna, to the Opera House, is worth a tour with its street performers and various buildings on both sides, even if you are not going to shop.. If you follow the order I described, you can reach the Albertina Museum by a short walk.. The most famous traditional Viennese coffee houses, which I described in the article WHERE TO EAT IN VIENNA, are usually located around these places, you can take a delicious break in the closest one when you get tired.. You will find the exact addresses and other information of the cafes in that article.

Street artists make the main streets in the center of Vienna even more beautiful like Kärtner and Graben .

• Wiener Staatsoper (Opera House) *

The Vienna State Opera, which opened its doors in 1869 with Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni, is considered one of the most famous opera houses in the world.. Likewise, the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, which gives concerts here frequently, is one of the best orchestral groups in the world.. The building, which was bombed and destroyed in the Second World War, was fortunately restored afterwards.

I have a lot of sentences starting with ‘the world’s’ but I need to use it once again. ; You can buy tickets to one of the events at the Vienna Opera House to watch the world’s most famous operas in a world-famous hall.. The event program is here, tickets are sold by people in costumes in many parts of the city, or you can go and buy them at the door.

If you want to see it like me, but ticket prices are burning your pocket, they offered a different alternative. ; “standing room tickets”. You have the chance to watch the event standing by paying only a few Euros at the box office named standing room box, which you will reach by entering the building from Operngasse street, 80 minutes before the start time of the event.. Of course, you are far from the stage and standing still is exhausting, but in terms of experience, it was one of the most enjoyable activities I did in Vienna as a student.

Finally, not watching a concert but only opera. There is a guided tour option for those who want to visit the Vienna opera house, its price is 9 Euros and for students 4 Euros. You can choose one of the options to walk from one of the tram lines that go to that direction, or to get off at the Karlsplatz stop at the intersection of the U1, U2 and U4 lines of the metro.

Vienna Opera House.. The interior is more magnificent, I visited 10 years ago and even went to a concert, but I couldn’t take a single decent photo.

Places to Visit in Vienna: GROUP 3

Google maps link

Since we are still in the center, what I will tell in this group is very close to the previous ones, except for the Sigmund Freud Museum.. I thought as we are going to the other side of the gardens I described as Volksgarten and Burggarten, they can be combined in different ways and can be visited in the same day.

• Museumsquartier (Museums Square – Museums district) *

Museumsquartier or MQ for short, museum and museum square of 60 thousand square meters where art galleries coexist. Apart from the museums in the region, which I will briefly mention below, this is the meeting point of young people, especially in nice weather and summer evenings.. Just chatting at the outdoor tables of cafes and restaurants, or just sitting on the stairs by buying a beer from the market (yellow canned Ottakringer beer, of course) is enough to love the MQ district independent of museums.. The museums in the Museumsquartier area are as follows.

Leopold Museum

There are portraits and drawings. Student ticket 9 and full ticket 13 Euros.

Mumok (Museum of Modern Art)

Central Europe’ largest modern art museum in. The student ticket is 8 Euros and the full ticket is 12 Euros.

Q21

The content of this section, which we can call an exhibition space, is devoted to the works of contemporary artists. constantly changing according to. Admission is free.

Tanzquartier (TQ)

A space for dance workshops. One-time day training is 10 euros and evening training is 15 euros.. It seems that those who come to Vienna for a longer period of time rather than for touristic purposes and buy packages of 10 or 20 in blocks can benefit better.

ZOOM Kindermuseum

Designed to appeal to museums up to 14 year olds. Admission is free for children and 5 Euros for adults.. They divided each section into age groups and designed different interactive areas from science to art, architecture to technology.. It’s hard not to be envious of the way children are raised in Vienna, which lacks a ‘mall culture’.

Kunsthalle Wien

Art gallery. Up to 19 years old free and full ticket 8 Euros. Every Sunday there is an entrance fee for ‘whatever your heart desires’, this is the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.

It is possible to reach the Museumsquartier by getting off at the same named stop of the U2 line of the metro.

Crossing to the other side of this building in the museums area, you reach the area consisting of cafes and many museums.

