We began our 30 day European Vacation with 3 days in Vienna
Our hotel was across from the United Nations Center
overlooking the old branch of the Danube.

We attended Mass in this very modern Catholic Church

The liturgy was not in German but in Tagalog for the Philippino congregation

Monument to the End of the Plague

Belvedere Palace

St Stephen's Cathedral

Art Museum

Covert message of resistance during WWII on the Cathedral wall

Mass was in progress during our visit.

2 trips to Vienna and we still didn't visit the interior of the building at left.

We left the tour group to sightsee on our own.

We like to wander around and see things that
often aren't of interest to the general population.

We also browsed through an Easter Market where I bought the 1st of my 8 scarves. They are very popular here and most useful.

Below are Roman ruins
The Military Museum
Mozart's Grave
Schoenbrun Palace
The Easter Market
The Technology Museum
Karlskirche

 

After a LONG walk and a bus ride we finally found the Military Museum

A huge collection from Medieval to Modern times. More Photos Here

Not many tourists took this "shortcut" to the old cemetery

But we finally found Mozart's Grave

Schoenbrun Palace: More Photos Here

Easter Market at Schoenbrun

The Technology Museum (near Schoenbrun)

Quite a collection (More photos here)

Finally back in central Vienna: This train station was designed by an artist

Street musicians are a common sight

Karlskirche where you take an elevator to the top of the dome

To see the frescoes up close

The open elevator was kind of scary

But the view was great
