Day 38: Vienna, Austria

The trick of Europe is to get up early if you want to see things without the large crowds and have a chance at taking pictures without other people in it. So that's what we did!

We woke up early and walked a total of 25 kms today. We saw St. Mark's Cathedral, the Austrian Parliament Building, Rathausplatz, Burgtheater and the Spanish Riding School in the morning. We went to Piber Meets Vienna and we got to see the horses perform for an hour.

In the afternoon, we went to the Belvedere and then off to Schonbrunn Palace. We could have spent the entire day at Schonbrunn Palace. I took the tour of the grounds, we did the labyrinth and then sat on the hill overlooking the Palace and Vienna.

When we got back to the hostel, we went for our free drink on the hostel, sat with our roomies and some guys from Amsterdam for a bit and then went to the ferris wheel overlooking Vienna (which I don't suggest people spend their money on if they go). Turned out to be quite a bust, but overall Vienna is a must see.Read more
