Hello! I am sorry I have not updated in a long time. My life has been hectic! I am constantly doing something which gets me a bit tired and I end up not posting anything. Anyways, here I am posting stuff so let me tell you about my trip to Vienna!
Arriving on a Friday I had ample time to explore the center square of Vienna. After arriving by train, which is actually such a cool experience, I had to take the Vienna underground transport system to get to the apartment type hostel my new friends and I were to stay at. This was my first time at a hostel so it was a bit nerve racking, partly due to the movie I have seen regarding hostels. However, our stay was great! My first hostel experience went without a hitch.
We explored Stephenplatz and walked for what seemed hours going through stores and visiting the St. Stephen's Cathedral. Friday was particularly uneventful at night due to use being super tired from walking around so much. My feet hurt as much as they did in London so that means I walked a good amount.
On Saturday we got to see Mozart’s grave and visit the Schönbrunn Palace. Both of those places were gorgeous. The cementary where Mozart was buried had people buried there since the 1800′s! That really made me feel like I was somewhere sacred. The Schönbrunn Palace is not free to roam around in the inside of the palace but it is free to walk around the garden so that’s what we did. The gardens are extremely well-kept making them stunning!
I hope to visit again before my departure of Europe so that I can experience the Ferris Wheel and the zoo. I know that I will be going back for the free music concert though!
P.S. The souvenir prices are high! I had a hard time deciding whether or not to get some and I decided not until my next trip. So if you’re going, make sure to take a good amount (like at least 9 euros per souvenir per person).
