Seccession Building

posted by hlaborde on 18 August 2010 at 11:56

This building was constructed to comemorate the seccession movement of artists moving away from the Vienna Accademy. Its a really beautiful building with ornate carvings and relief work running round the walls. Its most recognisable by its ornate golden dome. Its quite overpriced to get in, and the only thing really worth seeing is the Beethoven frieze by Klimt in the basement. That said, it is an incredible and completely iconic piece.

Vienna House

posted by lrobinson on 18 August 2010 at 11:49

If you get to the opera house at 10 o'clock or so, you can queue for a couple of hours to get a standing ticket for that evening's performance. The tickets only cost three euros and even though you don't get a seat, you can survive by leaning against a railing. The opera house is absolutely vast and amazingly beautiful inside.

Hill of the Three Crosses

posted by pschuth on 18 August 2010 at 11:46

The Hill of the three crosses is a spot just outside town comemorating the martyrdom of three orthodox monks. You can walk up without too much difficulty and from the top, you get great views out over the town.

The Presidential palace is a beautiful white building and has been graced by the likes of Napoleon and Alexander I in the past. Definately worth seeing.

Genocide Victims Museum

posted by wtillson on 18 August 2010 at 11:35

This museum is contained in the building that the KGB used as a prison and interrogation centre during the occupation. Its really quite upsetting and especially moving to see the cells in the basement which are kept perectly in tact, including the wet rooms and other interrogation rooms.
