If You Go: Vienna

We were lucky to stay with a great friend in Vienna who took us to all the coolest places in short order around the city!  We also celebrated an amazing Thanksgiving dinner...so my list of things to do is short, but sweet!

Restaurants

• Cafe Central: Vienna is famed for its cafe society.  Cafe Central is probably the most iconic spot to enjoy a true cafe - beautiful vaulted ceilings, amazing apple strudel, and strong coffee.  All the best things under one roof!
• Erich: This was a fun, hip restaurant.  They have tacos, things on kebabs, and a few other specialties.  So I had a cool corn on the kebab, fancy grilled meat, and an avacado taco (and a partridge in a pear tree!) 

Things to Do 

• Schonbrunn Palace: This was the center of the Hapsburg Empire.  The outside is beautiful, but the inside was even more impressive.  All in crazy rococo style. No pictures inside, but well worth the price of admission (not always the case!)
• Concert at a Concert Hall: Vienna is the city of Mozart, Beethoven, and many other famous musicians.  A concert is a must.  We saw a beautiful concert with the Vienna Philharmonic at their Concert Hall.  The acoustics were some of the most stunning I have ever heard.
• Architecture Walk: The architecture of Vienna is unbelievable.  Every build seems to be a work of art.  From their government buildings to the stunning building that houses H&M.  Stroll the streets and see how beautiful the city really is!
