Sunday Strolls

Sundays in Wien are pretty quiet. Unlike the UK, the shops, businesses and supermarkets are all closed on a Sunday - handy hint is to purchase any food/snacks on a Saturday, or you'll end up very hungry if you're on a budget and not wanting to splash out on a restaurant meal. 

This Sunday, James and I strolled the city in search of brunch and to help us try and get our bearings around this mammoth city. We enjoyed a casual brunch at cafe Einstein, just outside the centre. It was reasonably priced, but please be warned that European service is a tad different to what we are used to. In the UK, you can expect the waiters/waitresses to be hownding you to leave and offering you the bill; but Vienna is very different! You can sit, relax and contemplate hours away in cafe, or restaurant, until YOU ask for the bill :) 

After a hearty brunch; well not for James, we enjoyed a stroll around the beautiful city and stumbled upon a carnival in the park. One thing you must do in Vienna is sample the cakes at the local cafés, especially the 'sorta torte' cake (famous in Vienna) - ladies, you can not worry about calories whilst living here, you will be devouring cake! 

The best thing about this city is it's sheer beauty in the centre - you will be mesmourised by the architecture and history that is to offer - I'm still in awe that I'm actually living here :)
