Vienna State Opera
The grandiose architectural wonder that is the Vienna State Opera is an absolute must-see.

The breathtaking façade of Schönbrunn Palace is a sight not to be missed. One of the key tourist attractions in Vienna, the palace has 1,441 rooms, 45 of which are open to the public, and shows off the opulence akin to Versailles.

Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996, Schönbrunn Palace is the site of the oldest zoo ever created, the Privy Garden, and the Rococo-oriental styled Room of the Millions.

Giant Ferris Wheel
Taking a family trip to Vienna is not complete without visiting the Giant Ferris Wheel in the Prater, an amusement park close to the Danube. When you ride the Giant Ferris Wheel, you get to catch a glimpse of the entire city. It was featured in the 1949 film, The Third Man, which starred Orson Wells.

Melk Abbey
The legendary monastery Melk Abbey is located on a cliff that overlooks the Danube River. Leopold II once used it as his stronghold castle before bequeathing it to the monks. Melk Abbey was one of the grandest exemplars of Baroque architecture during its time.
