🏰 Exploring Stephansplatz – The Beating Heart of Vienna 🇦🇹✨ 📍 What is Stephansplatz? Stephansplatz is Vienna’s central square and the city’s most iconic gathering point. It’s where history, architecture, shopping, and street life come together — and it’s home to St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom), a stunning Gothic masterpiece that dominates the skyline. 🗺 What to See & Do: ⛪️ St. Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) Climb the South Tower (343 steps!) or take the elevator to the North Tower for breathtaking city views. Visit the catacombs beneath the cathedral for a spooky peek into the past. Don’t miss the colorful tiled roof — it’s a symbol of Vienna! 🛍 Graben & Kärntner Straße These pedestrian streets leading off the square are perfect for shopping, window browsing, and grabbing a Viennese snack. You’ll find everything from luxury boutiques to classic souvenir shops. ☕️ Cafés & Street Performers Stop by Café Aida or Café Hawelka nearby for a coffee and pastry. Enjoy the vibe: from live classical music to opera-costumed performers, there’s always something happening. 🏛 Historic Buildings Check out the Pestsäule (Plague Column) on Graben, built to commemorate the end of the 1679 plague. Look out for the Haas House, a bold modernist building right across from the cathedral — creating an iconic contrast. 🚇 Getting There: Stephansplatz Station (U1 & U3 lines) drops you right in the square. Walkable from most central Vienna sights. 📸 Photo Tips: Capture the cathedral at sunrise for fewer crowds and golden light. Stand near the Haas House to get the reflection of Stephansdom in the glass. 🕐 Best Time to Visit: Morning for a quiet stroll.

Vienna, the city of music and art, boasts numerous architectural marvels. Among the churches and castles, one must-visit spot featured in every travel guide is the Hundertwasserhaus, designed by the famous Austrian painter and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser. (Vienna is also home to the Spittelau incineration plant, another unique structure designed by Hundertwasser.) The Hundertwasserhaus, with its vibrant colors, whimsical charm, and fairytale-like appearance, is a sight to behold. The colorful tiles, curved walls, and undulating floors create a striking asymmetrical beauty. The roof and terraces are adorned with lush greenery, adding to its dreamlike quality. Four main features of Hundertwasserhaus: ✓ No straight lines in the architecture, only irregular shapes. ✓ Bright colors and ceramic decorations. ✓ Cartoon-like asymmetrical windows. ✓ Vertical forests on the roof and terraces. However, the Hundertwasserhaus is still a residential building, so visitors can only admire its exterior. Nearby, the Kunst Haus Wien offers a glimpse into the secrets of the Hundertwasserhaus interior.

📍Belvedere Palace Since it is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is a must-visit place when traveling to Vienna! A place I always visit whenever I travel to Vienna..❤️ Belvedere is divided into the upper palace, lower palace, and garden! The upper palace is where the famous Klimt's Kiss and Egon Schiele's works are located. When you enter the interior, you will be first amazed by the gorgeous decorations and sculptures, and then admire the famous works and be amazed twice! Since there are so many wonderful works, I think it took more than 2 hours just to look around.🥹 The lower palace is where Duke Eugene actually lived. In fact, since it is a place to see works, it takes a lot of time to just look around the upper palace and garden. The lower palace was..?!! The garden is decorated gorgeously, so I recommend taking a walk around it.🙂 + They sell a lot of small items that are good to buy as gifts at the souvenir shop! The works are used as backgrounds to create a desire to collect them.. It's okay to buy one as a gift or for your own collection. #March travel support event #European travel #Overseas travel

