We, of course, wandered all around central Vienna. The city is both amazing and overwhelming, with monuments and sculpture everywhere. It's clear this was the capital of an empire. Here is just a slice of the enormous Hofburg, the Imperial Palace.

We spent an afternoon at Vienna's fine arts museum. The collect was huge, and even the architecture itself was dizzying in its complexity.
