    Reviewing the Christmas market here. There are several Christmas markets in Vienna, but this one is probably the largest. There's an ice skating rink here, for example, and tons of vendors. It's absolutely a blast. Highly recommended!

    It was a real Christmas tale! Looks magic at night, ice skating (the one for adults near Hall and funny ice skating with pinguins for beginners apart). At the weekends you will see there people wearing their best (black tie, evening gowns). Christmas market with the mixed smell of candies, mulled wine, sausages. As a souvenior traditionaly you can take branded mulled wine cup with you) A bit of trivia: The Rathausmann would have some trouble finding comfortable footwear - he takes size 63 (size 29 in Great Britain)

    The Rathausplatz is the premier location to find a festival in Vienna. Its busiest and probably my favorite is the summer film festival with the large jumbo-tron and especially all the food huts. During the summer months you can also find a wine and bike exhibition and the Steiermarkdorf Fest, which is always a huge attraction. But don't be discourages if summer is not your fling, the Rathausplatz also has a hug park that comes alive during the winter months and showcases an awesome ice skating ring and the every famous Christmas Market.

    Beautiful Vienna Rathaus Arcades at Night ;)

    The Rathausplatz is probably one of Viennas most beautiful and well known places. Its located just opposite the Burgtheater and obviously by the town hall and is set amongst a beautiful park. And the best thing about it is the fact that there is always something happening there, either a Wine Festival, Bike Festival, Christmas Markets, Ice Skating and of course the famous Life Ball amongst many other things. All in all, definitely a place worth visiting and a place that Austrians can be very proud of :)

    This is pretty much the main reason why I went to Vienna. I've been a fan of Pieter Bruegel since…read morehigh school and this museum has the largest collection of his art in the world. I pretty much spent an hour sitting and looking at their exhibition of his paintings. While most of the art here is Renaissance or just after (and mainly Dutch, German, Italian, and French), there's other good stuff as well. If you like Spanish paintings, there's a lot of Diego Velasquez. Many of the exhibits have German and English descriptions of the art, but there are some that just have German, especially the ancient Greek/Roman and Egyptian parts of the museum. Of course, there are exhibits on relics from the Austro-Hungarian empire. The second (or kinda third) floor of the museum does not have much in terms of exhibits but has an extensive coin collection from that former empire. I liked some of the model ships they had to entertain the royalty during their long dinner parties. Knowing that I would go to other museums, I opt-ed for the 7 Museums annual pass for 53 Euros (as of this writing). It's worth it only if you go to at least two other museums. Just going to the Neue Hofburg across the street and the Imperial Treasury further down will equal the price you paid. I went to those, along with going to Kunsthistorisches another time and Imperial Carriage Museum at Schoenbrunn Palace. You also get re-entry privileges in case you wanted to get some food, because the cafe seemed pretty "touristy" here. Note, this pass does not get you into the Sisi Museum (or related ones) There aren't a ton of restrooms at this museum, so plan accordingly. You could probably cover this museum in about 90 minutes.

    We visited this museum in the afternoon of the same day when we had visited the Belvedere Museum in…read morethe morning. If I had it to do over again, I think I'd split up the two art museums on different days. This museum is adjacent to the Hofbrug palace. It was designed as a museum originally, and the Hapsburgs spared no expense on the interior decor. I think I bought tickets in advance, but they were not assigned a time (or even a date). It was just 'one entry'. I suppose that is thanks to the museum's interior size - rooms are generally huge so crowding probably isn't much of an issue. You enter from the front stairway and have your ticket checked. As at the Belvedere, you need to check large bags in lockers that cost 2 Euros but which return your coin at the end. The lobby is a circular tower. There is a hole up through several floors. The 2nd level is a cafe and you can take an elevator up to a 3rd level and have interesting views back down to part of the ground floor. The layout of the museum is on 2 floors. Most people ascend to the upper floor first as that is where the more famous works are located. Here you'll find paintings from the 1600s forward. You'll see works by Velazquez, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Rembrandt, and Reubens (among others). The audio guide here had the 'select a number' when you encounter a numbered work you wanted to learn more about. It was worthwhile. The rooms are large and the paintings are spread out enough to allow a good flow. I never felt claustrophobic in here. The main stairway up to this floor is breathtaking as well. The ground floor had Egyptian, Greek, and Roman stuff on one side. This also had the largest collection of Roman jewelry I've seen too (maybe the only large set of it). There was at least one room dedicated to all manner of rings, necklaces, etc.). On the other side / wing of this floor is an odd collection of small statues and other odds and ends from the Hapsburgs. This was my favorite art museum in Vienna. I would definitely recommend a visit.

    Schönbrunn Palace was my first tourist stop in Vienna. As soon as I checked into my hotel and…read moredropped off my things, I went on the subway and booked it to Schönbrunn Palace with the hopes I could make it on time for the private tour and concert deal package. I could no longer purchase a ticket online for the post-closing private tour and concert package, but when I got there, there was a guy at a cart who sold me a Section A ticket for €89 (online it was € 132.00), with a pre-concert private tour for free. Sweet! I was really looking forward to this, because the private tour+concert deal is only available on Fridays and Satudays, I'm SO GLAD I made it on time! It was very beautiful to walk through Schönbrunn Palace, listen to the audio tour (I was surprised that Franz Joseph was described as worshipping his wife Elisabeth, because she was miserable in their marriage and even through their estrangement, he always dearly loved her), and then be led to the orangerie for the concert. I was amazed by the beautiful and grand rooms, a must-see when you're in Vienna! The orangerie was also gorgeous, and the lights were beautiful. Since I was in section A, I got a free drink. I didn't want alcohol, so I had orange juice with ice, which they served me in a wine glass. The concert was very beautiful. Even though I pretty much knew nothing that was played except for I think one song, it was a beautiful performance, and the orchestra and opera singers are all incredibly talented. When in the classical music capital in the world, it's a must to catch at least one classical concert!
