Things To Do in Vienna : 3-Day Travel Guide
Vienna (or Wien, as it is known within most of Europe) is one of the most glamorous cities in the entire world thanks to it being the capital city of the Austrian State for hundreds of years and it's rich history of arts and culture.
In this video, we will share a 3-day travel guide on how we explored the city of Vienna during our second video. In this video, we cover the Vienna State Opera House, Schonbrunn Palace, Hofburg Palace, The Austrian National Library, Cafe Central, Prater, and more.
Vienna is packed with so many great sites, museums, and food. While we did manage to pack a lot within our three days it means that we did have to leave some things out. We hope that this guide will help inspire and give you ideas about your next possible trip to Vienna.

Thanks for sharing your Vienna adventure. My husband and I will be visiting beautiful Vienna over the holidays. The tips and recommendations are very much appreciated. (I’m a Torontonian too 😉) I have also watched your budapest guide. 😊
We're glad our video could you prepare for your trip to Vienna! We hope you have an amazing time there!
Wow! Beautiful city. You both are great and nice! Appreciate this 😊
Thank you very much!
as a person who was born and lived in vienna for 20 years, you really covered it well :D
Thank you very much! Coming from a local that means a lot!
Sacher Torte is missing!
Thank you for sharing. I feel like being there myself. Good tips.
Beautiful sites and good food, nothing can beat that!
Thank you so much for your comment! We couldn't agree more
Thanks so much. Im in Vienna rigth now. Gonna visit some of your hints tomorrow and wednesday. Help me a lot.😊
Amazing video.... thank you for sharing, I just subscribed !
This seems to be a very charming place, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
go go go
Thank you for this!
0:34 St. Stephens was built outside of the city walls in the 13th century - so back then it certainly wasnt the center^^ 1:17 You can pay a fee for: Elevator on the N-Tower (like in the video) where you can see the Pummerin, an important bell in Vienniese history and the worlds 2nd largest free swinging bell (completly missed by the video makers), aswell as visit the S-Tower (343 stairs, do not recommend if claustrophobic), visit the Catacombs and have guided tours both on the inside and outside where they explain portions of this important landmark. 1:44 To really explore all the sights in the inner (old) city it would take somewhere around a month. Every building there is at least 300y old, many much older then that. 1:46 Monument built in memoriam of the plague outbreak in the 17th century. 2:40 Some restaurants are generalists others are specialists - Schweizerhaus is part of the second group. There is one food item and one ONLY that you should pick if you go there: Stelze (+beer). 3:06 Im 90% sure the yellow being potatoes. btw did you notice all the ppl around drinking beer (you are in a beer garden)? What are u drinking? 4:42 The writer coffee house was Cafe Griensteidl. Every coffee house specialisted in a different group/subject of ppl whichfor there never was a "central meeting point". You went to the house where you would find your kind of ppl in. Central was more a political corner, specialy for leftwings. 7:04 Thats not the NHM but the New Wing of the Hofburg. contains the national library, some Imperial collections and the ball room among others. 7:07 Thats not the KHM the same thing as before. 7:45 The original colours of Schönbrunn were blue and silver/white. 8:42 Good restaurant choice, maybe I would have tried smth else (to not repeat dishes) like Grießnockelsuppe, Tafelspitz and Kaiserschmarrn (4ex). 10:03 Ur finally getting intuned^^ Melange + pastry, now we are talking!
Thanks for the feedback and sharing more tips about St Stephen's.
Thanks
Guess there's always something to criticize
Super 👍👍 Danke 👍 sehr schönes schtad ich liebe Wien ❤️
Enjoyed this video a lot!
Upon making plans to go abroad for the first time, I was inspired to visit Vienna from the film Woman in Gold. I visited the Belvidere, Schoenbrunn, Holocaust memorial, Christmas market at Parliament, Vienna opera house, Stephensplatz. Most beautiful city! I had the time of my life! The vienerschnitzal was amazing!
Thank you for sharing about your time in Vienna, it sounds like you had a wonderful time!
@@DomanationTravels It was sublime! Will be with me for the rest of my life. Im so grateful!
Great vid !!! Many thanks
You did a lot , nice overview of the city
Thank you very much!
WOW so beautiful 😍
I like your documentation! But one tip: If you have no "ö"-key on your keyboard, type "Schoenbrunn" for "Schönbrunn" instead of "Schonbrunn". It can lead to bizarre confusions with German speaking people, when not using Umlauts. E.g.: Schlosser = locksmith Schlösser = palaces lastig = heavy lästig = annoying schwul = gay (homosexual) schwül = muggy Bar = bar/pub Bär = bear rosten = to rust rösten = to roast lugen = to peek lügen = to lie schon = already schön = beautiful/handsome And there are yet hundreds of other potential misunderstandings, when one doesn't use Umlauts properly. So without the possibility to use "ä", "ö" or "ü", better use "ae", "oe" or "ue" as a substitute. That's totally fine. In view of pronunciation: The "ä"-sound shouldn't be a problem for native English speakers at all. Just say "bear", "care" or "where" and you got it. The "ö"-sound shouldn't be a problem either. It just sounds exactly like the "u" in "urgent", the second "e" in "emergency" or the "i" in "James T. Kirk". You may struggle with the "ü"-sound however, which is pronounced like the French "u". :-) Best regards from Vienna!
