The story

This weekend was madness... we set off at 7 and arrived in Vienna after 9 hours by car... Our hotel, booked with Best Western Hotel Harmonie, 198 euros for the triple for two nights including breakfast. We devoted the afternoon entirely to visiting the historic centre of the city. A mix of people, colours, scents... We look for a place to have dinner and find it right in the centre, in the main square. The service wasn't excellent but we had a decent dinner! The next day we decide to go and visit Schönbrunn, the emperor's majestic palace... We chose the Grand Tour option, which includes a visit to 40 rooms (it costs 13 euros); the other tour, the Imperial tour, includes 22 rooms and costs 9.5 euros. There are also combined tickets with other attractions. We then went back to visit Vienna's historic centre in the sunshine, another point of view...

in the sunlight!!! Always full of people of every nationality, in any case. For dinner we went to another typical restaurant, where they were friendlier, and where we had goulash and beer!!! The day after, departure at 6... again... 9 hours to get back home!!! But even though the visit to Vienna didn't last long... we got round the whole of it... or almost!!! Until the next trip!!
