Vienna, Austria

Our next stop was Vienna. We took an overnight train from Venice. We loved Vienna and wish we could have stayed longer. We rented an apartment through airbnb, I can't seem to find the place we stayed at though. We were really happy with the location and the place; very new, clean and modern. 

We had great weather and spent a lot of time wondering around the city.

Per my friend Ryanne's recommendation we went to the Vienna Film Festival at Rathausplaz. We enjoyed sampling food from all the food stands and watching the Nutcracker. Such a great night!  City hall was the back drop for the Nutcracker.  

While in Vienna we went to Schönbrunn Palace. It's an easy train ride right outside the city. We had a fun time exploring and the grounds were beautiful. We paid for the tour of the castle, the private gardens (which the free gardens were actually better...), maze and a apple strudel demonstration. 












Hanging out in the maze. It was actually really fun and hard!

We had a great time in Vienna and hope to explore more of Austria someday!
