You need to devote a whole day to walking around the 19th district of Vienna - Döbling. This is the most picturesque suburb of Vienna. It stretches from the Danube Canal to the slopes of the Vienna Woods. Döbling includes the residential areas of Sievering, Grinzing, Heiligenstadt, Nussdorf and Kahlenberg. There are many parks, vineyards and, of course, wine taverns - heurigers. Grinzing's taverns are especially popular.
Heiligenstadt and other districts of Döbling reveal the secret to Vienna's charm: the Austrian capital is, in essence, several villages built around the Old Town. And these villages allow you to relax perfectly, disconnect from the hustle and bustle of metropolis life.
Take tram 37 from Fotivkirche and Schottentor (or metro line 4 to the terminus) to Heiligenstadt, the center of Beethoven's Vienna.
On the way, you can stop at the House of the Eroic Symphony, where Beethoven played in 1803-1804. worked on the Heroic Symphony. You can also visit Villa Wertheimstein, an architectural masterpiece in the Biedermeier style. Today it is a museum in which the atmosphere of the 19th century has been recreated. The villa is surrounded by a wonderful English garden.
To conclude your walk around Heiligenstadt, visit a local park. See the Beethoven monument at Pfarrplatz 2. It's the most beautiful house from those in which the composer lived in Vienna. Take bus 38A to house number 6 on Probusgasse, where in 1802 the composer wrote the tragic Heiligenstadt Testament, in which he told his brothers that he was deaf. Today it houses the Beethoven Museum.
Hohenstrasse
To explore the hills and forests north of the city, take bus 38A from the Heiligenstadt metro stop along Hohenstrasse to Kahlenberg and Leopoldsberg, on the northern slopes of the Vienna Woods. Along the way you will be able to admire magnificent views Austrian capital and its suburbs. If time permits, get off at a stop and take a walk around the area.
Hohenstrasse will take you to Kahlenberg. From the end of the 18th century. Luxurious summer villas were built on the hills of Kahlenberg, where the Viennese nobility could relax from the city heat and bustle. On particularly hot days in July 1809, Viennese aristocrats could witness the Battle of Wagram between Napoleonic troops and the Austrian army. Sipping cold wine, they watched as 40 thousand Austrians and 34 thousand French died on the other side of the Danube.
Hohenstrasse reaches Leopoldsberg, located on the edge of the Vienna Woods. The eastern foothills of the European Alps begin here. On a clear day from the Leopoldskirche you can see the Carpathians 100 km away, in Slovakia.
Klosterneuburg
7 km to the north is the picturesque Augustinian Abbey of Klosterneuburg. According to legend, it was founded by Duke Leopold III Babenberg in 1106 on the site where hunting dogs found the veil lost by his bride. In fact, the abbey is much older, but almost nothing has survived from the first buildings. In the 18th century Charles VI, who was very closely associated with Spain, reconstructed the complex, wanting to create a Baroque version of the Escorial. He wanted to combine a palace and a church with nine domes topped with the coat of arms of the House of Habsburg. During Charles’s lifetime, only two were erected: on one of them, the larger one, the coat of arms of the empire was installed, and on the other, the coat of arms of the Austrian Archduchy.
Klosterneuburg is also a museum of modern art. The Essl Museum is located here. This private collection features works by Austrian avant-garde artists as well as their American and European contemporaries. The baroque appearance of the abbey makes a huge impression, but most striking is the Leopold Chapel with the magnificent Verdun altar of 1181. It contains 45 enamel plates depicting biblical scenes. This illustrated Bible was intended for illiterate peasants.
It often happens that the most picturesque and interesting places for a particularly meticulous traveler are not in the city whose airport is most convenient to fly into.

Buses depart from Mirabell Platz. You can go to the ice caves and Hitler's eagle's nest and just... beautiful places visit the mountains and lakes.

No, this is Baden in the Vienna Woods. ;-))

You shouldn't be doing that! Very nice town.
We went there on an excursion and later regretted that we were given very little free time. You can accomplish much more on your own.
80 kilometers from Vienna there is a very cozy town of Puchberg am Schneeberg, from the station of which you can take a train to climb a mountain 2047 meters high in an hour. Yesterday we were lucky with the weather, but not entirely with visibility: it was shrouded in gray clouds on all sides. There were a lot of people, having arrived at 11 o’clock, we managed to get tickets only for 13:30. Before departure we walked around the city, and in front of the station there is a beautiful pond with clear water where trout swim in schools.

Dear experts and lovers of Linz!
If you come to this town for 3 hours, is it possible during this time to walk from the station to Hauptplatz, from there take a tram (or is it a train) or something else to Pöstlingberg and return to the station?
There is also an option for 5 hours, but with the 3-hour option it is more convenient to return.
Claret-with-Karl
Regarding Puchberg am Schneeberg. I looked at the train schedule. From the South Station, the fare on regional trains is 15.70 Oiro for an adult. But for some reason the site doesn’t show the price of Schulenticket.
And another question: did you take travel there and back on the spot? Why else is there only one way travel available? If you take a round trip ticket, is the return departure time strictly specified?
Thanks in advance.
Another place where you can go for 1 day from Vienna is the city of Eisenstadt. Eisenstadt. If you’ve already visited Salzburg, Baden and Krems, but still want to go to Austria :), then it’s interesting there too. Small old town. Haydn and Esterhazy lived there.
http://www.eisenstadt.gv.at/en/tourism.html
What's the difference? And Haydn lived there and Esterhazy lived there too.
in my opinion, everything is correct. :)
No. I should have written "Haydn and Esterhazy lived there."
But is Haydn buried there?

Because there is a great opportunity to go down or up on foot. Many people do this.
Quote:
The train was packed when we were there. Maximum quantity people on the train - 110. Available seats We were on the mountain in only 2.5 hours. We were told that if we wanted to go down by train, we could stay there either one hour (which is very little) or 4 hours (which is a lot for two children). There were no more seats on the other downward flights.
But when the top is in the clouds, the train is empty, and no one wants to go there, because nothing can be seen from there. Therefore it is difficult to predict.
