We were in Vienna for the month of March last year. We had a lovely apartment three blocks from St. Stephen’s. Public transportation is terrific.
Our top recommendations are to take the tram and then walk up to the top of the city where the vineyards are. Amazing views, and a great hike with the dogs. Have a hotdog at ubiquitous hotdog stands. And don’t forget to check out the Klimt collection at the Belvedere museum.
The Viennese pastry tour with Wulfi via AirBnB Experiences is the best. We also took a side trip to Bratislava for a few days.
Bretzl in the Juden plaza is old fashioned authentic Viennese food. The Lippizanners are pricey but fun. Best just to go to the stables if you can.
These are excellent suggestions - thank you! Unfortunately we've timed our arrival in Vienna for a full week of rain. But we'll take our rain coats and umbrellas and do our best to see the sights.
Wonderful! You two will have a great time in this part of Europe. My wife and I started late March in Prague, then Vienna and Budapest (after only one in beautiful Bratislava) and we are now in Romania where we will be two months! We are loving Romania (less tourists, low cost, easy leaving). Trains are a little slow but we don't mind. You two gave my wife and I the last push to embrace the traveling slow lifestyle, many thanks!
That's wonderful -- glad to hear that we were able to give you a tiny nudge towards the nomadic lifestyle! And it sounds like now we're following in your footsteps as we tour central Europe (currently in Vienna). Do keep us posted on your highlights from Romania. We'll be heading there in July for two months as well.

It is a wonderful and walkable city.

We were there in the snow. . . You can do it!

Safe travels! Hug, Prague for me!
We gave Prague a quick hug, spent five days hiking through the Bohemian Paradise and suddenly find ourselves in Vienna!
Glad to be here! More soon as we made our way from Vienna to Bratislava and onward.
