Description
Vienna is a city of great history and every corner carries the memories of a great empire. In the 3 days we visited every day a palace: Hofburg, Schonbrunn and Belvedere. Vienna is the city of music and architecture. There are so many things to do in Vienna, that you have to decide what is your thing. We went for the imperial vibe, in the city center - Ringstrasse and also the palaces around the city to understand the history and greatness of this empire. We also had a cinematic theme - we went to see some places where the Movie "Before Sunrise" with Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy was filmed. Also we were interested all the artistic dimensions of this city: music (Mozart, opera), visual art (Klimt) and architecture. During our time in Vienna we had a great choice of vegetarian and vegan restaurant or options to enjoy.
