We just spent 3 lovely days in Vienna. Our teens no longer enjoy sightseeing in bus cities like they used to (or used to tolerate). So we tried to find some options that would appeal to them and these are some of the highlights!

Cozy cafe in a historic hotel. When in Vienna, this is THE place for a piece of Sacher Torte (chocolate cake) and a traditional Viennese coffee!
Café Sacher
Casual restaurant with pub style fare. Food was good and reasonably priced.
Restaurant Bier & Bierli

Computer und Gaming Museum Wien

Museum der Illusionen
When we were there in early November, they were building up the Christmas market. While we didn’t get to visit, you can already see that it’ll be lovely. Aside from Christmas time, the palace and gardens are nice to visit
Schoenbrunn
Fun to walk the Mariahilfestr. Here you can people watch, grab a coffee and a snack as well as shop. Teens will enjoy shops like Bershka, Tally Weijl, Pull & Bear and H&M (among others)
