Edylwise, Lianne, Olivia, and I had a blast in Vienna this past weekend! On Friday, we went to the top of the North Tower of St. Stephen’s Cathedral for a beautiful view of the city.
In the afternoon, we took advantage of a free tour of Vienna and tried the Viennese signature Sachertorte (chocolate cake).
Mozart’s House
We spent the majority of the day Saturday wandering around the Schönbrunn Palace and gardens.
We chose the perfect weekend to go to Vienna, because Saturday night was the annual museum night! About 130 museums in Vienna were completely free from 6pm-1am with a 12 euro pass. We went to a show at the Spanish Riding School , an exhibit about Franz Joseph I, a modern art installation at the Winter Palace, and the mumok (museum moderner kunst stiftung ludwig wien) or the museum of modern art.
Watercolor Mozart painted as a boy.
On our way back to the hostel, a cat decided to join us and follow us inside (totally not our fault). Sunday we saw the Alberta art museum.
