PARIS or Vienna? bOTH please
The idea of seeing Paris is something I think almost everyone wishes or wants to see. Paris has always been the city of romance, fashion, museums and palaces.
But I can honestly say, I think Vienna also has a lot to offer. Here are just a few of the amazing places. It definitely is a city filled with stunning architecture, tons of cafes for the coffee lover, plenty of
parks to wander about, a lot of green spaces and fun places too.
A bit of sight seeing around the city.
No1 Museums there are several amazing museums and galleries. The Belvedere , Artmusuems Kunsthistorische , Augarten, Klimt house, Seccession, Mozart haus
No2 Palaces such as the famous Schonnbrun the former Kaiser residence, the Belvedere and smaller ones within the city.
No3 Cafes one can find so many all around the city, the more popular ones, okay. but there are small very quaint and cozy ones to see also. popular is the Sacher cafe, Schwartzberg, Landtsmann. the one in the museum is stunning.
No.4 Carriage rides. This is one thing I can really recommend. Taking a tour of the inner city in a carriage is like being taken back in time. The views are wonderful, slow and peaceful, so you can really enjoy the sights of the city. the Architecture.
No 5 The Hofburg another stunning place. with its magnificent sculptures.
No 6 Parks and zoo, there are so many wonderful parks in the city, Amgarten with the old flak tower , Volksgarten lined with benches to sit and sun yourself, the famous Schoenbrunn the oldest zoo in Europe. ( definitely have a visit) The Donau Insel a man made island the stretches far , plus the Donau park with the Donau tower where you can get a view of the city from above- there is also a cafe restaurant at the top.
No 7 Vineyards & wines, nothing better then a local wine and there are plenty to try. One can find a vineyard right along the city border along the hills. Cheers🍷
No 8 River cruises, a short cruise along the Danube to Bratislava is another nice idea.
No 9 Ringstrasse, the main road the circles the city. Here is where you can see the Parliament building, Rathaus(city hall) the University, and many other things.
No 10 Prater and the Allee, the famous Prater with the oldest or first ferris wheel a romantic spot to see the city, filled with amusement rides and restaurants. Close to there is the tree lined Allee a popular place for walking or jogging.
After being stuck at home, a city tour is definitely on a to do list! Checking out ones own city is something to explore. I am sure i have missed other wonderful places to see, but this is a good start.
What are some of the places in your city that you might go to see?
A favorite place.
