Vienna is like Berlin to me - huge, buildings with a particular style (Baroque?), large "gates" with roman columns and large sculptures everywhere.
While I enjoy visiting churches and seeing how it looks like from the inside, and that there are beautiful churches here, I haven't fallen in love with Vienna the way I had with many other European cities. Maybe because it's so big and I find it hard to enjoy the "journey" while stressed with trying to "conquer" as many sites as possible. I like cities where I could see everything in a or two day so that I could take my time to spend more quality time on each site, visit musuems, dine well and interact with people. In such large cities, I often leave feeling "incomplete" because I could not "complete" all that I want to see without sacrificing time for dining and interactions. For instance, I had not seen Klimt's collection at the musuem. Only many posters reminding me to go to the musuem to see it.
