We spent five days, three whole days in Vienna. Our hostel was in an ideal location to catch public transport. We first went to a smaller version of the palace of Versailles in Paris. We spent an extra euro to get a guided tour and lucky us we ended up with only two other people in the tour. It made it really nice because we really got to interact with the guide. It was just like having a personal guide. We really enjoined it! We than got to hike to the Gloria where we got to go on the roof for a beautiful panoramic of the city. Than we went in the gardens to the maze and wondered through there for a bit. We didn't have time to go into the oldest zoo in the world but we did walk by it. We ate at this cute little garden cafe where we had our first schnitzel and it was good but nothing compared to Figimuller. Now in Prague on one of our tours we had meet this couple who insisted that we must find this restaurant that they loved! We were able to find it but we had to wait in line for an hour and thirty mins! I was so hungry by the time we got there I told my mom " I don't care how good the food is it's not worth it"... o was I wrong.. it was heavenly I love Austrian food! Maybe it was because I was so hungry but that Schnitzel was to die for. O it was delicious! I would recommended it to you all! We have provley already recommended it to 15 people lalready it's that good! We even made reservations for the next night where we only waited 5 mins. My mom loved the salad which had this pumpkin (mustery taste) it was great as well.
We than spent a day just in the hostel relaxing, we just seem to be always going going going so it was nice to have a day to relax. We than went to there main place.
We got to go into the cici museum which was interesting as well as walk through some of the apartments. Honestly though I didn't enjoy this one as much as the tour from the day before, we had 30 people on the tour and the museum rooms were tiny.
One thing that I have really enjoined about going on these tours is that they connect all over the place, you go to one country and here how they are related to the another country and the information builds on itself.
THE FIRST FREE PUBLIC DRINKING WATER FOUNTAIN THAT WE FOUND IN ALL OF EUROPE! Now that's worth takings picture of!
We stumbled across this building which to be honest I don't know what the true use of the building was but it was one of my favorite buildings we saw in Austria. We walked up the stairs and what lay before us was what I would describe as the library from Beauty and the Beast, it was beautiful and making it even better is that it had been transformed in to a museum so we got to know about some of the famous people from Vienna. I really enjoined the library and would consider it one of my favorite things there. Not only was it stunning inside but I got in for free too!
We than went to this art museum where my mom wanted to go see Picasso pieces, we went and saw that and than went to this other part of the museum that was terrible! We pretty much walked fast through it all to get out. They had these odd pictures of people with like bandages on them, blood or like Donald Duck. Odd huh? Ya, it was just dark and there was a weird vibe in there so we blew through that and went to
One of my favorite things that we've done this trip is going to the park located in near the city center and watch on the big screen and old black and white movie. Making sure we went an saw a English version we saw Midsummer's Night Dream. It was great everyone was there, we sat by the fountain and even got to sit in one of the comfy bean bags with a view of this beautiful building behind us.
One if the last things we did was make sure to go to the restaurant that 20 ish years ago Grandma and Grandpa Tobler had went to. I got the most delicious Cordon blu, and than we just went and walked the city.
