City break in Vienna

[vinterriket]

As you probably know, two weeks ago we had a "long weekend" because of the 1st of December and St. Andrew holidays. So I decided to put that time to good use by visiting a place I've never seen before. Due to time and budget constraints, Vienna emerged as the best candidate.

I can't really say I was surprised by anything, both positive or negative, it's a nice city, quite liveable, and in many respects similar to a large city in Transylvania. Sometimes, the feeling of being in another country was missing completely. That could also be due to the large number of Romanians visiting the city Romanian registered cars everywhere, and Romanian spoken in most crowds, shops, trams and so on. I guess people in western Romania really do go there as often as possible.

If you are a fan of baroque, Vienna is an outdoor orgy but with a bit of effort, I could also find some Art Nouveau gems.

Pics to follow soon. The first day was really dark and cloudy, but we also had some time with sun and clear skies, which make the city a lot more beautiful.
