by lizzie1715
If every picture tells a story, then my pictures of the wonderful cakes we ate in Vienna (all in only 3 days) will tell of the wonderful taste temptations that abound in Vienna. We almost lived on cakes alone, there were so many delicious ones around. No regrets, it was worth the weight gain.

if you want to rent a room in Wien,do not forget that it is a very expensive city;if you find a room in a house,you will think that you pay the rent for the whole house;through an agency,you will have to pay 3 months to the agency,3 months as safe deposit,and the month to come;so the first day you will have already given 7 months
Monuments in the city park

City Park is a spa, a green oasis in the middle of the city, but also, an open-air collection of precious artworks, that reminds at important celebrities of the music lives and the history of Vienna.

The monuments of Hans Makart, Robert Stolz, Schindler, or Andreas-Zelinka are placed on the avenues of the park.
