Vienna

Belvedere Palace is a Baroque palace complex in Vienna known for its formal gardens, ornate architecture, and major Austrian art collections including works by Gustav Klimt.

Schönbrunn Palace is Vienna's grandest royal residence and Austria's most visited tourist attraction, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of extraordinary Baroque and Rococo architecture built as the summer palace of the Habsburg dynasty. The palace's 1,441 rooms were furnished and decorated over several centuries, and the Imperial Apartments offer a glimpse into the personal lives of Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth (Sisi). The formal French gardens, ending at the hilltop Gloriette with its panoramic Vienna view, are a masterpiece of Baroque landscape design.

St. Stephen's Cathedral (Stephansdom) is Vienna's most iconic landmark and the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture that has dominated the city center for over 600 years. The cathedral's most distinctive feature is its 137-meter South Tower, one of the tallest Gothic spires in the world, along with a distinctive diamond-patterned tiled roof that creates the iconic panoramic view of Vienna. Mozart's funeral was held here, and it remains Vienna's most sacred and most visited religious site.
