Architecture in Vienna
Vienna reads like a centuries-spanning picture book of architecture. The imperial Hofburg and the Gothic St. Stephen’s Cathedral speak of the old empire, the baroque Karlskirche of its splendour, and the MuseumsQuartier shows how Vienna sets the historic beside the modern. For greenery and grandeur, wander the Augarten or along the Donaukanal, where facades dissolve into street art. These are our picks for anyone who wants to understand Vienna through its buildings.
