Morning
Starting off by admiring the impressive Staatsoper (see pp30–31), cut your way through Operngasse to the Secession Building (see pp32–3). The stunning Beethoven Frieze inside this Art Nouveau building shouldn’t be missed. The Akademie der bildenden Künster (see p109) is just a stone’s throw from Olbrich’s Secessionist masterpiece and is also worth an hour or two, particularly for its fine Rubens paintings.
For a coffee, head for the refurbished Café Museum (see p114), first designed by Adolf Loos in 1899.
Walk towards Naschmarkt (see p109) and roam the market with all its stalls and lively atmosphere, casting a glance over the road to the Theater an der Wien, the Majolika Haus (see p109) and the Wagner Haus.
For lunch choose from one of the cafés or restaurants on Naschmarkt such as the Do An (see p115).
Afternoon
Make your way up to Mariahilfer Strasse and spend the rest of the afternoon leisurely looking around the many shops.
Stay in the area for the evening and either attend a classical opera performance in the Staatsoper or see a musical in the Theater an der Wien. But whichever of the two entertainment venues you choose, make sure you have booked your tickets in advance.
