In Vienna, the coffee house isn’t just a hangout: it’s an institution. Lingering over a newspaper with a pastry and a strong espresso drink is, according to UNESCO, officially a Viennese cultural pastime. Walk off your slice of Sachertorte with a self-guided tour of the city’s stunning traditional, Secessionist, and modern architecture, such as the Imperial Palace, the State Opera House, the Kirche am Steinhof, or the Kunsthistorisches Museum, an exercise in ornate geometry.

The Museum of Military History, one of the most important history museums in the world, is situated right in the centre of the Arsenal. About five-hundred years of Austrian and European History are depicted in the collections exhibited in the main building, which has kept its character of an artistic synthesis, making visible, by means of thousands of original exhibits, a part of world cultural heritage. In five major sections the museum shows the history of the Habsburg empire from the end of the 16th century until 1918 and Austria's fate after the dissolution of the monarchy up to the year 1945.
The museum has very rich and detailed exposition which speaks of Austrian military history and shows the progress of Austrian (and European) military uniform and equipment from a Renaissance period to WWII. Great if you're into the subject.If you're not- don't bother.

We travelled on the Subway and then a short tram ride. You will see the cemetary on your right, however wait until the stop where you see the entrance. We were guided by a helpful lady who was headed to the cemetary too. She took it upon herself to ensure we got off st the correct stop. All people in Vienna were extremely attentive and kind. Never once did people not stop to help when one looked perplexef. We spent a couple hours exploring. A map is available at the entrance n/c. There is audio availabke for a small cost. Beautifully maintained. This is wheelchair accessible. A very worthwhile side trip.