#2月好去地方2025 Vienna is indeed the capital of art. Even the garbage incinerator can be so beautiful! The Spittelau Incinerator, a power plant in Vienna, was created by the famous artist Hundertwasser. Located in the Danube Canal area at the northernmost end of Vienna, it can be reached from the Spittelau subway station. The original traditional gray exterior wall was given a bright and lively childlike image after Mr. Hundertwasser's renovation. Probably no one would have thought that this bright and peculiar building was actually an incinerator! The colorful exterior, the golden ball control tower on the chimney, the green roof and the planted trees coexist harmoniously with nature, demonstrating the concept of environmental symbiosis and overturning the stereotype of incinerators. After the transformation, it has become a famous tourist attraction, which is very suitable for checking in and taking photos. One third of Vienna's garbage is processed through the Spittelau incinerator, and the heat energy generated by the incineration is supplied to nearby residents and schools. In Maishu, Osaka, Japan, there is also a garbage disposal site designed by Mr. Shiramizu. It is also a creation that combines art with environmental protection, and it is worth visiting and taking photos. #EasternEuropeFreeTravel #AustriaTravel #Vienna

When we checked into our apartment in Vienna, the staff recommended a local restaurant, Das Kolin, which is located in the neighborhood, at the intersection of Kolingasse and Wassagasse. The Kolin sign is quite prominent, making it easy to find. The restaurant offers authentic Austrian cuisine, primarily pork-based dishes, with a touch of Italian influence, making it quite delicious. The three of us ordered shrimp tomato pasta, beetroot risotto, and grilled chicken salad, all of which were generously portioned. The pasta and risotto had a slight firmness, giving them a nice texture, and the seasoning was very harmonious, quite suitable for Asian tastes, and very tasty.

Visit Vienna's Naschmarkt, which is known for its fresh fruits and vegetables, dried goods, and Middle Eastern food. Although it's an outdoor market, it's quite clean and bright. As we wandered around and got hungry, we decided to grab a bite at the Middle Eastern restaurant 'NENI am Naschmarkt' for a market brunch. Middle Eastern food is quite novel. Since we didn't have a reservation, we were seated outdoors, but thankfully there were umbrellas to provide shade. The Jerusalem plate is a very Middle Eastern dish, with ingredients like yogurt, tomatoes, hummus, chicken, and sesame leaves, all wrapped in flatbread. It's like a Middle Eastern burger! NENI am Naschmarkt prides itself on healthy and natural food, offering many vegetarian and light dishes. We ordered the purple rice quinoa, paired with grilled asparagus and beef tomatoes, which was very healthy, delicious, and refreshing. Enjoying Middle Eastern cuisine in the open-air seating of Vienna's market is definitely a unique experience. Overall, it was delicious.

The most famous flea market in Vienna is the one next to the Naschmarkt. It is open only every Saturday. For those who love treasure hunting, looking for vintage items, or simply want to experience the local market atmosphere, this is definitely a place worth visiting. The market is lined with stalls selling a wide variety of items, from antique silver and fine porcelain from the 19th century to old photos from World War II, vinyl records, old clocks, and even some unique Viennese statuettes. The flea market is located next to Vienna's most representative Naschmarkt, which is another feast for the senses, selling exotic spices, fresh fruits and vegetables, and local snacks. If you are tired of shopping, you may want to find a restaurant or cafe in the market, sit down, order some authentic food, and leisurely enjoy this time-staggered market experience. It would be a good idea to put a perfect end to this flea market trip. #February2025 #Vienna

A must-try local classic dish in Vienna is the 'Wiener Schnitzel'. This seemingly simple hand-pounded pork cutlet is thin yet large and solid. It is coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried to a golden, tempting color. When you cut into it, the aroma is irresistible, and with the first bite, the meat is juicy and tender. Vienna's traditional cuisine truly lives up to its reputation. After visiting the Belvedere Palace (Schloss Belvedere) and on the way back to the hotel, I stumbled upon this delightful restaurant 'Restaurant Sperl' in the alleys of Karolinengasse. The facade may seem small, but inside, it opens up to a hidden courtyard garden. The indoor seating is elegantly and tastefully decorated. I simply ordered a Wiener Schnitzel with beer. Vienna is truly a city full of charm and artistic atmosphere, with postcard-like natural scenery and rich cultural and artistic buildings. The food is also delicious, making it a perfect destination to visit in any season.
