How to Spend 3 Days in Vienna (Updated 2025)

"Built in Romanesque and Gothic styles and standing since the 12th century, the Stephansdom impressed me with its colorful roof of 230,000 glazed tiles and an ornately decorated interior featuring high archways, vaulted ceilings, numerous statues and paintings, and two beautiful altars (the 17th-century High Altar and the 15th-century Wiener Neustadt Altar); I appreciated its long, turbulent history (including reconstruction after WWII) and note practical visitor details like the guided- and audio-tour options, tower climbs, catacomb tours, and the need to dress respectfully since it is still a place of worship." - Matthew Kepnes
