In Vienna in May, roses bloom everywhere, in gardens and parks, different colors, varieties and sizes.
The forecast promised rain, so I decided to devote the first days of the trip to walk in the fresh air, and the museums are on rainy weather.
On the first day I walked around the center along Ringstrasse, visited Cathedral Karlskirm. In the cathedral, you can climb under the dome on the transparent elevator to see the painting.
The next day - Schönbrunn, Palace, Park, Strudel Show.
I did not go to the zoo, I do not like it. I visited the greenhouse, inside did not find anything interesting for myself, but the building is luxurious. Opposite the entrance to the greenhouse there is a cacti pavilion, always amazed how picturesque they look, if they are growing at home on the windowsill, but planted with groups. Further went on the train, the park is big, the path to Glorietta is not a bit, besides slightly in the mountain.
I could not get around the attention and botanical garden. Visit him comfortably after Belvedere, to which he is adjacent. There is also a mountaineering with a separate entrance, paid, unlike the Botanical Garden itself. The tracks are laid, there are benches for recreation. Very nice kindergarten, plants are chosen and planted with such a taste that the illusion of natural lushes is created. The botanical garden surprised me, at first it seemed that this was just a well-kept park, all herbs and flowers grew by themselves. Looking around, I saw - each epics have a name plate.
Belvedere - two palaces, upper and lower, between which a park with flower beds and fountains are broken.
The Lower Belvedere is interesting to the interiors, there used to be residential premises. Upper Belvedere was used for solemn receptions, now it is a feature gallery.
I visited and Opera, unfortunately, not a performance, only a tour of the building, a sessesian museum, representing Viennese Modern. I tried a real cake Zaher. I can not say that I didn't like it at all, but I didn't find anything magical in it. Favorite Candy Mozart bought both herself, and as a gift, perhaps it seemed to me, but in Vienna they are tastier than those that are sold from us.
With the weather forecast, weather forecasters were mistaken, there was no rain, so I did not get to museums, Hofburg and Albertin remained for the next trip.
