We spent today doing a whirlwind tour of Vienna on the ‘Hop on, hop off’ bus tours. We stopped off in a few places but mainly just sat and listened. There were 3 circuits exploring slightly different parts of the city.
The main site we visited was ‘Albertina’ the Vienna Art Museum, which is part of the Imperial Palace or Hofburg, and currently holds a collection of art from multiple European artists. At present it has an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s ‘Cars’. Picasso also features in this museum but unfortunately none of his more famous works. At one end of the museum they had art displayed in some of the Palace rooms - it was interesting to see how the poor people live :-)!
We were going to try to find Mozart House but it started teeming with rain whilst we were in the museum and we were caught without an umbrella or rain gear.... so we decided a local beverage and some dinner would be better!
