Vienna picks
Six shortcuts to the Vienna you didn't know you wanted to see.
Café Central (Trotsky played chess here). Sperl (untouched since 1880). Hawelka (bohemian, Klimt drank here). Order a Melange and a slice of Sachertorte. Don't apologise to the waiter - they're meant to be grumpy.
Build this walkAn apartment block by Friedensreich Hundertwasser - undulating floors, trees growing out of windows, no straight lines. In the 3rd district, 15 minutes from the centre. Free to look from outside (you can't go in - people actually live there).
Build this walkKunsthistorisches Museum is one of the world's great art collections. Belvedere for Klimt. Albertina for the prints. Or settle into a coffeehouse with a newspaper - Wiener coffeehouses are protected UNESCO heritage, and you can stay all afternoon for €5.
Build this walkThe Prater Ferris wheel and amusement park. Schönbrunn Zoo (the oldest in the world, 1752). Naturhistorisches for dinosaurs. The Spanish Riding School (book ahead). Donaupark on a sunny day.
Build this walkStephansdom from Stock-im-Eisen-Platz. Belvedere's reflecting pool at sunrise. The Gloriette at Schönbrunn looking back. Karlskirche's dome reflected on the new pool. Prater Ferris wheel at golden hour.
Build this walkCocktails at Kleinod (speakeasy). Heurigen (Vienna's wine taverns) in Grinzing - the only major capital with vineyards inside city limits. Bars at the back of Neubau: Vincent, Kleinod, Tachles. Pratersauna for clubbing.
Build this walkHow it works
Three things, in 30 seconds.
01
Any neighbourhood, theme, or vibe. "Klimt's Vienna", "Coffeehouse tour", "Mozart's apartments". iWander writes you the walk in 30 seconds.
02
Mozart, Klimt, Freud - their Vienna whispered in your ear as you walk past coffeehouses they sat in. Hands-free in your headphones.
03
Whose monogram is that? Why does this café have ten kinds of coffee? Point your camera, ask out loud, or type.

Local knowledge
The stuff you only learn after you've walked it.
01
Order one Melange, sit for three hours, read the papers stacked on wooden racks. Nobody will rush you - this is the actual Wiener culture, not a stereotype.
02
You can walk around the entire Innere Stadt boundary on the Ringstrasse - past Parliament, Rathaus, Opera, museums, Stadtpark - in 90 minutes. The Ringbahn tram does it for the price of a single ticket.
03
Pork is "Schnitzel Wiener Art" (Vienna style). The real Wienerschnitzel costs more for a reason. Figlmüller does both. Bring an appetite - they fill the plate.
04
Suburban inns serving the year's wine - traditionally only when a pine branch is hung outside the door. Grinzing (19th district) is the famous one; Stammersdorf (21st) is quieter and more local.
05
December is magic - Christmas markets at Rathaus, Maria-Theresien-Platz, Spittelberg. July-August is hot and museum tourists are everywhere. Avoid August unless you want empty restaurants (locals decamp).
06
U-Bahn, tram, bus - all on one ticket. €2.40 single, €8 daily. No gates - validate at the machine when you board. Inspectors do check, fine is €105.
