We
thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in Vienna. Our
visit to this former Imperial Capital and Melk Abbey was, of
course, packed with history - both religous at the Abbey and
the art of the years of Empire.
There's far more to Vienna than
we managed this weekend including the
Hofburg Palace,Schoenbrunn and
the world famous Spanish
Riding School. To cover all the Vienesse Imperial offerings
would take far longer than the weekend we had.
Although somewhat of a "Leicester Square" experience,
we did enjoy our visit to the Heuriger in Grinzing but next
time we'll try another district for something a bit more "real."
Melk was hugely impressive. Not just in the scale of the building
but also the work which had gone into the interior decoration.
Both the Natural History and Art History Museums were impressive
both in their collections and the buildings which house them.
While the Catacombs of St Stephans Cathedral added more than
a little macarbeness to the trip.

Overall, a great success of a trip.
