^^ Thank you!
I'm currently deciding whether I should stay in Vienna for a full week, or if I should spend four nights in Vienna and three in Budapest. So I'm writing a list of the places I want to visit in each city, to compare.
Is it easy to get around the inner city quickly? I want to walk as much as possible, as one sees more that way..
How might the weather be and what sort of shoes should I bring? I'm thinking flats.. I will be couchsurfing
shock:
) so I can't pack all that much.
Do you by any chance know which museum has the best collection of Schiele and Klimt? I'm also interested in seeing places relating to Marie-Antoinette, as I am quite fascinated by her whole life.
Oh, you're couchsurfing. That's cool, I'd like to try that too some time.
As for Schiele and Klimt: You'll find the biggest Schiele collection in the
Leopolds Museum in the MuseumsQuartier. And you should visit
Schloss Belvedere for Klimt. The
Albertina doesn't have as much Klimt or Schiele as the other museums do, but it's right in the city so if you are interested in art you should visit that one too. And if you decide to visit the flea market, the one I mentioned in the last post, you could stop by the Secession and look at Klimt's
Beethoven Frieze.
Overall it's pretty warm here right now so I think comfy flats should be ok.
And yeah, you definitely get around the inner city pretty quickly. You should get a map. The first and the seventh district are basically where all the interesting things are at and they are right beside each other so it's pretty easy to get around. There are metros, trains and buses everywhere so getting around shouldn't be a problem. Especially if you are staying with a local, you can always ask him/her how to get wherever you plan to go.
And a place related to Marie Antoinette would be the
Schloss Schönbrunn, it was her childhood home. Now I am not sure (but I don't think they do) if they have anything related to Marie Antoinette, but you could try the
Imperial Furniture Collection. And should vou visit either the
Kunsthistorisches Museum or the
National History Museum, you'll see a big statute of Maria Theresia.
I can't think of anything else right now but if I do I'll let you know.
Anything else you'd like to know?
After I lived in the US for a while and came back here I started doing this "tourist in your own city"-thing so really if you'd like some more recommandations I'd be more than happy to help you out.
great labels like Carpe Diem, Marni, Alaia. They used to carry Carol Christian Poell as well.
