What to Do in Vienna - My List
I have lived in Vienna for about seven years now, and so I regularly get asked about things to do in Vienna by friends and relatives. Whenever they do so I have trouble coming up with a list in the moment, so this article is an attempt to write some stuff down so I can link to if I get another such request.
This list is work-in-progress, so it does not claim completeness!
