After dropping off our luggage, it was time to venture out for some lunch at a nearby restaurant I found on Happy Cow. Just up the block from our hotel was this colorful building.
I can’t remember what we ate for lunch, but know that we loved the traditional
sachertorte, a chocolate cake invented in Vienna in 1832.
Our next stop was just across the street: Belvedere Gardens.
The Upper Belvedere was completed in 1723 as the summer residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Today it is the Belvedere Museum, housing the greatest collection of Austrian art, which unfortunately we didn’t have time to visit.
There were lots of intricate statues, but I think they were mostly made of cement instead of marble.
The skies became very dramatic and we skittered back to our hotel to sit out some rain.
