In the sunny morning light, I found the room was really big; other than the bedroom area there was also an entrance area and living area. The hotel lobby had a library and reading room, the building itself was beautiful too. It used to be a Riding School. We left the hotel early to see the morning practice at the Spanish Riding School. No cameras were allowed at the practice, so I don’t have any photos for that, but the experience was nice—with gentle classic music, the dressed up riders rode their well trained horse for practice. For both horses and riders every movement was controlled, every motion had rules. I could watch it for hours.
Vienna, capital of music, it was classic, peaceful and friendly. Walking in its streets, crossing its bridges, I enjoyed the romantic atmosphere. If the Seine River in Paris is a beautiful lady, then Danube River in Vienna is a sheet of music.

Another reason for me to love Vienna — Princes Sisi! I had seen the Princes Sisi movie when I was little and have been a fan of Sisi since. I had already visited Munich where Sisi was born and Vienna was the place where she lived after being married to the King of Austria. Vienna is the place to get to know more about the real Sisi—Empress Elisabeth of Austria. The real Sisi was really pretty too, although her personality wasn’t the same like descried in the move, still, I was glad that I was there, and that was the closest I could get to Princes Sisi.

There is something about Vienna connected to me, it is the only city that I’ve visited that let me feel that romance in the air. Is it Sisi? Is it music? Is it Danube? I don’t know.Too bad we were only there for 4 days.