Thank you for the very detailed and helpful tips on spelling and pronunciation with the German language. We will use it in future videos!
@@DomanationTravels The pleasure is mine! Greetings, dear friends!

you did a great job for a 3-day trip, and i love that you mentioned the donau kanal! but.. you only showed the first district which is the inner city (and schönbrunn), but there are 23 districts in vienna :D there are so many beautiful and big parks and streets in vienna worth visiting! :) still love that you had a nice trip to vienna and enjoyed it that much!
Thank you for your comment! We can't wait to see the rest of Vienna the next time we visit!

Informative, fine videography and commentary - nicely done.
Thank you very much!
Thank you, it was a great video and I'm really excited about our upcoming trip.

Wonderful
Beautiful city and nice video
Thank you very much!
The best video about Vienna have seen so far.....I love this!!!
Great job, great info and video. You’re both so adorable, I hope on the future you’ll be more a bit more conversational and let your personalities shine! Bravo!
Thank you!
Amazing information and places. We intend to do it in October. Thanks guys.
Thank you violetlam for watching our video and the feedback. Have an amazing time in Vienna!
Thanks for the video! Very informative!
Thank so much, Glad it was informative and hopefully helpful!!
Wow its a great video. Even we are visiting Vienna, Prague n Budapest in the month of April. Thanks for the beautiful informative video.
Thank you for watching and the feedback. Have a wonderful trip!
@@DomanationTravels 👍
Yeah we had a very good time in all 3 places Prague, Vienna n Budapest. We also been to Hallstat from Vienna its a wonderful, beautiful village. Must visit place.
@@bhcreativity5018 So glad to hear you had a great time in each city! I heard so many good things about Hallstat as well, next time we will definitely go there too!
@@DomanationTravels yeah you must. You will get picture perfect scenery there. Every nature lover will love it. Thanks for your reply
In the schweizerhaus you have to eat "Stelze" the next time with "Krautsalat" 😊. If it's supposed to be schnitzel then you can crush the lemon on the schnitzel 😉 greetings from vienna
Greetings and thank you for the great suggestions for the next time we are in Vienna!
I am amazed that no one mentions the Spanish riding school. This is the oldest riding school in the world and was made famous by Walt Disney. That would be my first stop
Thanks for the suggestion!
I used t worked in Vienna . Love that city.
Please come to Poland: Krakow is a must-see, Wroclaw, Gdansk and Warsaw should be also enjoyable.
Thank you for the invitation to Poland! We love visiting Poland (Dom has family in Poznan). Krakow was very nice and fun to explore! Unfortunately, this was before we started making videos so sadly we don't have a video for Krakow. We have not yet visited Wroclaw, Gdansk or Warsaw yet but we probably will one day :)
Poland is werird
@@sentientarugula2884 First of all: it's called 'weird'. Second: everything is weird if you only lookout for weird things.
thank youu!! Cheers from Jakarta, Indonesia!
Thank you for watching and the comment!
I miss Vienna 😔
So do we!
Phenomenal video, and really helpful.
Thank you for watching and the feedback (I think this is the first time anyone said our videos were phenomenal!!) We are glad you found it helpful and informative :)
Loved your video. Have been to Wein I think 4 times with a fifth coming this October. I also love river cruises and that is why I have been there so many times. The only bad thing is that river cruises do not allow extended visits such as yours. Thanks to your video 1 thing I did not know about but plan to do is that elevator at St. Stephen's. Hope the weather is cooperative.
Hi Raymond, thank you for watching and the feedback! We love Wien too, it was our second time there and we will probably go again sometime! Enjoy your trip in October.
@@DomanationTravels Oops, guess I mispelled Wien.
@@raymondbiller2257 no problem, it happens!
Nice
Thank you for watching and the comment! :)
This is great because I’m going there for exactly 3 days .
Have a great trip!
Very useful
Thank you! Glad to hear it was useful for you. Enjoy your trip!
Domanation Travels thanks
I so want to go to opera someday!!
Woooow 😍 amazing
Thank You!!
another fantastic presentation!
Thank you very much!
Every street in Vienna is beautiful.. I remember these streets..
