Vienna, Austria, September 5, 2019

Museum of Natural History, Vienna
Vienna City Tour
This sparkling city on the Danube has captivated travelers for years with its elegant shops, world-class museums, and beautiful gardens. Our bus drove along the famed Ringstrasse, Vienna's main boulevard lined with magnificent Baroque palaces, parks and monuments. On our walking tour we viewed the lavish Hofburg Palace, and the impressive Vienna Opera House. The tour continued to majestic St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Parliament building.  After spending an hour at a practice of the Spanish Riding School and the Lipizzaner Horses, Karen and I enjoyed the afternoon on our own gnoshing at a sidewalk cafĂ©, then strolling through the magnificent Kunsthistorisches Museum, an imposing, 19th century museum with lavish interiors housing Habsburgs art collections and antiquities.
