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.
It's been a very long time but it is nice to see this, i was here 20 years ago, nice to see it again, my mother loves gardens, ❤️ she dragged us to them, while the building is amazing, it is the gardens i remember ❤️
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.
Thanks so much for the vlog and stories. I had no idea about Marie Antoinette and Mozart! I see why you love Vienna so much. Gorgeous views from the top of the hill, too. I'm a firm believer in getting out and about before the tourist hordes descend.
@@dcjimr1 Thank you. Yes, especially at places like this. It’s so much more enjoyable when it’s not crowded and you can take pictures without 10,000 people in them.
Beautiful video! Thanks so much for sharing! I so enjoyed learning the history of the palace. I've never been to Vienna so this has been a wonderful introduction! Thanks!
I have never heard such excitement in your voice and I talk to you literally everyday 😊 I’m so happy that you are having such a great time. Give your mom a hug and a kiss for me. Bring me back soon sausages 😌❤
Oh, this was such a good vlog. :-) I loved seeing the gardens and then I had to go and read about Maria Antoinette and Marie Teresa...and the palace. So beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. :-)
Gene, thank you so much for taking us! This was fabulous. I love the Palm House. That section was my favorite! And sus ruins??? I had no idea! Now I want to see Vienna more than ever! ❤
Sus ruins. Haha. Well you will have to come here. The Palm House area is my favorite section too and it’s never crowded, no matter what time because the tour groups just won’t spend enough time there to show the whole gardens.
Hi Gene great vlog video you’re getting really good at it love the views and all of the history Vienna is so beautiful it’s one of the places I haven’t been to you’ve got me itching for a trip though thank you so much for the inspiration can’t wait to see more 💚💚💚
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.
@@KindnessMatters_ Thank you so much. At 16:31 it’s actually a church. It’s huge, isn’t it. 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. Where does your family live? Thanks for watching.
@@totesgene That's so interesting about the Kirchenbeitragsstelle church. Europe is so beautiful with its architecture. My family lives in Germany, Sweden, and Switzerland. TFS!
@@totesgene Germany is beautiful! My family lives mostly in and around Köln (Cologne) and Helmstedt. Have you been to the Christmas Markets in Germany? Bavaria is beautiful too!
@@KindnessMatters_ I’ve been to Berlin (several times, it’s one of my favorite cities), Koln, Dusseldorf, Munich, Stuttgart. I love Germany. I hate cold weather so I’ve only been to Europe once in the winter and it was in January. Do you come often?
Wonderful tour 😊
Such a gorgeous location and love your walking tour commentary. So informative. It felt like I was there and you were my tour guide!
@@houseofmarksman thanks for watching. It was fun to do. It’s my favorite place there. I managed to go back three more times before I left.
It's been a very long time but it is nice to see this, i was here 20 years ago, nice to see it again, my mother loves gardens, ❤️ she dragged us to them, while the building is amazing, it is the gardens i remember ❤️
It’s so great that you’ve been to Vienna. I agree, the gardens are unforgettable. It’s just such a beautiful place to take a long stroll.
Have a wonderful time in your fav place, my friend! Love all of your knowledge regarding this palace! Such a magnificent place!
Thank you. Wish you were with me. Would be fun to show you this place someday.
