What We Left Out

We intentionally skipped these popular options:

  • Tourist Fiaker rides near Stephansplatz — Overpriced and rushed. Book from hotel concierge for better routes.
  • Mozart dinner concerts in costumes — Cheesy and overpriced for low-quality performances aimed at tourists.
  • Generic walking tours — Vienna is best explored at your own pace or with a private guide.
  • Crowded Naschmarkt at peak hours — Great market, terrible for romance. Go early or skip for quieter options.
