12/08/2025 summer trip to Vienna

Had a four day trip with my family to Vienna in the start of August. Weather was nice and not too hot luckily, reaching around 28 degrees celsius. We walked around the city, ate a lot of chinese food, tried a wiener schnitzel, tasted a beer and drank several mattes. I also did some sketches while there which will be under 'projects' when I get to scan them and upload to my local drive. We took the public transport a lot (always makes me weirdly proud of myself when I figure out the train system in other countries). Some of the stop names I made an effort to remember includes:

Karlsplatz
Schottenring
Rathaus
Wien Mitte-Landstraße
Seestadt
Praterstern
Kahlenberg
Oberlaa
Wien Nußdorf

My favourite day was going up to Kahlenberg (granted we took the bus up, but we did hike downwards) and watching the view from the top. As we went further down the hundreds and hundreds rows of vineyards, albeit still not in harvest season, were beautiful to look at. Below are some pictures i took on my digicam, which really doesn't do it justice:

Next time I go to Austria (which I hopefully will! on a budget probs aha) I hope to go more south or west, closer to the more extravagant nature and the alps to enjoy some mountain action or towns around big gorgeous lakes. City life is great but nothing beats being in green areas.
