Vienna
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | In this program, we'll nibble chocolate cake at an Old World café, and marvel at the indomitable Gothic cathedral at the heart of town. Then we’ll tiptoe through the Hofburg Palace, be dazzled by the Habsburg crown jewels at the Imperial Treasury, sniff vinegar and Kraut at the Naschmarkt, and waltz to the three-four beat of Johann Strauss in Vienna's City Park. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #vienna

Same here. I was in Europe back in June with some family. We went for 10 days. We were in Germany and Austria. It had been a dream of mine to go to Europe since I was young, and it was a dream come true for me. We stayed overnight in Vienna, and it was just an amazing place. We saw some great places. One of my favorite places we saw was Hotel Sacher. This was the birthplace of the Sachertorte. We all had a piece of Sachertorte, and it was absolutely delicious! We saw a statue of Johann Strauss in Stadtpark. This was right up my alley since I listen to classical music. Such an amazing trip

I've just returned from Vienna, I fell in love with this city so much. The architecture is just stunning.

Although there are many places in the world I could dream of going to, Austria and Switzerland are the ones I dream of the most. Wonderful video, that, God willing, I shall visit one day.
I started my trip to Europe last September in Vienna and was glad I saw it. My plans quickly unraveled but after visiting 15 cities in 7 different countries I unexpectedly ended up in Prague which had also once been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
A city well-worth visiting...try and take the train to Salzburg...wonderful...especially around Christmas time...

Shallow assessment of the Empress Elizabeth (Sisi). She was the number one reason why Hungary remained loyal to Franz Josef. She was loved by the Hungarians because she interceded on their behalf with her husband.
Fantastic coverages of all the places
I love Vienna .It is an awesome city. Ich mag Wien und würde gerne dorthin leben and arbeiten. Love it from Romania. Grüße aus Rumänien!😘😘😘

Hello from Vienna!!! 🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹🇦🇹
I went to Vienna in 1985 I have good memories from it Vienna is one of favourite cities
A few things I like to add to Mr. Steves' narrative, which was good as a general historical background for tourists, but still... That popular 'Hungarian uprising' he refers to in the middle of the video, was the 1848-49 Independence War, which the Habsburg forces were unable to defeat on their own. Only by overwhelming military intervention coming from the Russian czar, the Hungarians were finally overcome. The issue with Empress Sissi and her bittersweet story is also deserve to be expanded upon: Perhaps because of the stifling atmosphere in the Hofsburg, or because of her own suffering under the oppressive and tyrannical mother-in-law Princess Sophie, she has sympathized with the plight of Hungarians early on, which led her to became an unofficial advocate, who helped the Austrian - Hungarian Compromise to be accomplished in 1867. Later she enjoyed extended periods of time in that part of her realm, learned that difficult language, and became a through and through friend. Her loving memory is still alive there.

Just a day before I m back from Vienna ,lovely city . video is very nice .
Nice to see this almost 20 years after taping. I visit Vienna often and i love it there.
I love your videos, thank u Steve
Strauss was born there, Mozart lived there a few years - but in an (admittedly thoroughly enjoyable) documentary about one of my favourite cities and arguably the music capital of Europe if not the world, not a mention of the greatest musician of them all - Beethoven. Visit his humble apartment at the Pasqualatihaus in the Inner City, a short walk from the Burgtheater.
I'm from krakow which was in austro-hungarian empire and I can see some similarities there's also a ring road where the walls used to be and big opera building but everything is on a smaller scale. And from what I see cafe Trzesniewski has been established by Mr. Trzesniewski from Krakow.

Yeah it's Liberals that destroyed your culture. Right. Too bad there was never any culture to begin with unless you go back to native times. It's not like colonists were building anything more than what was useful to them. During America's war of independence and the civil war, there was town-torching and iconoclasm to boot to destroy what little there was (i.e. a statue of George III). I'm from NA and we have no culture like this, we never have. We have 3-400 years of history and most of it was nasty, brutish, and short.
