First of all, buy a travel guide. You find all the sights and other recommendations you get here on yahoo.answers there plus the entrance fees and opening hours.

Vienna has hot a special public transport ticket called Vienna Card. You can travel around in Vienna 72 hours for 16,90 euros.

I'm sure you get enaugh suggestions, but you should visit my all time favourite, the SchÃ¶nbrunn Castle.
It has been a Hapsburg residence once and parts of the formal rooms and the mews are open for the public today. On the SchÃ¶nbrunn areal you also find a huge park including an orangerie with palmtrees and butterflies.

Other good places are

Kunsthaus Wien, built by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. Funny place to visit, with uneven floors, round windows...

The Prater
a big fair with the famous ferris wheel

We have in Vienna many museums. I think you would never boring. The zoo in Schonbrunn is to pay, but you can visit the Palee, from them you have a fantastic view over Vienna. Belvedere is great. A prince at the time, which Austria was a king dome, built it. Visit google and you would find many tips what you can do in Vienna. I wish you a nice holiday.

I would suggest to use a bit of your travel money for a guide, Vienna is too big to do it all on your own. Furthermore be sure to buy a 72 hours ticket for the sub and tram - it's the cheapest way of getting around, I think there still is a tourist ticket including the most popular museums and exhibitions. Buy the Marco Polo travel guide for Vienna / Austria, I have several and the Marco Polo is the best regarding all sights and hidden places too.
Enjoy the trip, Vienna is worth it!

It's a big question as there's a lot happening in this holiday season. Your best bet is to visit the official regional tourism sites. The Austrian Tourism Bureau has a great site, to get an initial feel.

If you are looking to save money, accommodation in Vienna will be one of your biggest costs next to eating, after travelling to Vienna. So I suggest you locate close to the amenities and Vienna sightseeing attractions that would be important for you. Here's some links to sites to help you get started:

I found this website when I was searching for things in Germany. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to buy travel guides, so looked towards the internet for a primary resource of information. I'll be heading to Vienna this May so I'll be looking too! On this site there's a lot of people who either live there or have been there, so just check it out. It categorized by country and city.
