Vienna























Vienna! Just 3 hours away from Budapest lies the capitol of Austria -- Vienna! It is full of history and here are some interesting facts:

-World famous classical composers, including Mozart, Beethoven, Strauss, Schubert, and Brahms, have all lived and performed in Vienna.

-It has been home to various artists such as Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, and Arthur Schnitzler.

-The largest emerald in the world (2860 caret) is displayed in the Imperial Treasury in Vienna.

-The highest waterfall in Europe is in Kriml Falls in Vienna reaching 1,250 feet.

I spent two nights in Vienna trying to see as many sights as I could. Here's what I found :)
