Vienna is a beautiful town and quite large at 1.6 million residents; however many of the tourist sites are compacted into a central area within walking distance. We were up early and off to the Stephansdom, which is a pretty large Church in town. One of the employees asked if we were Americans. Yes, why? Well, Americans are always up early. They don't know how to sleep in Europe. Apparently, the employee had met with 3 other American couples, all before 9am. Europe doesn't even think about waking up until at least 10am!
We spent most of the day on foot. We walked to Belvedere (Upper and Lower), the Stadt park and several museums. By the end of the day, I had one little blister on my poor little pinkie toe. Belvedere is HUGE. We walked down the wrong street and ended up walking all the way around the complex before we could enter. It took us 45 minutes to walk around the complex...and we were walking at a pretty good pace, too.
Here's a picture of Upper Belvedere.
