Things to do in Vienna

• St. Stephen's Cathedral

  St. Stephen's Cathedral (more commonly known by its German title: Stephansdom) is the mother church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vienna and the seat of the Archbishop of Vienna, Christoph Cardinal Schönborn, OP. The current Romanesque and Gothic form of the cathedral , seen today in the Stephansplatz, was largely initiated by Duke Rudolf IV (1339–1365) and stands on the ruins of two earlier churches, the first a parish church consecrated in 1147. The most important religious building in Vienna, St. Stephen" s Cathedral has borne witness to many important events in Habsburg and Austrian history and has, with its multi-colored tile roof, become one of the city's most recognizable symbols.

• Tiergarten Schönbrunn

  Tiergarten Schönbrunn (literally, "Schönbrunn Zoo"), or "Vienna Zoo", is a zoo located on the grounds of the famous Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria. Founded as an imperial menagerie in 1752, it is the oldest zoo in the Western world. Today, Tiergarten Schönbrunn is considered and regards itself as a scientifically administered zoo which sees its main purpose as a center for species conservation and general nature conservation as well as in the fulfillment of the education mandate given to it by the legislation. The still preserved buildings of the baroque era, which have been complemented in the last years by elements of modern zoo architecture, still convey a good impression of the 18th century menagerie-buildings after the Versailles model.

• Kunsthistorisches Museum

  The Kunsthistorisches Museum (English: "Museum of Art History", also often referred to as the "Museum of Fine Arts") is an art museum in Vienna, Austria. Housed in its festive palatial building on Ringstraße, it is crowned with an octagonal dome. The term Kunsthistorisches Museum applies to both the institution and the main building. It is the largest art museum in the country.

• Imperial Crypt

  The Imperial Crypt (German: Kaisergruft), also called the Capuchin Crypt (Kapuzinergruft), is a burial chamber beneath the Capuchin Church and monastery in Vienna, Austria. It was founded in 1618 and dedicated in 1632, and located on the Neuer Markt square of the Innere Stadt, near the Hofburg Palace. Since 1633, the Imperial Crypt has been the principal place of entombment for members of the House of Habsburg. The bones of 145 Habsburg royalty, plus urns containing the hearts or cremated remains of four others, are here, including 12 emperors and 18 empresses. The visible 107 metal sarcophagi and five heart urns range in style from puritan plain to exuberant rococo. Some of the dozen resident Capuchin friars continue their customary role as the guardians and caretakers of the crypt, along with their other pastoral work in Vienna. The most recent entombment was in 2011.

One of the first trips we made outside of Germany was a trip to the beautiful capital of Austria. Deciding how to get there wasn't that difficult.

How to get from Munich to Vienna?

By train

Even then, I fell in love with traveling by German railway trains and here’s why: Firstly, trains run daily, several times a day. Secondly, there are non-stop flights that last from 4 to 7 hours. Thirdly, ticket prices are quite reasonable - from 29 euros one way if booked in advance (at least 3-4 weeks before the trip). Tickets can be purchased at ticket offices and vending machines at Munich train stations, as well as online. Here's how to do it (-).

In addition, tickets can be bought on the Austrian railway website www.oebb.at, sometimes they are cheaper there. In addition, unlike Deutsche Bahn, you can buy business class tickets here, just choose a first class ticket and reserve a seat for an additional €15.

Since the flight is international, tickets will have to be printed for presentation.

Departure

All trains depart from Munich Central Railway Station - München Hbf, (at Bayerstraße, 80335 München) almost in the very center of the city. There are a large number of shops and stalls in the station building. There is a food court and restroom facilities, as well as a luggage storage and information desk.

Arrival

Your flight may arrive at various stations, including Wien Hbf, Wien Westbahnhof and Wien Meidling. As is clear from the names, the first station is located in the very center of the city (from there it is easiest to get to any other point in Vienna by public transport), the second is a little to the west, but also not far (5 km from the main one, at the address - Europaplatz 2, 1150 Wien), and the third in the southwest, 5 km from the main one, at Eichenstraße 25, 1120 Wien.

If you know which station is closest to your hotel, or other place you need, simply select it from the list that drops down in the To line.

By bus

The bus is also a good option. The main advantages are that buses run daily, there are non-stop flights, the price can be within 19 -29 euros. Cons - it takes a little longer than the train - from 5.5 to 8 hours. Tickets can be purchased on this website busliniensuche.de

Departure

All buses depart from Munich Central Bus Station (München, ZOB, Hackerbrücke at Arnulfstraße 21, 80335 München). The station building is large and modern (you can check this on their website. Here you can have a snack in a cafe or restaurant, as well as go to various shops.

Buses from various companies arrive at various stations, including Vienna, VIB, U3 Stat.Erdberg (Erdbergstrasse 200A) and Wien, Stadion Center (Busbahnhof), Olympiaplatz 2 1020 Wien.

This information can be checked when purchasing a ticket by clicking on the plus sign to the left of the flight.

By plane

This option will be much more expensive - 65 euros one way, about 130 euros return (on Lufthansa flights). But it will only take you an hour to get to Vienna.

So, you can choose any of these methods according to your personal preference. For me personally, the train is the ideal combination of speed, comfort and reasonable price.
