Honeymoon Day 8 ~ Vienna, Austria (31 Jan 09)

Vienna was the last stop for the whole 10 days trip. Gosh, it was coming to an end soon and I just don't feel like going back... huhuhu.


Schonbrunn Palace and Garden
Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna is one of the most important cultural monuments in Austria. The palace and gardens illustrate the tastes, interests, and aspirations of successive Habsburg monarchs. We were not allowed to take pictures in the palace, therefore, only outdoor pics of the palace.







The Belvedere ~ the palace at the heart of Vienna, was once the Baroque summer residence of the renowned general and art connoisseur Prince Eugene.

The Palace Gardens starting at the Lower Belvedere, the baroque garden layout unfolds in strict symmetry along a central axis to the prestige building of the Upper Belvedere. The whole concept accords with the French model, stereometrically arranged trees and hedges, sculpture, and fountains and cascades.


Statue of Maria Theresa, archduchess of Austria, Holy Roman Empress; of the great reforming monarchs of the 18th century. She was also known as Mother of Nation.

St. Stephen's Cathedral ~ The most important religious building in Austria's capital.


Night view of the Cathedral...


Free and easy in Vienna town for the whole afternoon....

Manner is the best chocolate in Vienna.
