Our Full year and Spring students shared some of their impressions and favorite sights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The best thing about Vienna was the vast number of art and cultural museums to visit, especially with the student discount!” – Nina Grafton ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I really liked seeing all the beautiful architecture in Vienna, from the castles to the cathedrals. If you’re not looking up in Vienna, you’re really missing out. Furthermore, the art we got to see at the museums we visited was really special. I particularly liked the art of Gustav Klimt we got to see. And, of course, the Falco musical was a classic.” – Crosby Wilkin ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This trip to Vienna was a great opportunity to see things that I probably wouldn\u2019t have done if I had gone there alone. My favorite thing was definitely the Rock Me Amadeus musical because I\u2019m already a big fan of musicals and it was a very fun way to practice my German!” – Delaney Bright ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Wandering through Vienna felt like I was walking through a history book of classical music. It was fascinating to see how spaces occupied by great composers are now occupied with more modern musical productions, like when we saw Rock Me Amadeus in the historical Theater Ronacher.” – Olivia Ammon ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There was so much beautiful art in and out of museums, and I loved getting a peek at the fancy horses at the Spanische Hofreitschule!” – Isabel Ames ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I liked walking around Vienna and visiting the Vienna Actionism Museum (WAM) and Leopold Museum. But my favorite part overall was visiting Bratislava and learning more about Slovakia.” – Naomi Mathewson ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI loved visited Vienna because it was exciting discovering the similarities and differences between German and Austrian culture.\u201d – Makayla McCloskey ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I definitely appreciated Vienna\u2019s history the most, from medieval structures like Stephan\u2019s Dome and crypts to more modern ones like Sch\u00f6nbrunn palace.” – Walker Green ’26<\/p>\n\n\n\n