Naturhistorisches Museum (Natural History Museum)

Opened in 1889, the museum covers every genre you can think of such as archeology, anthropology, mineralogy, zoology and geology. ‘..oji’ works. I think the sections with dinosaurs and meteorites falling to earth are particularly interesting.

The adult ticket of the museum, which is free for under 19s and 5 Euros for students, is 10 Euros.. I went when I was a student in Vienna in 2009 and I vaguely remember the dinosaur exhibition.. I also explained in my article Free Museums in London that my favorite museum of this type is in London.

Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Art History)

The Kunsthistorisches Museum, with its dome in the middle and its architecture extending symmetrically on both sides, resembles the Natural History Museum I just described, and is positioned at the other end of the Maria-Theresien-Platz square.. Since both museums were built by the same people in the same period, they are so similar to each other.

In addition to oil portraits, the museum opened in 1891, in addition to the Egyptian collection, coins, antiquities, etc. There are artifacts collected by the Dynasty over the centuries.. The entrance fee of the museum is 11 Euros for a student ticket and 15 Euros for an adult ticket.. Those who are interested can drop by.

• Wiener Rathaus (Vienna City Hall) *

The building, which was named New Town Hall (Neues Rathaus) until the 1960s, in order not to be confused with the old building, is now the Vienna Town Hall .

One ​​of Vienna’s most magnificent buildings, Rathaus, 19. It was built in the 19th century in accordance with the architectural movement called Neo-gothic.. The figure of Rathausmann, located on the tallest dome in the middle, is one of the symbols of Vienna today.

Wiener Rathaus – Vienna City Hall

The Rathausplatz square where the building is located also hosts events and festivals at different times of the year; for example Vienna Christmas market from mid-November to 24 December and ice rink (Wiener Eistraum – Vienna Ice World) from November to March It is set up here and the evening lighting of the town hall is especially impressive during these periods.

If you want to visit the inside of the Town Hall, it is free on Monday – Wednesday – Friday at 13:00. It says guided tour (free guided tour) but I’m not sure about the details, I recommend you to go there early and investigate if you want.

• Österreichisches Parliament (Austrian Parliament) *

Austrian Parliament Building has been my Vienna since 1918 with its administrative center and white architecture one of my favorite buildings in. Although it was sad that it was completely closed due to renovation work in my last visit to Vienna in July 2018, I tried to console myself with the fact that I had seen it before, I hope they will finish the work as soon as possible (I couldn’t find any information on when it will be completed on the internet).

The most striking part of the parliament building, whose exterior design was inspired by Greek architecture, The Fountain of Athena (Pallas Athene Fountain). Athena, goddess of wisdom, war and peace in Greek mythology, holds the goddess of victory Nike in her right hand and a helmet in her left. The four figures at the bottom of the statue symbolize the four main rivers of Europe: Danube, Inn, Elbe and Vltava.. These rivers, which are now on the borders of other countries such as the Czech Republic and Switzerland, were under the auspices of the Austrian Empire at the time.

Meanwhile, I was enlightened in my research to write the article, and you can quickly climb up. Let me say it again in case you read it; The name of the sports brand we know, Nike, comes from this goddess of victory, you know, it is associated with personal goals and victory with sports.. In fact, the fact that some people read the brand name as ‘naykii’ instead of ‘nayk’ was because the name of the goddess was pronounced that way, and we were actually pronouncing it wrong when we said ‘nayk’, huh?. Maybe I was the only one who didn’t know, anyway, here’s what I learned

It is free to join the guided tours in English, you can check the hours here if you wish.

You can reach Rathaus building and square by getting off at the Rathaus stop of the U2 line of the metro. After a few minutes’ walk, the beautiful parliament building awaits you.

Vienna Parliament Building and Athena statue

• Sigmund Freud Museum

Between 1891 and 1938, Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, lived in this house.. Because of his Jewish origin, he had to immigrate to England before the Second World War and died in exile in London a year later.

For those who do not know that Sigmund Freud is Austrian, so We have learned it For psychoanalysis or psychoanalytic theory, we can simply say ‘the therapy technique that tries to understand the unconscious elements on which our thoughts and behaviors are based, their connections and their effects on us’.

