I shouldv’e written for Vienna a day or two age but, eh. What’s to say about Vienna? It’s big, relatively cheap, and everything is in the same architectural style: baroque. At first it’s beautiful and grand, but it becomes excessive.
There isn’t much as far as attractions go: Schloss Schonbrunn is a beautiful royal palace where some real history went down; such as Maria Theresa and Franz Joseph, Mozart, Boneparte, and all that. Also interesting because of the strength of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Other than that, you’re typical beautiful big church, McDonald’s, and cafes. Cheezy classical music souvenirs, it’s just a nice old city.
As far as food goes, however, I had a most delicious meal of weiner schnitzel, chokotart, and melange (coffee with water.) I also went to a classical music concert which was good fun (but not great.)
As for me, a bit of a downer from Prague, also Germany lost in the semi-finals, which forced me not to go to Munich. That’s ok though, I discovered that Bratislava is only an hour away, so I booked a hostel and stayed there for one night. Stay tuned, I write about it. By the way, I hit my halfway mark: 6 weeks in. 6 weeks out.
