Vienna, Austria

From Budapest to Vienna we got by BlaBlaCar. Our driver turned out to be a ukrainian, driving from western Ukraine to Vienna :smile: Our drive was fast and uneventful and we've settled in our apartment once we got there. Like in Zurich, our apartment had automated check-in - there was a safe near to the apartment, and the agency had emailed us a password for the safe a day before. Inside the safe was the key for apartment - and no need to wait for anybody :smile:
Our apartment was not far away from amusement park called Prater. The giant ferris wheel, called Riesenrad, was built in 1896. There are lots of attractions, contests and other activities in this park.
On the next day we went to the city center. We started from the City Hall and Rathausplatz. On the days we were in Vienna there was some kind of cinema festival, and there was a giant screen and seats for the free screenings.
And of course the journey wouldn't be complete without a visit to a local city market :smile: We went to the Naschmarkt not far away from the Opera. It's the biggest market in Vienna. The market was here since XVIII century.
And lastly we went to the park of Belveder - Belvederegarten. Belvedere Palace was built as a summer residency of prince Eugene of Savoy's.
