🇦🇹 Only 2 Days in Vienna? Try This Perfect City Walk Route!
📍 Vienna, Austria The heart of Europe 🎶 A world-renowned capital of music I recently passed through Vienna and spent two intense yet amazing days exploring the historic center — all by walking, without spending a single euro on entrance fees! Walked 30,000 steps a day through a city sculpted over centuries by the Habsburg Empire. Gothic and Baroque styles blend seamlessly, preserving an authentic medieval charm. Lavish palaces, elegant urban layouts, statues of composers everywhere — streets, theaters, and halls named after musicians. Cafés, flower shops, and grocery stores nestle inside storied buildings. Even the wind seems to carry fragments of music 🎵 — it’s like wandering through an open-air museum of art. 🗺️ Day 1 Route: 🏛️ Schönbrunn Palace — Baroque architectural marvel 💿 Alt & Neu Record Store — filming location from Before Sunrise.
