The Vienna City Guides cover what visitors actually wonder about: which coffee houses give you a seat without a queue, where to find an honest schnitzel or Tafelspitz, how to hear the opera for the price of a sandwich, which Christmas markets are worth the Punsch and how to reach the Wachau or Bratislava by train. Each guide is a short list with an opinion: every place has the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip. It opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Buffet Trzesniewski
Dorotheergasse 1, Innere Stadt
Tiny open sandwiches on dark bread, made here since 1902, with egg, herring, paprika and onion spreads. A few pieces and a Pfiff, the small beer, make a quick lunch for about €10. From the food guide.
Belvedere Palace
Prinz-Eugen-Strasse 27
Klimt’s The Kiss hangs in the Upper Belvedere, part of the largest Klimt collection anywhere. A ticket for the Upper Belvedere alone is enough; finish in the garden, where it is calmer. From the things to do guide.
Dürnstein Castle
Above Dürnstein village
The ruins where Richard the Lionheart was held in 1192, reached by a 20 to 30 minute climb through the vines. Open at any hour and free, with the Danube bend below; take care on the steep path when it is icy. From the day trips guide.
From the trail to the guides
World City Trail’s Vienna scavenger hunt, outdoor escape game and audio tour take you through the old town. When you finish, the guides carry on: a melange in a coffee house that seats you straight away, Klimt at the Belvedere, a Käsekrainer at a sausage stand after dark or a train out to the Wachau vineyards.
