Vienna: Mandatory Program

Categories: Europe | Travel |

Writes blogger darsik-dasha: Dreams of living at home before this week's trip to London have failed miserably. Every weekend I am carried somewhere again, but I do not complain: last week I was carried around Vienna and, I tell you, it was very pleasant! This is probably the tenth time I've been to Vienna, I have formed my favorite routes and things to do. I want to talk about them using the example of my last trip.

1. Once again I have already stayed at the 25 hours hotel. I really like it: it is located a two-minute walk from the Ring and the Town Hall, the rooms have a beautiful view of the city, the beds are soft here, the design is pleasant. The only pity is that this time it was not possible to book a bigger and higher room, but the standard rooms, as it turned out, are very good in the hotel. For complete happiness, only a bathrobe and slippers were not enough for me. And it’s also very difficult to put on makeup and get ready in the evening: it gets dark by six, and the artificial light in the room is such that you can come to the restaurant with differently painted eyes. However, I don’t remember a single hotel with normal light, it’s always dark for me.

2. I love it when hotels are located in places where you can immediately walk, and you don’t have to go to the center.

3. I continue to test the new Sony a7r camera, this time with a 16-50 lens. Well ... Zeiss loses a lot to optics, although the camera with it looks really super-compact. In terms of image quality, the a7r is no worse than the a99, and is half the size, almost a soap dish. For those accustomed to large cameras, it may be unusual. Apparently, you have to splurge on a Zeiss lens.

4. Viennese classics! Look, the tram driver gives me a thumbs up ;)

7. The impossible happened on this trip - Pasha agreed to ride me on a horse and ride himself. Moreover, the choice was this - either we go to conduct at the House of Music, or we ride a horse. As a result, we went both there and there, and then Pasha also had to listen to me conducting the Blue Danube and the Radetzky March and also praise me. Well, got married - be patient;) I also have a lot of difficulties, for example, dinners with 11 courses.

8. And yet another bastion fell on this trip - food in the markets. Pasha was always wondering why I love market food, each time he refused to eat at Naschmarkt, but this time we still had a good lunch there at the Nautilus fish restaurant. The oysters were wonderful, the fish soup was excellent, but we didn’t really like the fish plate (rather a tray) for two, I prefer grilled food over fried foods.

25. We went to the Freud Museum. He had a nice apartment! The museum itself is small, if you are in Vienna for the first time, then you can skip it, and if, as we have already seen a lot, then go.

26. Also, finally, we went into the building of the Vienna Secession to look at Klimt's Beethoven Frieze.

27. Well, of course, we went to the Opera and watched The Sleeping Beauty with Lyudmila Konovalova.

30. A little more of the city. It's Sunday morning. The city is given over to tourists during the day, but if you don’t sleep for a long time and go for a walk at nine o’clock, you can find Vienna completely empty, clean and washed.
