Essentials in Vienna
Museumsquartier: To tackle a load of museums at one time, head to Museumsquartier, a whole district filled with cultural institutions and art galleries. The most popular include the Leopold Museum and MUMOK. Outside the museum is a huge open space to hang out.
Freud: Vienna has a long history with Freud and if you're also a fan, visit the Freud Museum at his small historic flat where he practiced psychoanalysis for almost his entire life. There are several documents on display, even his couch is there!
Stephansdom: Every European capital has to have at least one Gothic cathedral, this is Vienna's. The church has been in its location since the 12th century (although there are few things that remain for the original). The present building was constructed in the 1300s.
