And size-wise it's pretty intimidating (after all, it has a population of 2.5 mill--somewhere between Chicago and Houston in US terms). Outside of the first district, you can usually rely on the numbers of the buildings (numbers increase the further you go from the center of the city, so no matter where you are, if the numbers are decreasing then you are getting a step closer to Stephansdom). The outer districts were planned that way, but because the first district is within the old city walls, it's a nightmare of a maze. Though sometimes it's fun to get lost just to see what you can discover. :) Vienna is confusing, especially in the first district!

I was trying to go from Vienna to Salzburg using one, and we ended up at a sign saying "Willkommen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland". and then, no worries. Vienna is strange and I ALWAYS get lost even though I've been going there for 20 years! first, don’t rely on the GPS thingies… I was trying to go from Vienna to Salzburg using one, and we ended up at a sign saying “Willkommen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland”.
