Last cruzy day in Wien
Today is sadly my last day in Wien and oh what a nice relaxing day I had! First I went to the Naschmarkt, which is this HUGE fresh food market with all types off stuffed olives, nuts, fruits, chilies, cheeses and fish they cook straight up for you in ...
Vienna, Austria
... as the pretzel, oft favoured by such modern day heroes as our great leader of the free world. The basements of Vienna's buildings were once open and interconnected allowing you to cross large areas of the subteranean network. After a great meal washed ...
Hello everyone
Just saying Hi! Nothing big today, actually checked into swanky Radisson Palace down here near Mozart's statue to get cool and relax a little before heading to Prague.Made reservations there tonight at a hotel with air conditioning. It has helped my ...

Tour 5271 / 0820 Day 21
... to the hotel early. We did have lunch in Vienna and were caught up in the crowds who were out for the Pope. Apparently, Austria is about 99% Catholic and it seemed so in the streets. Neither Jackie or i were really impressed with Vienna at this ...
See You Later, Slovakia
... There was a lot of construction as the station was a temporary replacement for the city's main southern station. Like Budapest, Vienna had a couple major train stations. The Vienna tourist board may also have not been too concerned about visitors from ...
This means nothing to meeee......
So after leaving the Slovak Republic (its official name) we entered Austria. We entered on the East where it is very flat, so not much to see. To entertain ourselves we sang Sound of Music and this 80s pop song called Vienna (where the title of this ...
Hotdogs in Vienna
Arriving at the main train station was quite different to Bratislava - it looks like Vienna (Austria) prides itself on being spotless, not a speck of dirt anywhere. There is so much to see in Vienna - we only had two days so had to leave ...
Sacher Torte and Vermeer

Vienna it is
I just can't leave Vienna. I am in love with this city...the people...the spirit! I don't want to leave. In fact, I have been forbidden to leave by several people here (it is nice when the feeling is mutual!) So, I stay. This trip has changed so ...
Vienna, Austria
... over to the church at Stephanplatz. We enjoyed a nice lunch at the Chattanooga Cafe and a traditional Vienesse coffee at Vienna's oldest coffee house. Or hostess, was Evelyn, a very lovely young woman, speaking exceptional English. We met ...
Budapest Entry- From Vienna!
... called 'Netgear'- no such luck today- so I'll have to try and find a wireless outside (means schlepping the computer) to book Vienna; I'm running out of time with all of Europe to see. Somehow, I have to make peace with the fact that this trip will end- ...
Visit old friends - Besuch von Freunden

Longest Entry Ever
... they didn't speak German, they couldn't follow what was going on. I also picked-up the totally random fact that snakes in Austria represent wisdom. The architect had included a snake-motif in some of the detail work, which I told the guide would be ...
Spring Break Stop 5: The City of Waltz
... However, after fighting our way through the crowds and getting elbowed a few times we eventually got communion. Apparently in Austria, Communion is a Contact Sport. After leaving St. Stephen's taking stock of our battle wounds, we went ...
Februari 2005: Wennen aan Wenen
Eten in Oostenrijk We hebben al best wat rare dingen gezien en gegeten (wurmen in de tequila in Mexico, stierenballen in China), maar dicht bij huis is het ook niet allemaal boerenkool met worst. Allereerst is hier de beroemde schniztel (kon niet ...
Vienna

Vienna - EGU
It was actually quite a good experience to combine the pleasure of travelling with the Conference Assistant job. So much so that we have repeated the experience in 2008 (view ...
Vienna
Another beautiful city. We stayed in a slightly dodgy spot but it was still safe. The city centre was amazing. Buildings a thousand years old and makes you wonder how they were ever built at times. Fantastic. They speak english as a bonus. Like Salzburg ...
Amadeus Amadeus
... , and Haydn are buried (so we saw some pretty elaborate graves.) We also passed by where Beethoven lived when he spent some time in Austria. Then we headed back to the opera house. As I had been raving about the ballet that I saw on Sunday, Karly wanted ...
Just like Old Friends

City of Music
Spent most of yesterday traveling on the bus to Vienna, Austria, with the usual stop offs. Arrived at our hotel which was nice-was in the shape of a pyramid. Had dinner at a vineyard with musicians. Food was OK. Nothing to rave about. Went to a classical ...
Fussballfieber

Waltzing Through Vienna
... time). We started chatting with him and, before we knew it, we had rental bikes (and helmets) and a recommended route. Vienna must be one of the world's most bike-friendly towns. There are bike lanes and paths everywhere! Aud and ...
Beautiful Vienna
... , was interesting to explore with some of the most beautiful and ornate gardens that I have seen so far. Another highlight was the Vienna boys choir at Sunday morning mass, it was bit strange to have tourists snapping photos of some of the choir when they ...