Freud in the Museum’ Many works such as the personal belongings and works of the student are on display, the student ticket is 7.50 euros and the full ticket is 12 euros.. Visiting hours are from 10:00 to 18:00 every day. I went 10 years ago, but I still did not take a single decent photo.

Many buses and trams go to the museum at Berggasse 19. To go by metro, you need to get off at the Schottentor stop of the U2 line.

* Naschmarkt

Do you like street markets? If yes, you will love the Naschmarkt, where all kinds of products such as fruits, vegetables, meat, spices are sold.. I recommend you to go during the daytime to see these stalls, but if you go in the evening, you can find open restaurants and encounter street performers.. The Naschmarkt area is a wonderful mix of cultures and it is possible to come across everything from world cuisine.. By the way, most of the sellers in the market stalls are Turkish.

When I was a student, I bought chicken seasoning for my mother to cook chicken in the oven from one of the stalls here. You will go when you go, bring me the same spice” she says If you are good with the kitchen like my mother, you should find a Turkish seller and give them a chance to recommend something suitable for your needs.

To go to Naschmarkt by subway Normally, it is easiest to get off at Karlsplatz stop at the intersection of U1, U2, U4 lines, but if you are going to follow the route I made and go to Karlskirche and Stadtpark after Naschmarkt, use the next stop of the U4 line, Kettenbrückengasse, to avoid commuting.

If you like street markets, you will have a good time at Naschmarkt.

• Karlskirche *

I guess I wouldn’t be wrong if I say that all public transport in Vienna goes here for the Karlsplatz stop at the intersection of the three metro lines So it is very easy to drop your way here and see the church I will talk about. Technology – Technische Universität Wien) has become a place where I spend every day because of its being here.

Karl Church (Karlskirche Don’t say church , ‘kirche’ already means church :)), Emperor VI. It was built by Karl between 1716 and 1737.. When the last plague epidemic hit Europe in 1713, the emperor promised to build a church in the name of the Italian bishop Cardinal Karl Borromaus, who helped the sick, and he had this church built after the disease was over. The left column is associated with the concepts of “loyalty” and the right column with the concepts of “courage”. I say take a look.

There are classical music concerts in Karl’s Church, so I bought tickets to the Vivaldi Four Seasons (Four Seasons – German: Jahreszeiten) concert and saw the inside of the church. I also had the chance to listen to one of my favorite classical music works.. Student tickets are available for 19 Euros and regular tickets for 24 Euros.. When I said I am a student, no card was asked. Non-students can try their luck for a discounted ticket first if they want You can find concert tickets right outside the church, click to view the program on the website. wp-caption-text”>Vivaldi Four Seasons classical music concert in Karlskirche is a wonderful experience.

The famous Vienna palaces If you are going to visit Schönbrunn and Belvedere (at least one of them I think you should), after touring around Karlsplatz, you can head towards the palaces, because the subways to both pass here (what did we say, every road leads to Karlsplatz in Vienna). For detailed information about Vienna Palaces, click on the VIENNA PALACES article.

• Stadtpark *

The ‘City Park’ (this is the Turkish equivalent), opened to the public in 1862, was the first park in Vienna.. The most famous statue in the park, which contains many monuments and statues, is the golden Johann Strauss statue with his violin in hand.. I think it looks great especially in summer with the flowery area in front of it, if you want to visit a single park in Vienna, I think Stadtpark should be your choice. It may take time to enter and look for the statue.. So it would be more practical to write Johann Strauss monument or Johann Strauss Denkmal on the map and head directly there.. 1km walking distance from Karlskirche; If you do not want to walk or if you are coming from another place, you can get off at the Stadtpark stop of the U2 line of the metro in addition to the tram option.

One ​​of the symbols of Vienna Strauss statue is located in Stadtpark.

• Hundertwasserhaus *

Hundertwasserhaus house (I’ve shown you the wrong usage here since ‘haus’ already means house :)) interestingly there is no metro stop in front of it. On how to get to Hundertwasser House, the Hetzgasse stop of tram number 1 seems to be the closest, but depending on your location, you can check out different tram options.. If you want to go by subway, Landstrasse – Wien Mitte at the intersection of U3 and U4 lines is the closest stop (it’s the next stop from Stadtpark anyway) and then you will have to walk for about 10 minutes.

