Vienna morning. Vienna pass. Historical museum. Till 2. 100€ 72 hr pass. Hoho bus very slow. And unidirectional. Take a travel pass for metro and bus and tram.
Kunsthistoriche. Took all day. Egyptian collection. The Renaissance works and the royal collection. Titians. Went to Sisi museum as well. She was this empress who didnt want to be.
Found vegan restaurant called yamm. Good buffet. Wasted a bit of time trying to get to a river cruise or ferris wheel. But the hoho bus makes you hopping crazy with its speed and one way route.
Made it to the Danube tower instead 160m up. Tearing winds. Couldn't take a pic. The camera almost flew off. It was cold. Windy. Scary. Fun. The metro is far so be prepared to walk the distance.
2 museum sets and a tower. Not bad for a day. The Danube looks small after Budapest. But the European flavour and the bustle of the place give you an upbeat vibe.
Second day in Vienna
Morning to museum. soaked in Monet and Picasso. Egon Shiele, Gustav Klimt steal your senses. There's the humanness that demands your attention. There are also these quotes or stories by and about the art and artist that makes the display imaginative. Imperial jewels are magnificent reminders of craftsmanship and monarchy as supreme. Spanish school for horses was big disappointment. Its raining.
Vienna is beautiful in the rain. The carriages near the palaces and general imperial feel of the place makes you decide to return for a more casual longer stay. Let the air seep in kind of holiday.
Took metro. Dashed to hauptbanhauf. And then went to Leopold museum. And then wait...
This was the most rewarding experience. If you go 80 mins before the opera starts at the state opera house, you could get standing tickets for €3 or 4. Imagine. You get to watch world class opera in a theater built for an emperor. It was just super amazing. It was "elixir of love"
