Vienna Guide 3.0.0.0
In case you do not have the time to do this some days or weeks ahead, there are plenty of online and offline resource that can help you carry out this activity even while you are on your way, so you can try an app suggestively called Vienna Guide.
Clean and easy to use interface
The application brings a somewhat different perspective as its interface is built around the map of the Austrian capital city and there are not many elements of design that could pass as attractive.
The navigation on the map has a quite fluent feel to it in both modes the app comes with, namely the aerial and road views. Nonetheless, there is a slight delay that occurs when the app starts, as it takes a while to load all the data.
Search for the places to see and identify them in two ways
The application allows you to check out the landmarks in Vienna's area by browsing the complete list of places it has in store. To activate it you just have to tap the corresponding button from the main menu placed in the lower side of the screen.
Alternately, you have the possibility to view the exact location on the map and tap the number on the markers to reveal the names of those spots.
In-depth descriptions for each location
Vienna Guide displays a good deal of details concerning any of the entries on the list of places or when you make a selection from the map shown inside the main screen. The data is taken from one of the most reliable online sources out there, Wikipedia.
In case you want to check out the original page, there is a link included inside each article and on the source page you can get a lot more details, including transportation information, extra historical references and others.

With a relatively plain, but efficacious GUI, this utility offers a good perspective of the city and a fluent navigation from end to end. |
Function9
The utility offers a good deal of details for each location it includes in its database and there are quite a few places to check out. |

This is a quite useful tool to have, as it offers free of all costs and nuisances a lot of information about one of the most visited cities in Europe. |
