Vienna was our last city to visit before we returned to Munich where our tour ended.
Of course in half a day you only get a glimpse of Vienna and you have to decide if you want to come back or not.
Entrance to the Ringstrasse encircling the Innere Stadt (inner city).
The city hall
we crossed a market
and saw the Sissi Museum only from outside. But I had seen already a lot of her rooms and furniture and also the movies of course So I didn't regret that I had no time to visit it
Schloss Schönbrunn, an enormous castle with two wings, one for the emperor Franz Joseph and one for his wife "Sissi" Elisabeth.
We have seen quite a lot of Vienna, unfortunately I had difficulties with my camera and had to stop taking pictures.
Our group gathering towards the bus which would take us to our hotel.
Early evening our guide took us what she called the best Restaurant for "Wiener Schnitzel" that they would be very good and tasty. I fortunately don't remember the name, it was in a basement. Indeed the decoration was beautiful, very old and romantic, but the Schnitzel was the worst I have ever eaten and my travel friends agreed with me. Even our guide didn't mention the Schnitzel again the next morning ! At least I have something special to remember : The worst "Wiener Schnitzel" I have eaten in my life was in Vienna where it comes from !
Now when I think back I liked Vienna very much ! Despite the fact that it is such a huge city, it gave me the feeling of well being and not too much hustle and bustle
The long shopping street with all famous brands represented, the cafés, bars and restaurants everything looked warm and cosy.
I certainly would go back there and really visit the city !
The most beautiful city I have ever seen but not the sideway stepping tortured Spanish horses. The apple strudel in Vienna is divine, with vanilla sauce (custard). Yet we did also see rough parts of Vienna, and people queued at soup kitchens.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure anyone could properly digest this beautiful complicated city with an incredibly rich past in such a short time. Sorry to hear the "Wiener Schnitzel" was also a bit hard to digest!
ReplyDeleteWe honeymooned in Austria and visited Vienna. Probably time we went again.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I would love to see Vienna someday.
ReplyDeleteAunque nunca he estado en ese país, siempre he sentido una predilección por él.
ReplyDeleteHe visto muchos reportajes e interesantes imágenes, como las que publicas, para apreciar su belleza.
What a lovely tour. I visited Vienna years ago in December - it was snowing and cold and quite a different vibe than your photos. I think I should visit again one of these days during the summer. Merry Christmas to you!

Hello Gattina, I haven't been to Austria yet but would like to visit there some day. My nephew has gone to parts of Europe and so far Vienna was his favourite destination.
ReplyDeleteSiempre me ha fascinado esa ciudad y que sólo conozco por las fotografías. Ningún año me pierdo el Concierto de Año Nuevo, que ponen por televisión.
