Two day Vienna itinery

This is a little folder, targeted at short-time visitors, giving you a good overview of the main sights in the very center of Vienna, proposing two city walks. (Ignore the last page, which is not up to date, as this folder has not been renewed since and is out of print.)

The Kunsthistorisches Museum is very large. I think it will be difficult to see it (even rather quickly) after the Schonbrunn Palace and finish up before lunch on Tuesday. They're more than 2.5 miles apart. Public transit in Vienna is excellent, but Google estimates the trip will take 30-40 minutes, with some walking required.

The library is only about 1/2 mile from the Kunsthistorisches Museum. It's about 1.5 miles from the Hundertwasser House (in a completely different direction).

My opinion:

Schönbrunn Palace will take up most of Tuesday morning. KHM will take up most of the afternoon.

Its not always about quantity, it can be about quality and interest. If the Kunsthistorisches Museum takes 4 hours to tour, but you spend 2 rewarding hours, then you chose wisely. Likewise if 2 destinations 45 min apart live with you for years to come, it beats 5 sort of "good" places all together. Its why its so hard to plan.

wmt1-thank you! The two city walks will be helpful!

acraven-yes, I will move lunch to after Schronbunn Palace, and give us more time to arrive to the KHM. I thought we would keep moving east to the Hunderwasser House, which would be closer to where we dock.

Dave- I appreciate this. We will move the Austria National library to Monday.

Mr. E-exactly! It's so hard planning! We like to see alot but also don't want to be rushed the whole time. Our days will be busy at port then several afternoons and most evenings with relaxing sailings.
