Lovely to walk around, lots of beautiful buildings, shops, restaurants. St. Stephen's Cathedral acted as a central marker for us as we explored. Nice to have pedestrian only areas so as to not worry..... more

Lovely city centre although easy to get lost. Also expensive. €7.60 for a cup of tea. But stunning architecture and beautiful buildings. Lovely Christmas decorations hanging .. even in October.

A truly beautiful sight. There are several buildings in this location. All with amazing and intriguing designs, statues, patterns and carvings. The area is very clean. Taking pics and stopping to admire can be uncomfortable as the area is extremely busy(as it should be). So better go in the morning or early afternoon on weekdays. During holidays, the area is decorated beautifully. Taxis and cars will find it difficult to pass the streets here due to excess pedestrians. All in all, amazing place, definitely a most visit when you are in Vienna.
