Ringstrasse Boulevard is lined with beautiful buildings like the Rathaus (town halll), the Spanish Riding School, and the Hofburg Palace.

I must be the odd one out but I don't truly enjoy Vienna.
October 30, 2018
I must be the odd one out but I don't truly enjoy Vienna. Been more than twice as others love it but I haven't ever found that the prices were worth the experience. I paid A LOT just to park my car there and that seemed quite an unnecessary extra. I always do enjoy the classical music concerts offered around the city but the people dressed up (sad attempts at historical costumes) and shoving papers in your face EVERYWHERE gets annoying. The museums are also a favorite. I enjoyed the royal palaces around the city which give the history of the Habsburg Dynasty and at the Belvedere Palace, the art museum was fantastic. Worth the entrance fee. Hotels are too highly priced and this city suffers from a over rated sense of self esteem. Its carried over from its glory days of the past.

One of Hop-on Hop-off bus driver was terrible. I came back to the bus station two minutes before the schedule and ready to get on the bus but the driver closed the door and left. I waived my hand to stop the bus but the lady driver turned her face to the other side. It was raining and I had to wait 30 minutes for the next bus.

October 24, 2018
I thought Vienna would be beautiful like Salzburg and Paris, France. When I found out 2,000,000 people live there, it made sense. There were a few trolleys, not many, traffic at breakneck speed, lots of construction. The police and people in general were rude. I didn’t feel safe nor wanted. I don’t think I’d go back.
