Vienna is Famous For...

After the amusement park, we visited two of Vienna’s famous sites--the Hundertwasser House and the Spanish Riding School. Hundertwasser was an artist and an architect who was inspired by nature which resulted in bold colors and uneven lines. This building, containing 52 apartments and 250 trees and bushes, was finished in 1996. We didn’t go in his museum, but did eat at the museum cafe which also featured uneven floors and lots of mosaics. Although we missed seeing the famous Lipizzaner horses perform, we did manage to do a tour of the stables. Ashlynn was greatly disappointed that we weren’t allowed to pet these beautiful horses, but that didn’t stop one of them from giving her an illegal nuzzle.
