Vienna Excursion Saturday-Tuesday

Ah Vienna. I absolutely loved this part of the trip. The city was breathtaking. The Hapsburgs ensured that jaws would drop when you saw their sublime capitol. Where do I begin to tell you about this amazing city. All I can say is that the buildings and parks located in the ring made this a truly magical place. As cities go it is very clean and extremely easy to navigate. Outside of the ring it's pretty much like all other big cities, New York, Rome, London. However inside the inner city, standing in front of the Hofburg one can see the most amazing points of this great place.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofburg

St Stephans-At the heart of the city lies one of the most exciting Gothic cathedrals.
KarlsKirche-Mark and I both loved the look of this Roman/Bysantium/Baroque chruch.
Belevedere Castle-Here we got to see Klimt's famous painting "The Kiss" as well as a Monet
Schonbrunn Palace-The Hapsburg's Summer palace was well worth the tour.
The Kunsthistorisches Museum-Fine Art History Museum is just breathtaking both outside and from within.
The Hofburg Comlex-So much can be said about this amazing complex.
The Rathaus- Strange name for Town Hall, but this is the most eye catching site from the Hofburg
The Burg Theatre- One of the first buildings you notice walkting through the Volksgarten.

We spent quite a lot of time at the Rathaus-every day throughout the summer there is a film festival with a giant screen in front of the Rathaus. In the gardens, there are chairs and tables for you to sit while you enjoy food from vendors of all nations. The scene was quite the happening place on Saturday night.
