Hola lovelies!
After 4 nights in Budapest, it was time to move on to a different country. We caught a train at 6am to Vienna, Austria! I had heard how beautiful this city was so I was excited to see it in the flesh. I was not disappointed!
We were only there for 2 days and 1 night so we tried to cram in as much as possible whilst we were there. We stayed near the Schönbrunn Palace, about a 10 minute walk away, which was perfect. Not only was the palace an amazing sight, the gardens surrounding the palace were absolutely stunning. I couldn't help but take about 10,000 pictures of everything. The gardens were so peaceful and were unlike anything I'd seen in any other European countries.
Dan and I spent a long time here, just taking the sights in and trying to get over the amazing views. The others we were travelling with were arriving later in the day as we got different trains to Vienna.
Vienna also had a very famous cathedral - St Stephen's Cathedral - which was so beautiful. We visited the inside and could have walked up the 400 steps to the top.. however we had very aching feet from all the walking and decided not to (we already had really good pictures of the view of Vienna from the palace!).
Dan and I also visited the Rathaus (Townhall) whilst the others visited the palace we had seen the day before. It was a bit of a spontaneous decision as we ran off the metro stop, but turned out to be a nice one. The townhall wasn't spectacular but there was a lovely park next to it, and we saw a part of a carnival.. not sure what it was celebrating but it was a colourful parade and very cool!
On our only evening of Vienna, we went for drinks in a very classy place (after having lost each other and thinking we were at the same metro station for around 40 minutes..! haha). It was actually in a square surrounded by museums - in Museumquartier. The drinks were ridiculously expensive but I stretched to 5 euros for a small beer and admired my surroundings. As everyone was a bit tired, we decided to save going out until we got to Prague, so got some 1 euro pizza (delicious and the loveliest man served us!) and currywurst and went back for the night.
I would love to revisit Vienna again for a longer period of time as I think we weren't able to delve deep enough into the city in two days!
Have you ever visited Vienna? What did you do whilst you were there?
