What's actually left of medieval Vienna, which doors open, and what a locked church usually means. Museum Judenplatz, the Gothic churches, the old-town lanes — with hours, costs and the closures nobody mentions.
Where to go once the first district is done — the neighbourhoods, markets, buildings and green space that start where the Ring ends.
Which Vienna museum to choose if you only have time for one, what the big names actually cost, and how many museums realistically fit into a day.
How standing room actually works, when seats go on sale, and what the guided tour gets you if you are not seeing a performance.
Which of the two Belvedere palaces you actually want, how to reach The Kiss before the room fills, and what else is worth your time upstairs.
There's no single Hofburg ticket and no main entrance. What's actually inside, what each part costs, and how to choose the two worth your afternoon.
