Vienna is astonishing and picturesque in Autumn.
Barely touched by WWII, an unusual happening to be sure, everything about Vienna is stunning.
It’s buildings are covered with intricate designs and are a clean, clear white.
The cities statues are exotic, clean and embellished with golden filigree.
Down every street there are dramatic buildings and adorable cafes.
With its elegant statues and buildings, Vienna seems to be on show or display for all of her visitors and travelers from around the world.
Walking through the stately city one feels like royalty surrounded by a city built to look like a palace.
Having only stayed one day in the beautiful city I can say little for its culture other than the local residences are kind and welcoming and friendly.
One stranger asked me to watch his bag while he bought a coffee and when he returned he told me when next in Vienna to let him know and he would show me around the city.
The night of my arrival from Venice, after a rather long journey, I climbed aboard the metro on my way to the outskirts of the city.
Although it was nearly midnight, the strange city seemed to live up to its reputation of being one of the safest in the world despite my hostel’s location being so far out of the way and I met with not even the smallest of problems.
It was at the reception desk of my hostel that I learned the first fact of Austria, that it is illegal to make any loud noises after 10 pm. I had to laugh wondering if my typing would be considered loud enough to gain attention in the quite dorms of the hostel.
The next morning after a wonderfully large breakfast provided by the hostel, I returned to the metro with a girl I had met that morning.
From there we explored the city, walking through parks and cathedrals, tasting exquisite pastries and chocolates, and photographing buildings and statues.
We walked above one of the rivers and suddenly saw how colorful the city of Vienna was with the autumn leaves covering the bushy trees and the imaginative street art that we began to notice everywhere.
Vienna seems to be caught in time, if not for the cars it would look exactly the same as it had 100 years ago-stunning and fit for royalty.
