Day 2

 Good afternoon, everyone!

Today was our first trip to Vienna by train.

We didn't have any activities planned for today, so as soon as we arrived in vienna, we started to walk around observing the monuments and buildings around us. 

Wiener Pestsäule

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Vienna Plague Column is a Trinity Column in Grabenen in the center of Vienna. It was built after the plague epidemic of 1679 and consecrated on October 29, 1693.

The catholic church of St. Peter:

             

 

 

 

 

 

  All the architecture and symbolism of the church,was impressive, but what we liked the most was the ceiling and the painting that was on it.

The Hofburg Palace in Vienna is a magnificent architectural complex with a rich history. Let’s explore its fascinating features:

Former Habsburg Residence:

    For over 600 years, the Hofburg served as the residence of the powerful Habsburg dynasty. It remains one of Vienna’s most visited sites.

 

    The palace encompasses a vast area, including the Imperial Apartments, several museums, a chapel, a church, the Austrian National Library, and even the office of the President of Austria.

At heldenplatz, we saw a square that houses two statues of Prince Eugen. It marked the beginning of a beautiful and pleasant park with flowers and monuments where we took the opportunity to rest while enjoying the environment.

 

 

Arround lunch time, we stuble across a street market called 'Brunnenarkt'. An amazing ethnic market full of colors and delicious food.
