On route from the U.S. to Greece, we made the most of a 23-hour layover in Vienna. This brief but memorable visit not only introduced us to a beautiful city but also reminded us why we love Europe so much—breathtaking architecture, history at every turn, and delicious food and wine.
During our whirlwind visit to Vienna we had just enough time to…
Tour the Hofburg Imperial Palace, once the Hapsburgs’ winter home, inside and out
Take in a Bach and Vivaldi concert at St. Peter’s Cathedral
Stroll the city streets
Dine in the atmospheric cellar restaurant Brezlg’woelb
And catch just enough shuteye before jumping back on an airplane to our next incredible destination: Santorini, Greece.
Everywhere Once 
Thank you for the praise and pictures of my beautiful capital city Vienna.
Sending love Greetings from Austria ❤ Lis

You fit so much in, and had a sleep too?! Most people would have just pottered about wasting time until the next flight – I much prefer your way 🙂

I’m so impressed by how much you managed to do! I spent my 4 hour layover in Vienna sleeping in a corner of the airport. 🙂

Vienna is full of history, (a bit wet and cold when we visited) with fantastic museums and buildings.to explore. We found the public transport very easy to use.
Also took a day trip in mini bus to Prague, driver then became our guide, glad he took time out to take a nap, before driving back to Vienna. Paul
