Vienna/Wien March 2010

[Tolbert]

Could'nt find the time to upload for over a year now, but i hope you still enjoy
Went there with university end of march. It was a great trip although the weather wasnt the best. As my professor studied there we saw much more as i would have seen on my own.
We reached Vienna Westbahnhof at late afternoon by an 8 hour trip by ICE from Frankfurt Central (1 hour late because of waiting time in Freiburg and no HSR in Austria at all) After we settled our hotel rooms we made our first short trip into the city.

DAY 1

The weather forcast for our weekend. Thankfully it was a bit better as expected...

Grüß Gott! Wonderful photos! Vienna is one of my favorite European cities. To think it was once the seat of the Hapsburg and Austro-Hungarian Empires; so much history there.

I was last there in the mid-1990s. I stayed at a Pension away from the city center, it was in a very suburban area, which I felt was interesting in and of itself, being that the transportation into the city center was very good.

Thanks for sharing your photos.
