Vienna Quick Guide｜A Least Favorite European City

Last weekend, I spent two days exploring Vienna. The attractions in Vienna are quite concentrated, and if you don’t buy tickets to enter the sites, you can basically see all the major attractions in the city center in just one morning. 🍃 Itinerary Day 1: Started around 10:30 a.m. St. Peter's Church ➡️ Plague Column ➡️ St. Stephen's Cathedral ➡️ Anker Clock ➡️ Heroes' Square Hofburg (the Imperial Treasury and Sisi Museum are nearby, but we weren’t interested) ➡️ Natural History Museum ➡️ Golden Hall (attended an 8:30 p.m. performance) Day 2: Started around 10:30 a.m. Schönbrunn Palace ➡️ Bought fridge magnets ➡️ Spent most of the afternoon at McDonald’s 🍃 Food Vienna’s specialty is fried schnitzel, but since we didn’t want to waste a meal on bland Western food, we skipped it. Instead, we ate Chinese food, McDonald’s, or kebab every meal. Here are two Chinese restaurants I recommend: 1️⃣ Chen’s Noodles (search "chen‘s noodles" on Google Maps) 2️⃣ Juli Chinese Kitchen Chen’s Noodles has delicious beef noodles. Juli Kitchen mainly serves rice noodles, but the broth was a bit bland. I highly recommend Chen’s Noodles. There’s also a bubble tea shop called Ichiban. I ordered the brown sugar pearl tea with half sugar, but it was still a bit sweet. Still, it was comforting to have a warm drink on a cold day. 🍃 Transportation You can buy transportation tickets offline or through the öbb app. The app offers 24/48/72-hour tickets or single-ride tickets. A 48-hour ticket costs around 14 euros. If you’re only exploring the city center, you can easily walk everywhere, so you might not even need a ticket. Alternatively, single-ride tickets might be cheaper. The fridge magnets were bought at a store called World of Souvenir, right across from St. Stephen's Cathedral. #TravelGuide #Vienna #Europe
