I forgot to post about Vienna!! I think it's because while this was a beautiful city, I didn't love it. I felt it was fancy, of course with much beauty, but nothing that stole my heart. That being said, we did really enjoy our time there, in one of the most fantastic apartments I've ever stayed in and exploring this grand city. Highlights included visiting the Belvedere palace, specifically the Upper Palace where there is a seriously awesome art collection from artists such as Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Monet.....I had no idea how diverse the works of Klimt were- the man who claimed to literally paint all day and night for most of his life could paint so much more than I realized. We walked through the Naschmarkt, a famous outdoor market which has been around since the 16th century! We had the BEST falafel wraps there, EVER. We ate at the famous Cafe Museum, a beautiful cafe with excellent food, where some of the artists I mentioned before used to go and work for hours. Another awesome find was Kolar, a super cool old bar with excellent beer (including an unfiltered Pislner, delish) and "fladen", which are really yummy pita sandwiches. Can you tell that one of my favorite parts of travel is trying new food? I found a really cool website called Spotted by Locals, where locals weigh in on good spots to eat, drink, see...that aren't traps for tourists.