Memories, sweet memories😘 I love this City. I've been there plenty of times. Mybe couse it is relativly near my Croatia. Anyway I enjoyed watching all places that I already visited. But, believe me it is not enough spend there only 3 days🤩👍
Thanks for sharing! We definitely agree that 3 days is not enough. That's why we had to go back again!
😘👍
Vienna loves you too!! :))) Thank you for visiting us! You are always welcome!
Good vid....but do we need to look at you both eating. ...omg I got salad at the side of my plate. 🤣
Thank you for watching and your feedback. We try our best to find the right balance on what we should feature. In our newer videos we definitely shortened our food sections thanks to feedback like yours.
very nice and informative video, 👍👍👍 thanks for sharing. we better pack our cam and toothbrush. ✈
Thank you very much and have a good trip
If you had to choose between Vienna vs. Copenhagen in terms of beauty and liveability which one would you choose without being diplomatic please answer me 🙏🏻😊✨
Good question. Both cities are fantastic and underappreciated by so many people, we've been to Vienna twice, and Copenhagen just once. We'll give the edge to Vienna just because the costs for some things in Copenhagen are so high so that can hurt the livability.
The Cathedral is covered with Samsung s10+ signage while renovating it. I was there 5 days ago. It's definitely nice country, been to the Wachau Valley and Krems
That's too bad about the signage covering the cathedral during your visit. Hopefully, the renovations don't take too long!
How did you like the Wachau? I live there, in Weißenkirchen to be exact ;)
@@DomanationTravels Yes I wish too, i really wanted to enjoy seeing the architecture of structures.
@@xXN30NxGR33NXx It's very pretty! My Favorite part of our trip. We went to Weingut Knoll Winery and had diner at Loibnerhof It is Awesome place.
@@FernandoJayrDeGuzman happy to hear that. You had yourself a treat with Knoll vine, they have some very good stuff
hi dominic man man did you guys attend c4c or mcmaster university or mohawk college? or hughson baptist or church in the rock?
Best cafe we went to was Demel, small and genuine and friendly. Get there first thing so no waiting
Love the backpack! Where’d you get it?!
I got it from a random shop in Montreal, Unfortunately I don't remember the name of the shop. Sorry
Ohh I love prater park !!
Thanks for the comment - We loved strolling through Prater Park, it's great that you don't have to pay anything if you just want to walk through it.
Nice video greets from vienna :P
Greetings! Thank you so much!
Nice and informative vlog.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful ciry. Loved it. Thanks for the reminders!🍄🍷🌸
Thank you so much! We're glad to hear that you have great memories of Vienna!
Very cute video! Hope you get a mic for better audio quality for future videos though
Thank you very much. We did try a new mic for our newer videos. let me know if its better.
Servus! Thanks for your video.
What mode of transportation did you guys use to get between Prague/Vienna/Budapest? Was it by train and are their any companies you can recommend?
Hi Shirley, thank you for your question! We took a train to travel between all three cities and we would definitely recommend that mode of transportation. The travel time between Budapest and Vienna is about 2.5 hours and the time between Vienna and Prague is a bit under 4 hours if I remember correctly. We booked our tickets through OBB which is the Austrian Federal Railways and it went pretty well. The only thing when booking is that you have to purchase a ticket, and also pay a small extra cost to reserve a seat. Hope this helps!
@@DomanationTravels That's really helpful. Thanks so much!
If you wanna save money you can book other modes too, ÖBB trains are nice and clean but there are also other low cost option such as Regiojet trains and flixbus busses between Prague and Vienna, to Budapest from Vienna I would rather take the ÖBB railjet which runs several times a day, also from Prague to Vienna. You can also try to book railjet rides out of Prague via the czech railway which might offer lower fares via the website of Ceske Drahy.
@@tobiasmoser4982 Thanks for the advice and suggestion!
Vienna is a beauty :o)
Absolutely!!
Very nice Video! Next time you guys come you really should visit the Belvedere Palace and its amazing gardens right in the city centre and the Kahlenberg as it offers an fantastic view over the city and is next to the 19th district with its beautiful vineyards and heurigers!
Vienna is my favorite city. I would like to live there. 😘😘😘
Thanks for sharing! It's one of our favorite cities too!
I was born there and never liked to live there.
I’ve never been to Austria and Vienna, your video makes me want to visit this city but I have a question you arrived by train from Budapest….thanks a lot
Thank you for the questions and the feedback. Yes we arrived by train in Austria from Budapest. The trains come frequently and the locations of train stations in both cities is fairly convenient.
Visit the theater, Ronacher and Raimund Theater are so beautiful!
Thank you for the ideas and suggestions! Are these theaters free to enter or do you need to pay to get inside or watch a performance?
@@DomanationTravels you have to buy tickets
Share your favorite thing to do in Vienna if you've been or something you would love to see if you haven't visited yet!
I live in Viena !,❤💪💪💪💪🇦🇹🇦🇹
We are very jealous of your wonderful city!
