Vienna Brussels. pre trip Day One

I like Vienna. It is a beautiful city, but I need more time here to find it´s soul. Colleagues who live here rave about the city and tell me about the good nightlife etc., but I haven´t gone out here at all and it really looks like place for retired tourists.

The buildings along the Ringstrasse are just magnificent to use the correct word. That Austrian Empire used to be quite something. Every building just is a masterpiece on its own and American tourists are blown away by the amount of stately decorated constructions that they might only see in an old State Capital.

The sun is shining so Vienna looks really nice. I don´t like the Stephansdom at all, but I love baroque architecture of Vienna. It looks as rich as the country itself. If you ever go there, take the streetcar 1 or 2 and make a tour around the Ringstrasse and you will see it al. It is such a simple city to discover.

In the evening we take some people on a tour to Grinzing and the vineyards of the 19th district of Vienna. Nice tour. We drive up there and then we get no a Choo Choo train to the top of the hill for a beautiful view over the city and its vineyards and end in a place where they can drink the local wine and taste the local dishes (soup, salad, schnitzel, chicken, and a icecreamy dessert). They love it and it is a nice excursion.
