Vienna

Vienna is among the most beautiful cities I’ve seen. It has gorgeous ornate buildings, wide sidewalks, and many trees and parks.

We started our day with a tram ride around the ring road that encircles the downtown area. We stopped at Staadt Park which is full of old trees, flowering bushes, and some statues and monuments too. The kids were happy to run around and let loose some of their seemingly endless supply of energy.

We walked through some of the streets, stopping to buy “Mozart” chocolates, until we reached another park. There we had some lunch before we were on our way to Budapest.


Vienna is such a beautiful city that I almost felt guilty for only spending a day there. It would have been nice to take in some of the museums and the opera, but Budapest also has a lot to offer so we’ll see.
