From Rome to Vienna, the train is one of the best ways to travel/move. Once you reach the city of Vienna, you will not be short of things to do or see. We absolutely recommend you visit Schonbrunn Palace, erected in the 1600s. It is a colossal structure and complex of rooms from 1441 that is the main tourist attraction in Vienna.The Habsburgs resided there for many years and in fact emperors of Austria were also born in the palace. It is an immense building designed in the Baroque style with a symmetrical main building that has hundreds of windows and statues on the roof. Inside the palace is an assortment of rooms all fully furnished and decorated in the original style.You can enjoy a tour through the rooms and admire the sumptuous furnishings and see how Austrian royalty lived. The Hofburg Palace is another huge lavish complex that pays homage to the power and influence of the Habsburg dynasty and for hundreds of years was the main winter palace of the rulers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Today the complex houses the offices of the president of Austria and serves as a presidential base. The iconic St. Stephen's Cathedral is definitely another must-see during your visit to Vienna. This monolithic structure stands proudly on Stephensplatz and has been the most important church in Vienna and Austria since its construction. The beauty of this building is undeniable, and its huge tower dominates the Vienna skyline and stands as the tallest bell tower in Austria.Everything about St. Stephen's Cathedral exudes opulence: from the Romanesque and Gothic design of the exterior, to the dominant pointed tower and the finely decorated main roof complete with hundreds of colorful tiles forming an intriguing pattern. The Schonbrunn Gardens are another outstanding part of the Schonbrunn Palace Complex and worthy of a visit. They extend from the Palace for over a kilometer and you could spend hours wandering through the various sections and exhibits. Don't forget to visit at least one of the beautiful museums Vienna has to offer: we recommend the Belvedere Museum, the Natural History Museum, or, if you're looking for a fun-filled day, head to the Prater, where you'll find plenty of rides, a Ferris wheel, and countless stalls.
