Albertina
The Albertina is one of the most important art museums in Vienna.
The focus of the collection, which is partly housed in historic state rooms, is on the Renaissance and Modernism.

Augustinerkirche
From the outside, the Augusiner Hofkirche is quite inconspicuous.
Some important weddings took place in the church, although one would not necessarily suspect this.
The church is especially known for the heart crypt of the Habsburgs.

Weltmuseum
The World Museum is an ethnological museum and has quite an important collection.
Unfortunately, photos are somewhat scarce, as most of the pieces are housed in glass cases that reflect heavily.
The modern part of the collection.

Cafe Demel
Cafe Demel is one of the traditional Viennese houses. Full, overpriced - but reasonably good quality. When you see the cakes, Kaiserschmarrn to go and strudel that go over the counter here, the good Demel can't stop laughing.

Dinner Room Service
Eating out in Vienna on Sunday is a challenge, almost everything is closed.
In the end we decided to order a few dishes via room service. Everything quite solid.

Schloss Schönbrunn - Orangerie
The orangery is especially one of the largest in Europe and has quite a pretty garden.
Today the building serves as an event space, in summer it is quite unspectacular.

Schloss Schönbrunn
Finally we went to the castle. First a look into the chapel.
Those who are now looking forward to pictures of the undoubtedly impressive state rooms are unfortunately out of luck.

From the top you have an even better view.
