Having been in Vienna before for a rushed 36 hrs, I planned four nights for this trip. Following extensive research I selected Hotel Erzherzog Rainer(https://www.hotelerzherzograiner.wien/en/index.html) for my stay. We hit the jackpot - lovely place in a wonderful neighborhood and very close to the underground (Ubahn). The underground system in Vienna is very efficient, easy to navigate, and you can easily visit the sites.
Bought the Week pass. For our visit we opted out of the Opera and Palace tourist sights and wanted to go off the beaten path after first, a visit to the amazing St Stephen”s cathedral. We climbed the south tower (343 steps) for great views, followed by the crypt and wonderful self guided audio tour of the inside of the cathedral.
Our second adventure was a return visit to the Old Danube for lunch on a self driven couch boat, followed by a stop at the Central Cemetery... Beethoven's final resting place.
On our final day we took on the subway U-2 line and located all the amazing artifacts at different stations, from art to motor cars and a space capsule. A stop at the roller coaster restaurant where you can get served by a roller coaster and ended the day visiting all the dead at the Capuchin cry.
The Nachmarlet was visited twice in the evening... lots of restaurants there to choose from, but our best meal was at the SOLD out hotel restaurant which is SOLD out nightly.
