Vienna

so we made it to vienna, after a four hour train ride from prague. we had quite a good, relaxing time. maybe there was nightlife in vienna, but we didnt find much... nonetheless the city was quite impressive, very renaissance, and clearly wealthy when it was the heart of the Hapsburg Court/ Holy Roman Empire/ Austrian Empire/ Austro-Hungarian Empire. everything was over the top, classical, baroque. and again, really good luck with the weather

always gotta start the day off right- gelato!

Votivkirche, neo-gothic cathedral. it was under some renovation though. i think every building we visit is more or less undergoing work. all the time.
in honor of... mozart!
a journalist approached us and took a photo, for an article about spring in vienna!
feeling quite at home in this fountain
the Pestaule, one of Vienna's most famous sculptures. it was created for mercy against the plague.
