muranochka | autumn 2016
In the capital of Austria, the city of Vienna, we have been with the whole family several times. Once we stopped by from Bratislava by train, the second time we flew by plane through Vienna Airport - Vienna-Schwechat.
In both cases, we stayed for a maximum of a day or two. But even these short visits left an indelible impression on all family members.
The main thing in this business is to know the most interesting places in Vienna and not to waste the allotted time on this beautiful city.
Video walk in Vienna
Arrival in Vienna:
The best way to get to Vienna is by public transport. On our first trip, we chose the train and got from Bratislava (Slovakia) to Vienna by train in almost 1.5 hours.
And we arrived at the Vienna Central Railway Station. At this time, he was just being re-positioned, and there were a lot of construction equipment around.
To speed up our acquaintance with the city, we went to the Vienna Opera. But not to enjoy the tenors' vocals or listen to a new production. It was here, not far from the Vienna Opera, that the Hop-on - Hop-off loop bus route began.
GPS coordinates of the beginning of the Hop on Hop off route in Vienna - 48 ° 12'09.5 ″ N 16 ° 22'10.3 ″ E

In addition, you have the right to get off the bus, take a walk around the attraction that you really like and return to any next bus that again goes around the loop. There are no transfer restrictions. This format of acquaintance is convenient for tourists.
note, this opportunity is available to you if you have chosen a day ticket for a day (24 hours) or more, therefore, short routes - 1 or 2 hours will not be available for transfers around the circle.
Similar Hop on Hop off routes operate in almost all major cities and capitals of Europe. In this format, we also met in Paris, Budapest, even in Minsk.

You might argue that this is not convenient. A real tourist should carefully familiarize himself with all the beauties.
I dare to object. I usually take the Hop-on Hop-off bus straight away to quickly find out and see where all the best places are, and then slowly explore the most interesting highlights. It seems to me that this is the most convenient tool for all tourists.
You can easily recognize your bus stops by special labels in the form of the letter H on a yellow background.
(PDF format)
The price of a ticket for the route costs, depending on the length of the route, from 13 Euro to 25 Euro. Tickets can be bought for cash, in Euros, or through a credit card, through a POS terminal from a service employee.
By the way, there is a very spicy attraction not far from boarding the bus 🙂
I am certainly not referring to the famous Vienna Opera, namely the Vienna Opera Toilet with decorated classical cabins and chamber music.
If you are already close to the Vienna Opera, do not forget to take the guided tour to see Austria's most famous venue inside and behind the scenes. You can find out the schedule of excursions on the website of the Vienna Opera - www.wiener-staatsoper.at
Entrance ticket price for the Vienna Opera excursion: adults - 7.50 Euro, children - 3.50 Euro.
Sightseeing video tour of Vienna by bus Hop-on Hop-off
An alternative way to quickly get around Vienna for tourists is the Vienna underground or metro. It is called - Wiener U-Bahn.
You can spot the Vienna underground with the letter U at the underground entrance to the underground.
The Vienna metro has 5 lines with 104 stations and runs from 5 am to midnight.
Prices for the Vienna metro: One trip costs 2.20 Euro. A full day pass costs 7.60 Euro (I would recommend buying it if you are walking around the city). The fare for 2 days is 13.30 Euro.
Map - scheme of the Vienna Metro
By the way, a ticket for the Vienna metro is also valid for other types of public transport: buses and trams.
The most famous sights of Vienna:
St. Stephen's Cathedral
This is the oldest Catholic cathedral, is the national symbol of Austria and symbolizes Vienna. The cathedral is located in the center of the old town at St. Stephen's Square (Stephansplatz).
GPS coordinates of Stephen's Cathedral - 48 ° 12'30.4 ″ N 16 ° 22'20.0 ″ E
Get to it by metro - stop "Stephansplatz".
The history of the Cathedral begins almost a thousand years ago. Leopold IV, together with Reginmar, Bishop of Passau, founded the church in 1137. In the years 1230-1245, the church expanded and the western "Romanesque" wall appeared.
After a while, in 1258, the first church burned down. In 1263, a second church, also in the Romanesque style, was built on this very place and it was consecrated on April 23rd. This birthday of the cathedral is celebrated in Vienna today.
The cathedral survived wars and survived until 1945. Even the bombing did not damage it during the war. Only the marauders who started burning the plundered shops damaged the Cathedral. The fire spread to the Cathedral. All floors and roofs were destroyed. The cathedral was rebuilt in the 80s, and it continues to this day. The main problem of the restorers is the stone on the outer walls of the cathedral and sculptures, which are not spared by time. In order to somehow slow down the aging of the cathedral, stones are replaced with similar ones, robots are carried out with original instruments and according to old technologies.
