Why I love Vienna, part 1


:

Vienna is one of the loveliest places I've ever been to.

The streets are clean..
The people are friendly...
There are horses everywhere....
Everyone is classy...
You can drink hot wine in the street (that you can buy right there, on the street!!)!!!

My friends and I met at the Vienna airport on the 31st. I flew out of New York and the others flew out of Toronto / Dubai. These ladies are the best friends a girl could ask for - fun, supportive, ambitious, intelligent and kind. We all met in university and this trip was our first "big girl" vacation together. It was a blast. We ended up going to Vienna, Bratislava and Prague. Each city was very differently wonderful and I'm so happy that my first Europe experience was in these amazing cities with my amazing friends. My only complaint while we were there: it was really bloody cold (-18 C). Luckily there was lots of hot wine being sold on the streets in convenient to-go cups to keep us warm!

We rented a beautiful apartment off of booking.com. Check it out:
