I’m going to keep this one as mostly a photo trip report. Vienna was a nice city, the main square and everything around it were very picturesque, with some great architecture. Some intermittent rainstorms made for some ominous skies. I really enjoyed the Schonbrunn Palace, as everything is so well preserved and you really get a good feel how the rulers in Hapsburged dynasty lived. The Albertino museum had a Monet to Picasso exhibit was cool, as I needed a brush up on my classical art. Plus there was a contemporary art section and a photography exhibit, to my liking.
Although I will say Vienna was probably my least favorite city in this European tour, there just isn’t enough things for tourists to do besides the dozens of museums around. Plus it’s the most expensive. I walked into a café that had this enough breakfast buffet spread, didn’t ask the price, and ended up paying almost $40 for the meal. Sheesh!
Very first photo in Vienna. I took a little nap and walked outside into this right after a rainstorm!
The view at my metro stop. These cool clouds wouldn't last long!