Vienna’s colorful houses Hundertwasserhaus

• Prater Amusement Park *

Turn to the Praterstern stop at the intersection of the U1 or U2 lines of the metro, because we are going to see the famous Vienna Ferris wheel and amusement park!

The 65-meter-high Ferris wheel named Wiener Riesenrad (Giant Ferris Wheel), built in 1897, is considered one of the symbols of Vienna. must see. If you want to get on and take a tour, adult ticket price is 10 Euro and child ticket price between 3 – 14 years old is 4.5 Euro.. I liked the ticket, including visiting the area that we can call an exhibition or a museum.. Those who go with children can choose the family ticket option.

There are also romantic dinner and similar concepts in Vienna that can serve purposes such as a marriage proposal.

After seeing the Ferris wheel, take a tour around the Prater amusement park. The Prater itself, which is free to enter and wander, is always open, but the opening hours of the toys inside vary depending on demand and seasonal conditions.. Ticket prices are in the range of 1.5 – 5 Euros for each toy.. If you can arrange your time, I recommend you to go to the Prater in the afternoon and see the illuminated version of the Ferris wheel.

For those who want to see it, you can visit the Madame Tussauds Museum, where wax statues of celebrities are located. The Vienna branch is located in the Prater amusement park.

If you saw a ball-like building very close to the Ferris wheel and thought it was one of the toys in the amusement park, you would be wrong, it is a state! How so?? The building built by Edwin Lipburger in 1971 caused great controversy, and the man was even arrested.. Then in 1976 it declared its independence as the Kugelmugel microstate (Republic Kugelmugel).. In 1982 it was moved to the ‘anti-fascism zone’ (Antifaschismusplatz 2) in its current location, the Prater amusement park.. I don’t know why he did such a thing and what he got when he declared his independence

Vienna’s famous Ferris wheel is located in Prater amusement park .

• Donau (Danube River)

The Danube also passes through Vienna, even if it doesn’t pass through the middle of the city like Budapest and divide the city in two.. You can tour around and visit the tower named Donauturm (Danube Tower – Danube Tower) and the islet called Donauinsel (Danube Island – Danube Island). You can go to the tower with a ticket and the view is beautiful (I didn’t), and the islet is a place where you can witness the ‘innocent Europeans who see the sun’ madness as the center of activities such as beaches and picnics, especially in nice weather.. It can be reached by getting off at the Donauinsel stop of the U1 line.

—

I finished the parts I will tell as a group, finally I will add one more place, but since it is in the direction of Vienna Airport (Schwechat) from the city center, it did not make sense to include it in any group, so I add it as ‘independent’.

Zentralfriedhof (Central Cemetery – Central Cemetery)

“Was the last place you were going to tell about the cemetery?” If you’re confused, stop; because this is a special place, similar to the Paris Celebrity Cemetery.

When I visited this place as the first cemetery abroad (Christian cemetery) while living in Vienna, which was my first experience abroad. I was amazed at how ornate the tombstones were and how they described the people they belonged to and the things they loved.. That’s why, when you enter the cemetery, I say carefully examine the areas you pass while heading to the 32A – Musiker section.

This is why you should visit this cemetery ‘Musiker’ ‘ i.e. it stems from the musicians section; because there are mausoleums of many ‘fathers’ of classical music such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Johann Strauss and Johannes Brahms.. The cemetery is open until 17:00 or 18:00 depending on the season.

If your time is very limited, I visited the cemetery twice in different years because of my interest in classical music. you can skip; because how to get topic is a bit long. You arrive at the Reumannplatz stop of the U1 line or the Simmering stop of the U3 line and get off at the Zentralfriedhof stop with the tram number 6, the total journey time may exceed half an hour one way.

The graves of Beethoven, Mozart and Schubert in the Vienna Central Cemetery fit in the same frame.

List of places to see in Vienna It’s pretty fluffy, so I tried to make it easier for you to plan by explaining it in groups.. As I mentioned at the beginning; Click here for a Vienna metro map, here for an illustrated tourist map.