The most interesting about the Cathedral:
There are 23 bells in the Cathedral. The largest of them, New Pummerin, weighing 21.3 tons, calls only 11 times on major holidays only. This is the second largest bell in Europe after Cologne.
The largest organ in Austria is located in St. Stephen's Cathedral. The organ includes 125 registers and 10 thousand organ pipes.
If you want to ride with the breeze, you can take a fiacre right next to the Cathedral. There are a lot of them, you can choose any for yourself.
Hofburg (or in German: Hofburg)
This is the winter residence of the Austrian monarchs, the Habsburgs. Now, the official residence of the President of Austria.
The entire ensemble contains 2,600 rooms and has already been mentioned since 1279. Constantly, the ruling dynasties were completing and adding something to the building.
The Hofburg can be easily reached by underground to the station Herrengasse.
Hofburg official website - www.hofburg-wien.at
GPS coordinates of the Hofburg Residence —48 ° 12'23.4 ″ N 16 ° 21'50.3 ″ E
Austrian Parliament Building (Hohes Haus)
This is one of the most popular buildings for tourist photo sessions. The building of the Austrian Parliament was built in the neo-Greek style. The Austrian national and federal councils also sit here.
GPS coordinates of the Austrian Parliament - main entrance - 48 ° 12'28.6 ″ N 16 ° 21'34.3 ″ E
By the way, knowledge itself is available to tourists. You can find out more about possible tours of the Austrian Parliament on the official website - www.parlament.gv.at Ticket price - 5 euros, for children - free.
The most famous sculptural group is the sculpture of Pallas Athena in a golden helmet with cupids and a fountain. This is the most central location for tourist photography, although the Parliament building itself stretches majestically along the street.
By the way, the Vienna City Hall is not far away, a 2-minute walk away.
Here are the offices of the Burgomaster. The building itself was built in the neo-gothic style
In winter, the Vienna Ice Dream skating rink is flooded here ()
Burgtheater (Burgtheater)
By the way, almost opposite the city hall is Burgtheater (Burgtheater) - a court theater in the Vienna Hofburg, which was established in 1741 by the decree of Empress Maria Theresa.
During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Burgtheater was considered one of the most prestigious theaters in the German-speaking world.
The official website of the theater - www.burgtheater.at
City Park (Stadtpark)
The Stadtpark was laid out in 1860, it is notable not only for greenery and intricate paths, but also for an abundance of monuments and sculptures to outstanding personalities: Johann Strauss, Franz Schubert.
Getting to the city park is very easy - using the Vienna metro - get off at the stop of the same name - Stadtpark
Especially famous is the "golden" monument to Strauss, copies of which have already been installed in China, Japan and even Cuba.
In addition, there is a special official Vienna website, where a special section is devoted to this monument - www.wien.info/en/music-stage-shows/city-of-music/strauss-monument
Let's get together to touch the brilliant music of Strauss in this video.
Danube Tower (Donauturm)
Wherever you are in Vienna, you can always see this 252 meter high tower. The tower itself is located on the banks of the Danube and is one of the most popular tourist sites. From its viewing platforms, a beautiful panorama of Vienna opens up.
A bit of history: The tower was built in 1964 by the architect Hans Lintl during the Vienna Garden Exhibition.
The observation deck is located at an altitude of 150 meters. Reach it using 2 high-speed elevators in 35 seconds. If you like thrills, there is a construction for jumping and jumping on the court.
If you just want to spend time comfortably, you can visit two restaurants: Panorama and Danube Waltz, which are located on a rotating platform (a full turn takes 26, 39 and 52 minutes to see the whole of Vienna).
By the way, in fact, this is not a TV tower. It is not used for transmitting TV signals, but only for transmitting cellular signals or VHF radio stations.
Excursion prices:
adults - 7.40 euros
children (6-14 years old) - 5.20 euros Children under 6 years old - go free.

Must see
Karlskirche Church
Karlskirche (St Charles' Church) is considered to be the most outstanding baroque church in Vienna and one of the city's finest buildings. The impressive green copper dome rises 236 feet high, making it a dominant landmark on the Viennese skyline.
In 1713, the Black Plague swept through Vienna. Emperor Charles VI made a vow that he would build a church if the plague left the city and dedicate it to his namesake, St. Charles Borromeo; a 16th century Italian bishop famous for ministering to Milanese plague victims.
The Emperor "s prayer was thankfully answered, so an architectural competition was announced, in which Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach won. This would be the last work of the eminent baroque architect. Construction began in 1716 and after Fischer" s death in 1723, his son; Joseph completed St Charles' Church in 1737 using partially altered plans.
