=== What to see ===
==== Downtown Vienna ===

Even though Vienna is also along the Danube, the main area of Vienna is not along the river like in Budapest, therefore a river cruise doesn't make much sense.
And this is only a few pieces of downtown Vienna...
 
==== Schoenbrunn Palace ====
Take subway #4 ('''U4''') to the Schonbrunn station, and follow the signs (and the masses) towards the '''Schoenbrunn Palace'''. This will take the better part of a day.
Walk up the hill to the '''Gloriette''' and have a coffee there while marveling at the gardens and palace below, make sure you get into the palace to see the Great Gallery, and spend a 1/2 a day wondering how it must have been felt to be a king.
 
==== Zentralfriedhof (central cemetery) ====
To get back to earth, you could take a trip to the Vienna central cemetery. This is not a joke, may famous people (Beethoven, Boltzmann, etc) are buried here and have real monuments here as their tomb stones. However, even though the name is "central cemetery", it's actually quite a bit outside of Vienna. You take the subway #6 ("U6") to "Zentralfriedhof, 2. Tor", and with some wandering around, will find quite a number of people whose names you know. Be warned: This place is '''HUGE'''.
 
==== Back to Vienna ===
If you want to find some good restaurants and bars in Vienna, the area along the Danube channel has some good places. Take the subway to "Schwedenplatz" (either U1 or U4), and take a walk up the channel.
