For paintings, I enjoyed my visit to "Kunsthistorisches Museum"=lots of paintings from 15th century and later (even the building itself is quite impressive) - Karine (Belgium)
Place to go if you are in Vienna - love the tourist and the fact that you pay the same at the big chain stores here
Stunning. And perfect to walk around with your loved ones =) Heldenplatz Square - dedicated to the victory over Napoleon
I recommend the tour through the opera - goes for about 45 minutes - thus doable. It's quite interesting to see the backstage area which is three times as large as the opera guest area...
Now a museum, this is the place where the composer lived for a couple of years. Located at the Old Town, and just a few minutes away from St. Stephen's Cathedral.
