Vienna, a city to enjoy - Vienna is a very interesting city for lovers of music, architecture and art in general. It can be said that it is the city of Atlanteans, since like other capitals of Europe, but in this very unique way, these stucco figures, decorate most of the facades of the buildings, placing them in the jambs of the access door and also under the balconies and the galleries. For 5 days I was visiting the city and I can say that the two most interesting museums I saw were the Leopold Museum and the Museum of Art History. The first of these, in addition to the temporary exhibitions, which are usually very interesting, houses the largest exhibition of design furniture of the Secession era and a very good collection of paintings by the painter Egon Shiele. The Museum of Art History takes you on a journey from Egyptian culture to Greek culture to 19th century painting. If you like Brueghel you have the greatest concentration of his work in this Museum. All the works are perfectly lit and the rooms have sofas where you can rest and relax enjoying the view of the pictures. Vienna also has a large number of sculptural works in its squares and parks. In short, a great city worth visiting.

Awesome! - My family and I went on a short trip to Vienna & Hungary a few days ago. We decided to book the Jewish walking tour of Vienna. We are Jewish AND from Vienna originally (back in the day) and I wanted my children to get a glimpse of our heritage. Our guide was Christopher- he was wonderful and very knowledgeable! Thanks for a great tour! Perfect experience!
