If you haven't yet made it, you need to go to the Schoenbrunn! Fan and Yawen couldn't have been more right in their blog when they say it is beautiful! Mac and I were literally speechless when we went inside. It feels like you are taken out of your century and into the world of palaces and fanciness. I went to Versalles two years ago, and Mac was there a couple weeks ago. The Schoenbrunn is in stark contrast to Versalles, which is falling apart, almost beyond repair. The Schoenbrunn is still completely royal and posh looking. Fan and Yawen were very diligent in their tour and exploration of the Schoenbrunn, we don't what more we should say!
Even though those guys are posing for the picture, we really don't know them!
When we went to the Tiergarten, we literally turned into little kids again. I was freaking out, Mac was crazy excited, it was amazing. It's crazy just how excited seeing animals makes you! And seeing animals wasn't the only thing that made the Tiergarten so beautiful, being there was kind of like being in a fantasy land, a small escape from reality. This will definitely be the place to go when I need to get away from the city-ness of Vienna. I could definitely see Maria Theresa escaping there when she needed to get away from the stresses of ruling an empire.
The "Gloriette Schönbrunn" has an amazing view of the city and of the palace gardens. There is a restaurant up there that - if you want to spend a lot of money - you can eat at! It is worth it to get a coffee and watch the city below.
Everyone should come here at some point, it is such a unique and special place. We will definitely be back, for an evening run, a strole in the park, and to see the animals in the Tiergarten.
