Before the sudden end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1918, the city was a powerhouse that ran the central states of Europe. For hundreds of years, merchants and politicians, artists and architects, writers and musicians flocked here. Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert lodged within walking distance of each other. Klimt, Freud and Mahler visited the same cafés. This relatively small city on the edge of the Hungarian plains became one of the wealthiest, most powerful and most beautiful in Europe.
Today it is extraordinary to walk round the centre of Vienna and find so much history and art in such a small place. Even outside the Ringstrasse, the wide boulevard that replaced the 13th-century city walls, the density of historical sites is extraordinary. While Vienna may have a reputation as being one of the most musical cities in the world, that is to ignore its contribution to painting and architecture. And if culture weren’t enough to attract the visitor, the Viennese love of food, wine, beer and coffee will certainly attract gourmet and gourmand alike.
It is also worth remembering that although Vienna remains refreshingly elegant and refined (most shops still shut on a Sunday), it is not in the least bit stuck in the past. A flurry of new hotels and restaurants have opened in recent years and the contemporary art scene is breathing new blood into an already highly sophisticated arts scene. The classic and the contemporary now sit side by side.

In this video we have put together 3 historical places that you must visit while you are in Vienna. Although Vienna has much more historical landmarks or places to offer we believe this top 3 list should be the first places to visit while you are in Vienna.
