About Vienna
Vienna moves at a cultured, unhurried pace. Mornings are for the Hofburg, Schönbrunn and the Kunsthistorisches Museum; afternoons belong to coffeehouses like Café Sperl and Café Hawelka, where one coffee buys you an hour with the newspapers. Graze the stalls of the Naschmarkt, ride the trams around the Ringstrasse, and escape to the Prater's chestnut avenues when the grandeur gets too much. On warm evenings, head out to the Heurigen in Grinzing for new wine among the vineyards.
Best time: April–June, September–October