The competitive, innovative design of the church combines architectural elements. Ancient Greece can be seen in the columned portico; ancient Rome is reflected by the two Trajanesque columns and contemporary Viennese Baroque is featured in the dome and towers. The church originally had a direct line of vision to Hofburg Palace and was also the imperial patron parish church until 1918.
Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum is one of the largest of its kind and one of the most important museums in Europe. Originally built to house the huge collection of the Habsburgs, the Natural History Museum is amongst the most splendid of the buildings that line the Vienna Ringstrasse. It houses one of the largest natural history collections in the world. Throughout its 39 exhibition halls, thousands of objects representing the earth and life sciences offer an insight into the breath-taking spectrum of nature.
Discover rare fossils, precious minerals, dinosaur bones and unique prehistoric findings, such as the famous 25,000 year old figure of Venus of Willendorf. Also displayed is an overwhelming variety of animal species from around the world and objects that are over 200 years old showcasing the history of science and the art of taxidermy.
The museum building opened in 1889 at the same time as the Kunsthistorisches Art Museum. The buildings have striking identical exteriors and stand opposite each other across Maria-Theresien-Platz. Both buildings were built between 1872 and 1891 following plans drawn up by Gottfried Semper and Karl Freiherr von Hasenauer.
Vienna Cityhall
City Hall (Rathaus) was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by Friedrich von Schmidt and built between 1872 and 1883. Modelled on Flemish city halls, its main spire soars to 335ft (102m), with the inclusion of the pennant held by iron standard -bearer - the Rathausmann who guards the City Hall. Cast from melted-down Russian kopecks, he is 5.4m tall (3.4m without his flagpole) and weighs 650KG.
The statue of Rathausmann is similar to a knight, but in Renaissance style armor. According to rumor, the armor was inspired by the kit worn by the legendary Emperor Maximilian I, who was also called "the last knight". His armor can be seen in the Hofjagd and Rüstkammer in the nearby Hofburg.
The large and impressive City Hall occupies a Grade A site by the Ringstraße, between the Houses of Parliament and the University. It is the place where the city's council meets and also the mayor of Vienna. Since the capital has the rank of a federal province, the council also serves as a provincial parliament and the mayor as a governor.
St. Stephen's Cathedral
St. Stephen "s Cathedral is the most important religious building in Austria" s capital; not only witnessing many important events in the nation "s history, but also becoming one of Vienna's most recognizable symbols.
Founded in 1137 following the Treaty of Mautern, the partially constructed Romanesque church was solemnly dedicated in 1147 to Saint Stephen in the presence of Conrad III of Germany, Bishop Otto of Freising and other German nobles. Although the first structure was completed in 1160, major reconstruction and expansion lasted until 1511 and repair and restoration projects still continue to this day.
The Cathedral has 23 bells and the largest hangs in the north tower and is officially named for St. Mary, but is usually called Pummerin (Boomer). Weighing a huge 20,130KG (44,380 pounds), it is the largest in Austria and the second largest swinging bell in Europe, after the 23,500kg (51,800 pound) Cologne Cathedral. Originally cast in 1711 from cannons from the Turkish siege, it was recast, still partly from its original metal in 1951, after hurtling to the floor when its wooden cradle burned in the 1945 fire.
The present day west wall and Romanesque towers date from 1230 to 1245. However, in 1258 a great fire destroyed much of the original building and a larger replacement structure. Reusing the two towers, it was repaired over the ruins of the old church and consecrated on 23rd April 1263. The anniversary of this second consecration is commemorated each year by a rare ringing of the Pummerin bell for three minutes in the evening.
Monument to Maria Theresa
The Maria-Theresien-Platz is a square was created in the 19th century and is named in honor of Empress Maria Theresa, whose huge monument is the centerpiece of the square. It was constructed under the lead of Kaspar von Zumbusch over 13 years and revealed ceremoniously in 1888 by the presence of the Empress Sissi.
The colossal monument shows Maria Theresa seated on top of a large pedestal supported on all sides by Corinthian columns. She is holding a scroll with the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713, an edict issued by Emperor Charles VI that allowed women to ascend the throne. During her 40 year reign, she reformed the school system and took care of the state affairs as well as her 16 children. She insisted on educational reforms for her citizens and funded the interests of her husband, a serious amateur scientist. The collections they amassed became the foundation of the Natural History Museum.
The Empress is surrounded by some of her closest advisors, including four of her generals. Von Daun, von Khevenhüller, Traun and von Laudon are shown on horseback. Von Kaunitz, the chancellor of state, Van Swieten, her physician, Liechtenstein, director of the artillery forces and count von Haugwitz, who reformed the economy and strengthened central authority are shown standing near the pedestal.
