Vienna - the city of music, museums and more schnitzel!

We travelled from Salzburg to Vienna and stayed in this wonderful city for three nights. While in Vienna we tried schnitzel and goulash (again!), visited the Natural History Museum and the Prater and enjoyed the many parks, cityscapes and coffee houses on offer! Jason found the best (and quite expensive!) Viennese Coffee House called Cafe Sperl.

Vienna can be quite expensive for visitors - lots of museums (that range from € 6-10 each), cafes and restaurants, concerts and tours. Don't forget the Underground - we stayed a distance outside the city centre and had to add on an extra € 3 a day for Underground costs. To minimise our expenses we only visited one museum and opted for free sightseeing (ie - walking around the city, admiring buildings and parks). We also visited the Naschmarket - a fabulous and interesting outdoor food and clothes market, where you can also buy cheap meals.

Here are some photos...
