we left Darmstadt friday night and came back on sunday...
the plan was to come back on monday but,
with the launch postonements it became a simulation day!
saturday, after breakfast, we left the hotel, close to Karlsplatz
went through the market next door on the way to the Opera
where, after some time, we finally found the ticket office!
we kept going north in Kärtnerstrasse (comertial pedestrian street)
until we got to the Stephansdom were we climbed the tower (nice view)
as the weather was good, we stopped in a cafe at Graben,
to have a snack and get some sun!
afterwards we went to Peterskirche and kept going to Am Hof
where we found an Easter Market filled with handycraft,
we kept going untill Maria Am Gestade and came back south for lunch.
in the afternoon we went south to the enormous area of the Hofburg
through the Spanish Riding School e in the National Library,
in the direction of the Burggarten, where we stayed to get some more sun!
still going sul, back to the hotel, we went in the Museums Quarter
passing in front of the Natural History and the Ancient Art Museums.
after resting in the hotel, at night, we went to the Opera, to see Arabella
which I followed in german (including subtitles), and managed to understand!
sunday we went around touwn, starting where we left off last day
past the Volkstheater, the Main Court, arriving at the Parliament
going paralell to the Volksgarten, we went past the Burgtheater
and stopped for a coffee in front of the City Hall
afterwards we went north past the University and the Votivkirche
and caught the Subway back to Karlsplatz searching for lunch!
before having some enormous doses of spare ribs and Kaiserschmarrn
we still visited the Karlskirche and the Monument to the Red Army!
we still went to the Stadtpark for a last stroll before returning to the hotel
to get the luggage and go to the airport.
Vienna is a beautiful city, with majestic buildings and wide avenues
and with the good weather we had the trip was nice, although short!
