Days 20 & 21 - Vienna, Austria

6/5
When we arrived in Vienna we walked around for the afternoon.


Part of the Habsburg Palace.


A statue of Mozart.



The stables of the Lipizzaner horses that are trained at the palace.


Plaza within the palace.


Stephansdom Cathedral.


6/6
Today we visited Schonbrunn Palace, the Habsburg dynasty's summer palace.  Afterwards we went to the grave site of Beethoven and Mozart.  Next we went to the Imperial Crypt which lies below the Capuchin Church and monastery.  Many people from the Habsburg dynasty are buried here.  Lastly we visited a museum within the palace that had the Silver Collection, Sisi Museum, and Imperial Apartment.  I was not allowed to take pictures at the museum.


Me in front of the palace, the gardens in the following picture are behind this building.
