The Danube Tower: Donaturum
Rising majestically from Danube Park and dominating the landscape for miles around the Danube Tower and cannot be missed. At 826 ft (252m), this the best place to get a birds eye view of Vienna (unless you hire a plane or helicopter and sadly this option was somewhat out of my price range). It was constructed from 3,750 cubic meters of concrete and 514 tons of steel was used as reinforcement.

The gothic cathedral of St Stephen’s is located in the very centre of the city. It was damaged and rebuilt twice (during the Turkish siege in 1683 and at the end of World War II). It has just one tower, the second tower has never been completed (rumors say that they ran out of money in the Middle Age).
Every visitor to Vienna should of course see the cathedral, and you might want to climb the tower or to walk down into the catacombs where the hearts of the emporors are buried, as well as the bones of many thousand Austrians who died from the plague some hundred years ago.
