Hello

I'll be in Vienna from Friday morning until Tuesday.

What are the must see's in Vienna?

I'd also like to go to Budapest and Bratislava for a day trip, can someone recommend the must see's and does anyone know of a tour guide that'll do the driving?

Thanks

Budapest is too far for a day trip unless you stay overnight. You will spend all your time on the highway.
Bratislava is doable. Kever of Chasam Sofer and Bratislava Castle is interesting.
Eisenstadt or Esterhazy's castle in Fertod makes a good day trip.

Is there a wiki on Vienna? I need a rundown on the restaurants there (what is good?) Also I am there for a a day and half so my itinerary includes the schonbrun palace and zoo, the imperial apartments and treasury, the  Kunsthistorisches museum, judenplatz, and possibly the  belvedere. Am i missing something worth while to see? Should I cut anything out of my itinerary?

You can / will most likely make it but with kid it'll be a bit tight and not relaxing.

I recommend the Park Hyatt Vienna. Just don't drop your phone on their front steps, like I did recently. 😩

Such separate and different cities. I find shabbes in Vienna to be beautiful. Can have a beautiful hotel, minyan, food right in the inner city which is magnificent to walk around and stroll around on a shabbes afternoon.
