0830 - Vienna

The capital of music - Vienna, Austria.

After 4hrs of train journey from Prague, I arrived at Wien Sudbahnhof.

As usual, the first thing to do was to look for the hostel that I've reserved earlier
but it's situated quite a distant from the city center as well as those main attractions

Kunsthistorisches Museum - the Museum of Fine Arts

face to face, there is Naturhistorisches Museum - the Natural History Museum

at the junction of both is Museumsquartier ie museum museum museum

I skipped all the museums throughout my entire Europe trip, the reason is obvious, I'm not artistic at all. Honestly I do not know how to appreciate arts so no point wasting time and money.


The Austrian Parliament


Burgtheater - the Austrian National Theater

Rathaus - the city hall


It was Film Festival on that day...
free films were shown on the giant screen in Rathausplatz at night

the Votivkirche church

Hofburg Imperial Palace







back on the street


Stephansdom aka St Stephen's Cathedral

Albertina - another museum



Staatsoper - the Vienna State Opera


I love the sun, but I like the moon as well





Dinner - Austrian's well-known Wiener Schnitzel ie deep fried pork in breadcrumbs


Meininger Hotel - nice and comfortable

I was in the same room with 2 girls from Germany, one whom doesn't speak English, so we didn't talk much.


Next station: Bratislava Hlavna stanica
