Schönbrunn Palace is the essential first stop, but the Belvedere with Klimt's The Kiss and an evening classical concert round out the classic Vienna trio. This list ranks them all by traveller reviews.
How many days do you need in Vienna?

Mid-range for a major European capital. Palace and museum tickets are moderately priced, church concerts are good value, and the coffee houses and free old town keep costs down.
