Amy needed a veg day so stayed at home to annoy her aunt and uncle. I headed off in the 6 degree weather, suitably rugged up to explore a bit of Vienna on foot.
First I headed to a church about 15 minutes from their place, it had lovely stained glass windows inside. I then walked passed the Rathus or town hall, had a look at the Parlament building and latter went back in for a tour, which was very informative and a magnificent building. Like many buildings in Austria and Europe it had been partly destroyed during the World Wars and later rebuilt.
I also spent a couple of hours in the Natural History Museum which had an amazing rock and mineral collection, stuffed animals and all sorts of other interesting collections housed in a beautiful building.
Then it was a bit more wandering the streets, a quick ride up to St Stephens bell tower and a view of Vienna, but not too long as there was a very cold wind blowing.
