After a long night on the Orient Express (should’ve booked a couchette) we arrived in Vienna. Not quite the Orient but surprisingly far East. Heinz and Merle Opelz welcomed us with food, a list of Wien must sees and a walk to the garden accommodation they had arranged for us with friends. Thanks once again to the Opelz family - from France to Austria (and the mountains in between) they have hosted some of our most memorable trips ...And for the perfect little house in the garden/dacha/allotment in the centre of town vielen Dank Walter und Hilde!
Helen’s Favourite Thing:
The Museum Quarter
A cool space in the centre of the city. Great for lounging in by day, even better by night. Oh, and home to the best collection of Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele.
