Best Places to Visit in Vienna:
Visit the Rathaus! The Rathaus is the City Hall of Vienna, and it's a great place to start your tour of this beautiful city. Located next to the Vienna State Opera House, this building is one of the most iconic structures in all of Europe. While there are many museums within walking distance from here like The Museum of Modern Art or Albertina where you can find thousands upon thousands of paintings, we recommend visiting this historic building first as it's an amazing place to visit on its own merits!
The courtyard surrounding this beautiful building is filled with statues and fountains that make up some very unique architecture. It also has a museum dedicated solely towards telling you about everything that makes up Vienna's past as well as how it got where we are today and if you're lucky enough for sun rays coming through windows at just the right angle then maybe even see some birds fly around above head!
Learn about Vienna's famous Beethoven Museum through Dook’s Vienna Packages. The Beethoven Museum is located in his former home located in Probusgasse 6 in Heiligenstadt. The museum has a collection of his personal items and documents as well as paintings he created. You can also listen to Beethoven's music while you're there!

The unique complex has three palaces for tourists to visit- the Lower Belvedere built in 1712 located at Rennweg 6 and is open from Monday to Sunday (10 am - 6 pm); the Upper Belvedere built in 1717 is placed in Prinz Eugen-Straße 27 and is open to the visitors from Monday to Sunday (10 am - 6 pm); and the Belvedere 21 in Arsenalstraße.
