Since no wow factor exploring the city, we've jointly decided to join a day trip to Salzburg which is well known for The Sound of Music - the movie was shot there few decades back. Our time spent in Vienna was just half day. We visited Hofburg Palace at the city centre...we didnt manage to snap good pictures as there's some kind of fun fair going on with lots of booths and food stalls set up around Hofburg Palace and surrounding buildings...this actually spoilt the whole view! Hence...we also didn't spent too much of time there and move on to attractions nearby.
Next, we went to Schonbrunn Palace. We didnt visit the inner of the palace as while we reached there its kinda late and also bcoz of the expensive entrance fee charged. So....we just hang around the palace garden instead. The palace garden reminds me of Versailles in Paris again..with the similar look and feel but Versailles is much bigger in fact. Nothing much to expect, rolling on grass as usual, pose and snap pictures, and day dreaming...nice weather...i just love it!
Early next day, we're set to Salzburg. It was quite a long journey ~~3 hours bus ride to reach there. I tried so hard not to sleep in the bus so as to capture as much country view of Austria as possible. The country view of Salzburg!....the origin place of the movie The Sound of Music!...the scenery is just so unreal! This picture explain all...with my limited english vocab....i seriously dunno how to put it in words..
To summarize, my rating towards Vienna is just 6/10. Salzburg would be 9/10
Footnote: scared off my the many drop-outs, drugdealers and alcoholic vagrants at one of the busy underground station...its just scary~~~~
