Not so well known Viennese landmarks

Sehenswürdigkeiten

With the Votivkirche there is also a neo-Gothic building on the Ringstraße. The church was built after an assassination attempt on Emperor Franz Joseph (yes, Sissi's husband). As a magnificent Gothic building, the colourful windows are particularly worth seeing, especially in the early afternoon when the sun shines through. The church is currently being renovated. However, it can still be visited. In my opinion, this creates a very special spatial experience. Half of the church shines in new splendour, while the other half is full of scaffolding in the dark, like in the film Illuminati. The museum is not very worth seeing, the flyer for it is on the shelf. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

What do you expect in the centre of a city of millions? Hectic What to expect in the centre of Vienna? Calmness. The inner courtyard of the Schottenkloster is so quiet that it's almost eerie. The ideal place for a coffee and a Sachertorte. Café Diglas also serves a good breakfast.

Austria's history after the Habsburgs is usually divided into three parts: Interwar period - Nazi period - post-war period. The House of Austrian History puts an end to these constructed periods and shows the transitions fluidly, just as history happens. One begins with the first impressions of contemporary witnesses of the collapse of the monarchy and ends with Conchita Wurst's ESC dress. Furthermore, the magnificent marble staircase of the Hofburg, which leads to the museum, is very impressive. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Vienna can also be modern. Nowhere is this more evident than in the courtyard of the MuseumsQuartier. The baroque building complex was redesigned to create a huge consumption-free open space.

Park

Beside the Donauinsel, the Augarten is the ideal place to picnic and relax. The Viennese use the park to play frisbee and bocchia. Unlike the Volksgarten, for example, it is not overrun by tourists. There is a cute cafe there too.
