Sunday was a much more relaxed affair! We started the morning with breakfast at Vollpension – which is a cafe run by grandmas and grandpas. What a brilliant concept! We were welcomed by a lovely grandma who looked after us impeccably.

Today’s highlight was going to be the Schloss Schonbrunn – a palace that like many others tried to emulate Versailles, but as usual didn’t quite get there.

We then returned to Vienna town and followed the Lonely Planet historic walking route, before hopping on the train to our next destination. Here are a few highlights of the walk:

We saw only a smidgeon of Vienna during our visit. It’s definitely a city that promises so much more. Nor had we realised how wonderful a destination it would be for delicious food. We’re sure to return!
