Heading to Vienna from Montpellier? Here are 4 must-do activities during your stay in the Austrian capital

Jardin du Palais de Schonbrunn

1. Explore the city's history

Vienna is renowned for its rich historical heritage. Visiting Vienna means tracing the footsteps of its royal family, including the famous Empress Sissi of Bavaria. Visit the museum dedicated to her or explore the Schönbrunn Palace, where celebrations were once held by the Habsburgs, her in-laws.

Another significant historical site is Mozart's former residence from the 18th century. A trip to Vienna will delight classical music enthusiasts, as the city has been home to or visited by several renowned composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Schubert, Strauss, and Beethoven. Don’t miss the chance to attend an opera while you’re there.

2. Museum-hopping

If you love museums, Vienna is a city you must visit! There are numerous museums catering to all interests: music museums, contemporary art museums, illusion museums, and even a chocolate museum.

You can also visit the famous Madame Tussauds with its wax figures of celebrities.

Ville de Vienne avec le Danube

3. Take a cruise on the Danube

The Danube River flows through ten countries (including Germany, Croatia, and Austria). Enjoy a short cruise, about an hour long, to admire beautiful Vienna from the river. Consider a dinner cruise for a memorable experience.

4. Savor Austrian cuisine

Sweet tooths will enjoy Viennese chocolates and cafes, especially when paired with Sachertorte, a chocolate cake filled with jam. For savory options, try local specialties like Wiener Schnitzel, a breaded veal cutlet served with potatoes.
