Another 5 days in vienna 2006 ~ Part 1

From London, we headed to Vienna, arriving at our lovely hotel situated on the Praterstrasse, extremely near the Ferry Wheel and transport.

 

 

That was a good start - a brilliant end to our very tired day coming from London...

After a good night sleep, we head to Stephansdom - a church with magnificent interior.

 

We also went right up to the top of the church, where we saw a fabulous view of day-time Vienna.. even though the whole experience left me feeling a little... nauseous because of the height..

 

The roof of the church is very interesting - tiled with the year 1956.. and you can also see the intricate carving of the church exterior.

After visiting the Stephansdom, we wander towards the Hofbug (Imperial) Palace...

 

 

One of the things we love about Vienna is the streets - makes you feel so relaxing...

 

 

On the way to the Palace, we also passed by the Rathaus (City Hall) and the Paliament

When we finally get to the Hofburg Palace - we couldn't believe our eyes - the size of it!!

 

 

The first stop for us at this Palace, is the Sisi museum and the Imperial Silver Collection.

 

What can I say.. EXTRAVAGANCE! I think the amount of plates there will probably last me 10 life time!! 2 sets are already enough for me.. hm..

At the end of the day....

 

Headed back to Stephanplatz, where we searched for some delicious food to cure our tired and hungry souls. And we found a shop called Demel! I was too hungry so I forgot to take a picture of the 2 cakes I ate...

 

:'( They were the best cake I've ever eaten in my whole life... so don't blame me for forgetting to take a picture of them.. I just couldn't wait...  =p
