Can’t believe it that I’m still talking about my winter holidays when it’s actually summer now. I know I’m a little behind when it comes to sharing information. I hope you’ll forgive me for that. I promise I’ll share pretty pictures and I’ll speed up! =D

After Prague (post here & here), my bf and I travelled to Vienna. When we travel in Europe, we try to hop on the train as much as we can. The waiting time is shorter and I love the beautiful scenery Europe has to offer. Though, I must say I had quite an unwelcoming experience when I first got to Vienna. I was pushed and bumped into yet they weren’t too apologetic. I was pretty upset at first for their rudeness but I quickly checked my watch and belongings in my pocket. I’ve heard enough stories about pick-pockets in Europe and never to push that thought aside.

Mr W advised me not to harbor a negative mindset over Vienna because of what happened and he was right. Vienna has so much to offer and it’s a beautiful place. Music and romance definitely lightens up this city. We had fun discovering Vienna and I shall share some pictures with you here. I hope you’ll enjoy it =)

We took a U4 Line subway and stopped at Schönbrunn station. We took a 10 minutes walk and reached the entrance of this beautiful palace. Schönbrunn Palace to Austria is like Versailles to France. This grand baroque palace was once a summer residence to the imperial family. It was built in 1569 by Maximillian II.

This area definitely reminded me of Versailles =)

It was so cold, the water in this pool turned into ice.

After all the walking in the cold, we had to stop for coffee and hot chocolate.

Definitely not missing out the apple strudel which I heard it’s famous in Vienna =)

We asked a very friendly Austrian at the entrance of Schönbrunn Palace, what’s the must-do when in Vienna? He said there are 3 things: 1) Eat a schnitzel, 2) Try the apply strudel or the Sachertorte cake and 3) Watch an opera or concert. So we ended up getting 2 tickets for a concert just outside of the palace =)
