From Westbahnhof train station you can reach the Stephansplatz by taking U3 metro to Stephansplatz downtown. Takes you in 10 min. 

1. Domkirche St. Stephan in Stephansplatz. Dating from the 12th century, St. Stephan's Cathedral is the grandest such edifice in Austria. The basilica is filled with such treasures as the carved wooden Wiener Neustadt altarpiece and the tomb of Emperor Frederick III. To cap your visit, climb its south tower with its 343 spiral steps for the most panoramic view in all of Vienna. If you're not up to that, you can take an elevator to the top of the north tower, which was never completed. The view isn't quite as spectacular, but you'll save your legs. After a tour of the cathedral, you can stroll up the pedestrian-only

2. Kärntnerstrasse – biggest shopping and pedestrian street
Kärntnerstrasse will lead you to the imposing:

3. Staatsoper (main sight of Vienna) With its elegant arcades, this is Austria's leading opera house. Some of the world's greatest music -- often from fabled Austrian composers of yesterday -- is presented here in this French Renaissance-style building, one of the first of the great public buildings to be erected along the Ringstrasse . The main façade was all that was left when the building burned in the closing months of World War II in 1945. But everything has been handsomely restored With the time remaining in your day, you can head for the Ringstrasse - Vienna Ring Road or visit a Palace Complex. 

4. Ringstrasse The Ring Road is a circular road surrounding the Innere Stadt district of Vienna, Austria and is one of its main sights. Its architecture is typical of the eclectic, historicist style called Ringstraßenstil of the 1860s to 1890s. Includes lots of historical buildings along the way. 

4. Hofburg Palace Complex Depending on where you are in the city, the U-Bahn to Stephansplatz can take you here, as well as the U-Bahn to Herrengasse or Mariahilferstrasse. This was the winter palace of the Habsburgs, who ruled over much of Europe from here. There is so much to see and do that you can't take it all in in 1 day. But the main attractions are Albertina, Augustinerkirche, Kaiserappartments (Imperial Apartments), and the magnificent Schatzkammer (Imperial Treasury).  
Albertina Originally part of an Augustinian monastery, this 18th-century palace houses Austria's celebrated Collection of Graphic Arts. More than a million sheets -- old masters' drawings, engravings, and architectural designs -- illustrate this development of graphic arts since the 1300s. The highlight of the collection is a series of drawings and engravings by Dürer. 
Augustinerkirche The 14th century Church of the Augustinians, built within the Hofburg complex, was the parish church for the imperial Habsburgs. In 1748 the baroque interior decoration and all the original Gothic architectural details were removed. The highlight of the church today is the elaborate tomb of the Archduchess Maria Christina, favorite daughter of Maria Theresa. The Italian sculptor, Canova, slaved over the white marble mausoleum from 1805 to 1809. 
Kaiserappartements The Imperial Apartments are on the first floor of the Chancellery Wing. Actually, there are 2,600 rooms in the Hofburg, but only 20 are open to visitors. The emperors, along with their wives and children, lived here; mistresses were stashed elsewhere. The apartments are richly decorated, the highlight being the Imperial Silver and Porcelain collections. Six rooms are devoted to the tragic empress known as "Sissi." Schatzkammer The Imperial Treasury contains all those glittering Habsburg jewels, the loot of a once-great empire, including the crowns of the Holy Roman and Austrian empires. The greatest treasure is the Imperial Crown, dating from 962
