Vienna, Austria

VIENNA, AUSTRIA

Geography Fascination:

The most obvious geography that Vienna has is the Ringstrasse.  It was very cool to visit something we learned so much about in class.  It was very spacious!  Where there was once a wall now lies a main road, and within the road the city contains so many historical buildings, museums, and parks including the Burg theater, Parliament building, the Natural History/Art History Museums, Volksgarten, and the Staatsoper. The feel of the city inside the Ringstrasse was unlike any other part of Vienna.  It was so historical and unique to Austria.  Such a tourist destination, but it was wonderful.

Favorite Academic Experience:

My favorite academic experience was biking through Wachau Valley, Austria on our winery tour! Basically, this was on my top two favorite days of the entire trip.  I felt like I was biking through a painting and drinking heaven juice...  Seriously though, this was such an amazing experience that should definitely continue every year on CETS.

Favorite Non- Academic Experience:

My favorite non- academic experience was hanging in Volksgarten.  It was a beautiful smelling and looking place.. it was a swell way to spend a beautiful day in the sun!

Favorite Place to Eat:

I went to a restaurant called Mini right outside the Ringstrasse.  We loved everything about this place. Quality of food and service were exceptional and for a more than reasonable price. We had aperitifs, appetizers, main courses and dessert, and everything was superb. Lovely courtyard setting in summer. Not right in the heart of town, but worth the walk.