Many people live in Viena ...
You are lucky . V

Vienna has less to see than most other places in Europe and it costs Twice as Much. Took a trip by Rail to Prague, and Budapest and ended in Vienna, next time around I will drop Vienna and spend that time in Prague and Budapest.
Shopping Paradise: Parndorf; Eis creme: Veganista; Green Tea (Matcha): Cha No Ma; There is a Restaurant at DC Tower (to the north) in the evening you get a beautiful view on over Vienna, also visit Kahlenberg for hiking... some tipps I got on top of my head for now., Nice video!
Thank you for all the excellent suggestions!
No mention of Sacher Torte!
Sacher Torte is pretty tasty! We had some during our first visit to Vienna before we started recording our travels. Great for Chocolate lovers!
❤My sweet city Vienna so beautiful 😊 by Sophia Strauss composer ♥️🇵🇹🌹
We really enjoyed visiting your city, thanks for watching!
musik haus, instruments collection; albertina, belvederr; art history and natur history museums ( kunsthistorisches naturhistorisches) hofburg schönbrunn palaces
For all tourist come to the station „Reumanplatz“ in Vienna its so beautiful there 😍😂😂😂
Thanks for watching and sharing the suggestion to check out Reumanplatz!
Juliet Jj And the Franz-Jonas Platz in one of the most beautyful Township like the 21. is also highly recommended😲😂😲🙄😂😥😥
@@nilsmagwalt3410 Thanks for sharing, and the advice!
@@DomanationTravels they are kidding don't go there
@@brendanaschaubine8180 I see, thanks for the clarification!
How much was the guided tour for the opera house and for schonbrunn palace?
The opera house is now 13 EUR/person. For Schonbrunn Palace to visit the outside gardens and palace grounds its free (which is what we did in this video) To go inside think there are a couple different options with lowest priced option at 20 EUR/person
Hi, our family of 3 plan to go to Vienna in June, do you suggest any clean and safe hotel with affordable rate that easily get around the city? TIA
Thank you for your question. The hotel we stayed at was arte Hotel Wien Stadthall. It was next to a subway station and at the time we booked it was an affordable option. The hotel was clean and good but there are probably fancier options. We were happy with it!
Domanation Travels thank you very much. I will check it out. Your video is very informative & helpful. Thx for sharing
@@nancyho9950 Thank you very much and enjoy Vienna!
How much did the opera house tour cost?
THanks for the great question, the cost for the tour is 9 EUR per person (adult) and a lot of helpful details are shared on their website here www.wiener-staatsoper.at/en/your-visit/guided-tours/
which month did you visit vienna?
This video was taken during July, but we also visited in September. Both months were great times to visit. September was less busy but a little cooler at night time.

XXL Restaurant Leopoldauer Alm is a must to visit in Vienna. ;)
Thank you! May i ask if it is easy to explore beautiful Vienna using english as language?
Hello, thanks for watching and your great question. We do not know any German and we felt that we were able to get by just fine with English. Many restaurants had English menus, and a lot of sites had English instructions. The transit system is also very clearly laid out and easy to use.
@@DomanationTravels thank you so very much for replying, this is so great! I believe we will visit Vienna this summer ♡
@@iopavl1738 Not a problem, we hope you have a great time in Vienna :)
in Vienna actually every body can speak english thats normaly no Problem (i am from vienna)
@@milenabiber4045 thank you! I started to learn some german words/phrases... but definately English will make everything easier for us :)
I like house in vienna. And horse and bug garden
Thanks for watching and sharing!
Ok I m cool on Czech but no stoping on others
What month did you go to Vienna?
This video was taken during our trip in July. We also went in September a few years earlier
Hi I am planning trip to Vienna, Can you provide me a private guide and 3 day tour
Thank you for your question, unfortunately we do not live in Vienna so we wouldn't be able to be a private guide. This video does retrace how we spent our 3 days in Vienna but there are definitely plenty of other activities that can swapped in as well.
Hello I am from in 🇲🇦 and I am looking for a opportunity in Austria, can I find somebody help me?
äpfelstrudel; sacher torte; rouladen; sauerbraten ; not sure if german or austrian
hahhahah i live in Vienna 😂😂😚😚💕good to hear that you like it 💕🤗
Yes we loved Vienna, one of our favorite places to visit. You live in a beautiful city!
Mt
You should mention the prices as well, it would be useful. Probably many potential visitors would just give up the visit. And you could go to some other parts of Vienna, not only the very center, of course the nicest. Try without camera seen to get some help from somebody, that counts also to learn how people are.
@@mabezibrepuklismo3296 Thanks for the feedback and the ideas! We'll try to add more prices in future videos and definetely explore more areas outside the center of Vienna next time we visit!
Me too
I like Vienna city(^^)
Thank you for sharing!
