I'm spending two days in Austria's capital, Vienna.
I'm Sam Garza with World Travelers Today and I'm here to show you what you should
see and do in this amazing European city.
Another must-see here in Vienna is to Hofburg Palace. For centuries this palace
served as a royal residence and seat of government for the Habsburg Empire.
Currently, that serves the current seat of government for the president of
Vienna, the Parliament. Here you can also find the Imperial Library, the Imperial
Chapel, the Treasury and the world-famous Spanish Riding School.
We just came out of the Spanish Riding School. The Lipizzan horses are just
as beautiful as I remember them many many years ago, when I was here. Something
to know, we only saw the practice that was a two-hour practice or rehearsal
from 10 o'clock a.m. to 12 noon you can also check your schedule check their
website which I'll put in the link below when the actual performances are and
what time. Tickets were 15 euros for adults,
senior citizens would be about 10.50 and if you have the Vienna card that would
be 13 euros, so again you want to go ahead and get those tickets way
beforehand. There was a large crowd a lot of small little narrow walkways to get a
nice view so again get your tickets early and this is a must-see while
you're in Vienna. Another thing you're going to want to do in Vienna during the
month of December is visit the many Christmas markets. We are currently in a
Maria Theresa Platz or Maria Theresa Square, and it's pretty busy here you can
find booths full of hot food and hot wine.
Another great place to visit in Vienna is their Rathaus Platz or the City Hall
Plaza. Here you're gonna find the local seat of government the rat Rathaus was
created in 1872. It reminds me of the Hotel de Ville in the Grand Plaza in
Brussels just without the beautiful surrounding buildings. But here
in Vienna in front of the Rathaus or on both sides of the Rathaus you find
two parks and of course now it's Christmas so the plaza is filled with
beautiful Christmas markets.
I've had a great day going around Vienna visiting the major sites but I made a stop at Esterhazy-Keller
which is a famous restaurant here in the center of Vienna but after five
o'clock p.m. there's also Esther heisman skeller which is downstairs it opens up
after five o'clock p.m. both parts will be open after 5:00 like I just said and
there is a famous beer called Punta Gama. So we're definitely checking out the
beer something you want to try out while you're visiting Vienna, so Cheers!
We're here at Saint Stephen's Cathedral. This is the main it is the main turret
it's a beautiful Gothic or Romanesque- Gothic cathedral which was started in
the early 14th century which even at that time stood on two earlier churches
so there's a lot of history here at this beautiful cathedral. It's known for its
colorful roof you can see the roof from many...(laughs)I guess a mile away, but it is
a beautiful cathedral this is another stop you're gonna want to see here in Vienna. You can't
travel to Vienna without having a coffee and pastry at Cafe Central. The cafe opened
in 1876. In the past, the cafe was a meeting point for Austrian intellectuals
and other historical figures. Vienna is a city that should be on your European
must-see list. The city has a lot to offer and it's waiting to be explored.
