Trips to Vienna almost always lead you to Stephansplatz, the main city square where you find the enormous gothic church - St. Stephens Cathedral.

İt is touristic square which you can hug history and shoping.I have to mention that the new hotel located opposite of St Stephan is just ruining the historical charm.
