  • Join me on my morning walk through the gardens of Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. This is my favorite place in Vienna and it was here that I fell in the love with the city over 20 years ago.

    Hi Gene , what a great view. Thanks for taking that hike for us. I would’ve said no way no I probably would’ve sent the hubs up and done a over voice. OK very beautiful. Thanks for all the tips. I am totally living vicariously through you. Have a great visit tell mom hello.TFS 👛🛍️🙏🚢🦆

      Thanks for watching. Yes, it is quite a hike. The hill is taller than it looks from the bottom, but worth the trek. I’ll have to do it more often now, as It’s probably been 8 years since I went up there last.

      I’m so glad you came to Vienna. It’s a great city. Yes, poor Maria Antonia. The children of monarchs never had a choice back then of whom they are with. Marriages were just a tool for political gain.

    Aww, Gene, thanks for the hike up. Wow to 10 visits to Vienna! My family lives throughout Europe, and often speaks of the beauty of Vienna! Do you know which cathedral is in the distance at 16:31 on the right side? It reminds me of the Cologne Cathedral (Kölner Dom) in Germany, not too far from the Frankfurt Airport. Definitely worth a visit. You can climb to the top for an amazing view! The foundation stones were laid in 1248. It's spectacular! Thank you for vlogging this amazing trip! I'm seeing Vienna for the first time through your eyes! Love the history you are sharing. Makes the moments even more meaningful.

The first time I was there I thought it was Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, which is Central Vienna, but it isn’t. It’s the Kirchenbeitragsstelle. I have never been but had to look it up.
