Morning
Start your day at Karlsplatz, where you can inspect the Otto Wagner pavilions in Resselpark and then walk on to the Karlskirche (see pp26–7). Left of the church is the Historisches Museum der StadtWien (see p43), where you could easily spend a few hours studying the city’s history. Don’t miss the Klimt and Schiele paintings, as well as Adolf Loos’s original living room from 1903.
Head towards Argentinierstrasse, right of Karlskirche, where you can enjoy a coffee in the Radiocafé (see p120).
Walk east to the Liberation Monument then take Rennweg and pass by Otto Wagner’s Palais Hoyos. For lunch pop into Salm Bräu (see p120).
Afternoon
It is now time to head for the Belvedere (see pp22–5) where you could easily spend the rest of the day. After having a look at the medieval collection in the Lower Belvedere, walk through the formal gardens towards the imposing Upper Belvedere, home to the Austrian National Gallery with many Schiele, Klimt, Gerstl and Attersee paintings. For a little rest you can enjoy the peaceful Alpine Gardens.
If you are not too tired, you should consider attending a concert in the Konzerthaus (see p60) but you need to book the tickets a day in advance.
