As I remember it, Schonbrunn should be fine for you - you know, I don't remember any steps at all. Kunsthistoriches Museum has lifts and all the other galleries we were in also have lifts. The tour of the Opera House I would not recommend either for accessibility or for value for money. The tour of the Parliament is interesting and inexpensive, and accessible.
