Forget the guidebooks by Manara
A thing every visitor should do in Vienna, at least for a half day (a full day would be even better) is to put aside maps and guidebooks and wander about the streets of the old city centre (the area enclosed within the avenues of the Ring and the Donaukanal). In this smallish area there is such a number of beautiful buildings and statues, churches, picturesque corners, elegant shops and nice cafes that you are not allowed to use the word "serendipity" when you describe your "discoveries".
