27/09 - 28/09 Vienna


The train to Vienna is like watching the beautiful scenery of back country Germany on repeat - for 5 hours. Vienna is beautifully historic; the home of Mozart, Sigmund Freud, The Walzt and the oldest zoo in the world. People commute on bikes, the locals are friendly and the schnitzel is bountiful.

Day 1 - Early wake up, free breakfast, check out and we're ready to explore. We accidentally stumbled across a music theatre on our quest to find Hofburg and spent the morning looking at castles. From here we climbed 343 steps up and 343 steps down to view Vienna at the top of the Stephansdom Church. Feeling exhausted we had a decent pub feed and it was off to explore Schönbrunn - the oldest zoo in the world where the old cages and atmosphere still takes its 17th century form. A speedy adventure through the animal kingdom and it's off to Budapest!

Vienna in a day was blissful, amazing and flawlessly beautiful.
