Vienna, Austria is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited. Along with all that beauty, you have culture and history. As an aside, don’t refer to Austrians as Germans. I didn’t do it, but that would be bad!
While in Vienna, we took a city tour … in part to learn a little history, but also to get oriented to the city. This is a typical strategy of ours so that we can return to some of the place we rushed through during the tour.
Like many European cities, Vienna is a very walkable city. We stayed at the edge of the city at K+K Palais which is a European chain of boutique hotels and had no trouble getting to all the site, either by walking or taking the very reliable public transportation. By the way, K+K Palais is definitely a great hotel. They are on my list of places to stay.
Back to Vienna though. One of the most beautiful aspects of the city are it parks. They seem to be everywhere. I think they probably contribute to all the “lovers” we saw expressing public affection for one another. The city is also incredible clean.
In addition to the beautiful parks, you have historic buildings like cathedrals and the Opera House. You can actually tour the Opera House. It’s a must do in my opinion even if you don’t like opera, which I don’t. Schönbrunn Palace should also be on your list and if you take a tour … walk or take the metro back so you can have lunch, explore the gardens and zoo, and visit the fountain.
In fact, the city is so aestetically pleasing that we walked miles without realizing it. Picture and words don’t do justice …
