Vienna is a wonderful city! I am very grateful that we were able to take the time to explore the city so closely. I had the chance to see my first ever opera here, and Vienna certainly lives up to its name as the city of music!\u00a0

There was a lot to love about Vienna, the cafes, the museums, the architecture, the history, etc. I really loved getting to see all of these beautiful aspects of Vienna in different ways. I enjoyed how much free time we had as well. It was so interesting to hear how everyone spent their time in various ways.\u00a0

Since my early days spent learning German, Vienna has been at the top of my list of places to visit. The trip felt, therefore, like a dream come true. While I can’t guarantee that my years-long ambition to visit the Austrian capital had no influence on my impression of the city, I attest Vienna to be truly remarkable. It’s hard to find the right\u2013or even worthy adjectives\u2013to describe Vienna’s opulence. The city was far more beautiful than I could have imagined; even the tucked-away side streets off the beaten baroque-palace-lined path had a special charm. I think a quote from the Vienna-based band, Wiener Blond, sums up the unique, somewhat-stuffy, and, above-all, charming atmosphere best: Wien “du bist keine Stadt, eigentlich bist du ein Museum”, they sing, Vienna, you’re no city, really you’re a museum. <\/em>

Vienna was such a great city! As a group we went to multiple different museums and historic sites such as the Art History Museum, The Vienna Library, and got to have a tour of the United Nations! My favourite place I got the chance to see was the Hundertwasser Museum!\u00a0
