Hi everyone!

I started my first backpacking trip tonight, traveling from Stuttgart to Istanbul via Vienna, Belgrade, and Sofia. I just arrived at the main train station and am writing this question while waiting for the metro. Since it's my first time in Vienna, I wanted to ask if anyone has any special recommendations besides the usual tourist attractions. I'm really looking forward to tips on hidden cafés, parks, or simply beautiful streets. Perhaps someone is also in the city and would like to grab a drink with me. I'm planning to stay for 2-3 days.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Lene

Not sure what the usual attractions include. I have no tips regarding cafes.

But the “Haus des Meeres” is worth a visit. It has lots of big aquariums and is a pretty unique building. 

A museum that positivly surprised me is the tram museum. I visited it during the museums night and it was bigger then i expected it to be.
