First stop Schonbrunn Palace. Stunningly beautiful with gold detailing, super high ceilings, and I have never understood how prestige is defined by the height of the doorways. Not allowed to take pictures of the inside. Christmas markets at the palace selling all sorts of goodies. We indulged in mulled wine, apple strudel pretzel, goulash soup on cob bun and roasted chestnuts (easier to open than macadamias).
By this time it was getting dark sunset about 4.30pm. We headed into the city to wander around. Magnificent buildings, cathedrals and statues. Couple of Christmas markets were in full swing.
Then off to a Viennese Waltz Concert. Orchestra played magnificently. Conductor reminded me of Mr Bean with his enthusiasm, expressions and movement.
Tomorrow off to Germany (Munich) via Hallstatt. Expecting cooler temperatures and maybe if we are lucky some snow.Read more

Traveler Gorgeous place, love the church and art on the ceilings. Decorated streets are beautiful. That pretzel would keep you going all day. Enjoy🩷
