Lots of people are posting things for Weilan week, which is a lot of fun and I wish I could participate, but I'm off to Vienna until Friday.

The main reason is to see the Duerer exhibit - these are the drawings and watercolor paintings that rarely get shown at all, and I can't wait, the man was a wizard - but I also hope to visit Schonbrunn (not the whole castle, but the Palm House and Desert House sound like they would be fun to visit at this cold wet time of year) and just wander around the city and eat a lot of pastry. (We're not going to the opera, the only affordable tickets were standing-only and I am not that much of a masochist...)

I've never been to Vienna before, do any of you have any tips?

That sounds awesome. Do they have Christmas markets there like Germany?

[marycrawford]

Yes! There’s one at Schonbrunn right now I think, so we’ll definitely wander past.
Will report back!

Thank you, I feel confident! ❤️

Wandering around the city and eating lots of pastry is more or less what I did with the small amount of free time I had the last time I was there, and I wouldn't want to rob you of the joy of discovery that I had, so I won't make specific suggestions. Enjoy! It's a strange but lovely city.

Ha, good, your experience with pastry adventures makes my plans seem realistic :)

I mean, I ate more than just pastry, to be fair. But trying to find the best Sachertorte alone will keep you occupied. ;)
