Today, Christina and I traveled to Vienna from Zell Am See. We only get one night here, unfortunately. So far, Christina and I have had differing impressions of the city. It reminds me a bit of DC with all of the monuments, parks, and museums and it has similar architecture styles. Like DC, no high-rise buildings are permitted. Vienna is laid out in concentric circles with the innermost circle considered the “Old City”. Our hotel and our wanderings were primarily in this area. We wandered through the Volksgarden, saw the Heldenplatz, and had dinner. Nearby, Christina found her new favorite store…

Afterwards, we wandered down Karntner Strasse to Stephansplatz where we sat in an outdoor cafe and had a latte, tea, and an apple strudel before we walked back to the hotel. Tomorrow, we leave for Prague, fairly early by our standards. There were so many things to take in here in Vienna; I wish we had the opportunity to spend a few more days here.
