Visits by the Doctor
Vienna was particularly favoured by the Eighth Doctor. He left Samson and Gemma Griffin in Vienna while answering a distress signal from his future self. (AUDIO: Mary's Story) Later, he took Mary Shelley there on her very first journey in the TARDIS, attempting to reunite with Samson and Gemma. However, he got the date wrong and landed in 1873 instead of 1816. On this trip, he and Shelley battled Cybermen. (AUDIO: The Silver Turk) On another occasion, he battled a Bacchanite in Vienna and in the process inspired Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to write Faust. (PROSE: The Sorrows of Vienna)
The Fifth Doctor and Peri also visited Vienna in 2100, if only long enough to deposit the Time Lord Techu there. (PROSE: Leap Second)
The Tenth Doctor once visited Vienna. He went to the Vienna State Opera to see Puccini's grand opera Turandot. The alien Anton Mordillo was the star of the opera. (COMIC: The Great Mordillo)
