Vienna resident here: Visiting Prater is a good tip! Just one thing, though - Prater is the name for the whole extensive big green park area, which is as important for Vienna and its citizens as Central Park is for NYC. Prater used to be an imperial hunting ground, it was opened to the public in 1776 and has remained open since then. The amusement part is just a small portion of it. Vienna boasts many wonderful, extensive green spaces, like Stadtpark right on the Ring. As a tourist, you could also consider going to Donaupark (a short walk from U1 stop Alte Donau) and visiting the Donauturm, with a revolving restaurant at the top that offers the best view of Vienna and its surroundings, if the weather is good.

As a matter of fact, I am! Some of the items on my list are trying the sachetorte, the Belvedere museum and Prater Park. 🇦🇹

excellent video, i plan to visit vienna and i will use the recommendations

[naryma]

0:52 Dont particularly recommend them, far too toristy and overhyped - rather recommend the Imperial Treasure Chamber.
3:15 Since when do they have concerts in the opera house? And I would have rather added Musikverein then Karlskirche to that list.
3:59 Dont recommend either of them - there are better locations with better prices and quality. Demel does have very good pastries - but I would take them to-go.
5:34 5:43 5:46 6:18 7:45 Also part of the Hofburg
6:04 Dont really recommend the Freud Museum either, kind of a tourist scam.
6:54 The Prater IS the large central park of the city - it also contains a small amusement section in one corner. It also contains several historical coffee houses and a casino.
8:21 Thats not the Danube river, its a small artificial channel built some centuries ago to allow merchant ships closer to the markets. The actual Danube is considerably larger then that. I agree, it might be interesting to stroll along - if you r into nature and relax.
10:15 Ehm...every stop of the U4 line looks like that...there is one pavillion in particular I would mention - unfortunatly its the only one, which is NOT accessible to the public (the emperor got his own subway station).
10:28 It was never the center of jewish life in the city - in the 1200s Leopold I (of the Babenberger Dinasty) forced all the jews out of the city onto an island in the middle of the Danube (at the time). Nowadays its the 2nd district of the city (still named after that jerk). That district has been the center of jewish life in the area ever since.

Hello just wanna ask how to get to major attractions? By walking or by public transpo?

[bladablitz]

Good video, but that was not the Danube river (which is much wider), it´s the Danube Channel.

Hello, we will be in Prague with my son (6 years old) on Monday. End of April in Vienna. After our divorce, we try to travel a lot. Since we were traveling, I opened this account and made test videos myself. I hope my posts about the Prague trip will be better.
