Things to do in Vienna

The Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien is one of the most important art museums in the world and a must visit for anyone interested in history, art, and culture. The museum houses an extraordinary collection assembled by the Habsburg dynasty, allowing visitors to trace the artistic, political, and cultural development of Europe across centuries. From Renaissance masterpieces by artists such as Raphael, Titian, and Vermeer to ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Roman artefacts, the museum offers a comprehensive journey through human civilisation and creativity. Beyond the artworks, the museum itself is an architectural masterpiece. It is highly recommended to purchase tickets in advance. The museum is extremely popular, and queues can be long, especially during peak tourist seasons. Buying tickets online allows visitors to skip the ticketing line, save time, and enjoy a smoother and more relaxed museum experience, leaving more time to explore the collections at a comfortable pace.

I did this trip solo and would totally recommend it to anyone who's still deciding. Visiting three landmarks in one day was definitely worth it. The schedule felt a bit rushed, especially in Hallstatt, but overall it was still a great experience. The bus was comfortable, and our guide Olgo was nice, friendly, helpful, and did a great job explaining things and keeping everyone entertained.

It's very thoughtful that they can pick you up from the hotel in the morning, but unfortunately, they can't drop you back off at the hotel after the activity ends. The one-way trip is about 4 hours, and there will be rest stops on the way there and back. You'll have about 30-40 minutes to buy things and eat. We participated in the tour on January 1st, and everything was open. Hallstatt is beautiful. One trout restaurant there only accepts cash. After arriving, the tour guide took us up to the church for a quick tour, and then we had free time, about 3-4 hours, which was plenty of time. Recommended for people who don't want to research the route themselves.

Visited Belvedere Palace and really enjoyed the experience. Inside the palace, there are a lot of paintings, including many impressive and well-curated artworks, making it a great place for art lovers. Outside the palace, there was a Christmas market, which added a festive and lively atmosphere to the visit. The combination of art, history, and seasonal charm makes this a wonderful place to explore in Vienna.

It was great to be able to easily book and see such a great show in Korea in advance! As expected of Golden Hall, the venue itself was so beautiful! If you book a better seat, you'll be able to see it from closer, but it was still good enough for this price. Haha.

An incredibly entertaining orchestral concert! 🎶 I was pleasantly surprised to be upgraded from Category C to a Superior seat (the second-best tier). Ticket redemption is available only one hour before the show. Note that jackets and backpacks aren’t allowed inside—you’ll need to check them at the counter for €0.75 per item. The performance was outstanding, with a lively conductor who kept the audience fully engaged. The concert hall is also perfectly located right by the metro exit—super convenient!

I went to Vienna in October for a quick four-day trip, hoping to see Vienna, Hallstatt & Salzburg, and Bratislava. Man, was I wrong. I went home feeling bummed, so I went back to Vienna for the New Year for a whole week. I booked a tour group to Hallstatt and Salzburg, and it was awesome. We met at 7 am, and the bus left right on time at 7:02 am. Our tour guide, Oktavia, was just as great as my trip. She gave us coffee and biscuits on the bus. When we got to Hallstatt, she took a picture of each of us and even gave us a free printed copy! How sweet was that?! Oktavia knows her stuff too and she's great at what she's doing. I totally recommend this group tour. It's worth every penny.

Stephan is our guide for today and he is very clear and professional in his delivery. He is also punctual for the meet up. He guided us through the whole tour inside, and also brought us to the gardens to show us where we can proceed for good photos. Highly recommended! It will be good if you do not carry any bag with u, or a very small one if required as u will be required to deposit them before heading in.

We had an amazing day trip to Hallstatt, Melk Abbey, and Salzburg. Our driver, Jessin, was absolutely fantastic—friendly, professional, and very attentive throughout the journey. The ride was extremely comfortable, making the long day very enjoyable. Jessin even took us to an additional stop that was breathtakingly beautiful, which was a wonderful surprise and truly enhanced our experience. Communication was smooth and clear from start to finish, and we really appreciated the snacks and water provided along the way. There were also plenty of washroom breaks, which made the trip very comfortable and well-paced. Highly recommended—this day trip exceeded our expectations!
