The Cruise, Day Six: Vienna




We have been steeped in Hapsburgs! Spent a long time at the Imperial Palace - which covers ten blocks (Maria Theresa needed a lot of room for those 16 kids!) and now houses government offices, museums, symphony and opera venues, a Piltzner (?) horse training arena, the national library (pictured here - it was amazing and I could have spent hours there!) as well as apartments for the well-connected! Vienna is a beautiful city, and I only wish I had time to explore it more in depth... The evening ends with more music (of course!) and tomorrow we will be once again cruising up the Danube...

Sounds like maybe your next trip is to Vienna, to stay for a week. :)
