Vienna, Day 1

I flew direct: Eindhoven to Vienna. The early flight meant I made it before noon. After a quick train ride to the city I checked into my hotel. Then I did the typical tourist thing: a Big Bus tour!

I know those types of bus tours get a lot of flack for being too touristy and not getting the real local feel, but honestly, I love them. In 5 hours I was able to see a large part of Vienna. The alternative would have been to wander by myself for 5 hours and see a very small sliver of the city. I’d rather do the whole city at a thin level than a small portion deeply.

After the bus tours I went back to the hotel, dressed up in a full suit, and went to a fancy dinner followed by a Mozart concert in one of the famous music halls.

Amazing architecture everywhere I looked. I have no idea what building this was, but it looks like it’s from a fairy tale.
Modern skyscrapers that actually look cool!
The Danube river
Belvedere
Cathedral of St. Stephen
Dinner menu
Beef broth soup with savory pancake strips. Seemed odd to me at first, but it was quite good!
Fancy chicken nuggets that tasted like … Chicken nuggets!
Dessert. The apple pie was good. The vanilla ice cream was fine. The chocolate was weird. The last thing was flavorless.
