You must have 7 to 8 days in hand before setting out on sightseeing in Austria tours. The
Austrian landscape is dotted with every conceivable thing that brings joy to
the heart; this includes natural beauty and historic relics. Destinations such
as Vienna and Salzburg attract tourists and art lovers from different parts of
the globe.
Vienna
The city is not only the capital of Austria but an important
cultural hub. The local museums and centuries old architectural wonders draw
researchers and tourists from all parts of the world. Sights to check out when
exploring and sightseeing in Vienna include:
Schonbrunn Palace- The palace building with its
sprawling gardens is an important cultural landmark. The palace has been home
to several Hapsburg monarchs and is an important tour attraction today! Top
attractions include the Tiergarten, Orangerie, French Garden, and the English
Garden.
Hofburg Palace- the awe inspiring architecture and
interesting history make it one of the most important local attractions. Some
of the most powerful families of the Austro-Hungarian empire have lived in its
quarters. This was the royal winter home in olden days.
St. Stephen’s Cathedral- also known as Stephensdom, the
cathedral is the seat of Archbishop of Vienna. The Romansque and Gothic
influence on the architecture is due to its history that goes back to the
1300’s. The initial structure was damaged long ago. The current building was
built much later.

Museumand the Sigmund Freud Museum.
