How to avoid the worst of it today

Take the KHM slowly, cupola cafe included. Bruegel wall by wall, the Kunstkammer's wonders, coffee under the dome — the great museum as an afternoon residence, calm-day style.
Walk the Ring's green rooms. Stadtpark's gilded Strauss, the Volksgarten's roses, the Burggarten's palm house — the imperial belt at strolling pace.
Do the Zentralfriedhof pilgrimage. Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert in one avenue of the vast cemetery — tram 71 out, silence included, any calm day.

Where the crowds are

Stephansplatz: The cathedral square compresses the whole inner city's flow.
Schonbrunn's ticket halls: Same-day slots recede into the afternoon by mid-morning.
The Graben–Kohlmarkt shopping axis: The golden mile's constant promenade.

Quiet places in Vienna

The Belvedere gardens: Baroque terraces between the palaces, free and wide.
The Prater's avenues: The chestnut boulevard beyond the Riesenrad's queue.
