With so much to see it can be hard to know where to start, so why not begin with the city’s most famous resident, Mozart, and visit Mozarthaus Vienna where you can see the very room in which this classical master lived and composed some of his finest works. Head next to the Stephansdom Church with its imposing views over the city, fully rebuilt after the devastation of the Second World War. On the western outskirts of town is the marvellous Schönbrunn Palace, a sprawling 1,441room Baroque wonder that served as the former imperial summer residence. Equally magnificent is the former imperial winter residence, the Hofburg Palace, nowadays working as the official residence and working place for the President of Austria. There you can also witness performances of the world-famous Lipizzan horses taught at the Spanish Riding School. Nearby is the Albertina museum, housing one of the largest graphic art collections in the world. Another must-visit spot for Austrian art history is the stunning Belvedere Castle set in a Baroque park landscape. After a day’s exploring pick a spot along the Danube and soak up the culture in one of Europe’s oldest cities.
