It was such a spectacular experience and it was even better because I got to go with two of my best friends!
I had already been to Austria a couple of times but I had only been in the country. This was my first time in an Austrian city. Luckily for me, the language of Austria is German so I could communicate well. This was especially helpful in many cases.
Unfortunately, it was only a day trip to Vienna seeing as I had school the following day. My friends and I took a train at 8 that morning. The train ride was three hours long.
We finally made it to Vienna and then found our way to the city center. We saw a ridiculous amount of statues of famous composers, learned about the history of the city, and observed many works of art before heading home to Germany.
- The Vienna Museum - Something here for everyone from art, to old maps, to royal treasures. Learn a lot about Austrian history as well as buy THE BEST postcards in Vienna. Free entry for those under 19.
- Trying all of the chocolates in the Austrian Chocolate shop (they were all delicious)
- Seeing the beauty of St. Stephen's Cathedral - A MUST SEE, especially for architecture lovers
- Albertina - an art museum that houses, among others, Picasso, Monet & Andy Warhol (free entry under 19)
- Hofberg Palace and the cafe in the Palace greenhouse
- The Vienna State Opera House (this one's been on my wish list for a long time)
- Belvedere Palace - a bit of a walk away from everything else, but definitely worth it
- Eating traditional Austrian ravioli and kabobs for dinner
- Riding in a Harry Potter compartment on the way home
- Taking lots of pictures
- EATING A REAL CUPCAKE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN EIGHT MONTHS
- Translating for my non-German-speaking friends :)
