The best coffee is Vienna, in my humble opinion. Also, get a seat outside and get caffeinated with a view of the Votiv church, and watch the city roll past.

Sightseeing
Located essentially 'within' the city, these slopes will allow you to wander aimlessly, stopping to taste the local product from the vineyards, and have the best view of Vienna.
Absolute must. You are allowed to bring your own food, as long as you buy wine.
Take the bus to kalenberg, soak in the views from there. Perhaps indulge in a Sacher torte and coffee in the cafe, enjoying them from the balcony overlooking the city. Then wander down through the vineyards as the sun slowly sinks behind the gnetly undulating slopes around you.
Many other cities have great architecture and good food scenes in Europe. Few have this option. Definitely make time (4-6 hours) to do this.

Parks & Nature
Gorgeous national park located in the city. So unused that many Vienna locals have never even used it.
Walk, or rent a bicycle, and splendour in the delights of the park.

The summer in Vienna is scorching. Hit the water to swim, or rent a boat and pedal along the Danube. Make friends with some swans and have a few beers under the rays.

2 lesser-known things: it has a projector outside every night and you can sit and watch for free with a bottle of wine.
Also, there are cheap standing only tickets. You must queue up for a few hours in advance but they are 3 euro. You get to see world-class theatre/opera for a cheap price.
