24 Hours in VIENNA, Austria! (including Christmas markets)
We are in Vienna for the weekend to experience all that it has to offer in Winter from visiting its famous Christmas markets to Royal palaces and tasting local dishes aloh warms you up quite a bit we’re going in the right direction hand scr freezing our butt Off so it’s actually -3° right now in but it’s sunny so yeah which makes it a lot nicer but it’s still cold as you can see from what I’m wearing everything is covered as much as possible we just found out that it’s a public holiday
Today so I don’t know how much is open today but at least we have tickets for Belair Palace later first up breakfast or they’re full at the moment but we got this pager which will let us know when a table becomes available so for now we’re going to stroll the street
Of Vienna I wonder what is the range on this thing how far can you go well she said we can go to the flower Shop so beautiful I wish you could take one of these Home what did you get we got waffles with the Almond cran Bret cold brew coffee mixed with love orange lemonade let’s see I’m so excited I love trying new things wow very interesting you can definitely taste the coffee and the orange the mixture is hard to describe it’s on I order again probably
Not so that was the delicious breakfast the area we’re in right now is near we West banov which is about a 40-minute walk to District 1 which is a city center of Vienna the heart of Vienna the first up is going to be the nush Market
Which is a big food market yeah we’re not sure if it’s going to be open today cuz it’s a public holiday but we’re going to still walk there and uh see if it’s open yeah think it’s crossed we’ve asked a few locals and they think it’s open but not 100% Sure an Ikea right here that’s the first time we’ve seen an Ikea in the middle of a city you three so we’re not walking anymore to windy and we have a 3-day public transport pass so we have to make the most of It we got a 72-hour ticket which is 18 per person for 3 Days to use unlimited amount of public transport we’ve switched from Google Maps to city mapper which seems to work a lot better here in Vienna it takes you through the Direction step by step which is what I need It seems like we have landed in the shopping street Maria H district 6 saying District sounds like we’re in The Hunger Games the tribute from District 12 catniss everine and Peter Malar oh this is my business idea real Show oh I think we’ve just walked back a metro stop you mean we’re back where we started yeah we have to go that way directions Hannah with directions maybe you should Do I can already smell the alcohol in the air the glue wine is everywhere we can have it tonight at the Christmas Market every country we visit whether it’s summer winter Autumn spring we look for a little Christmas ornament to take home these are really cute but they’re €20 per piece so in case you’re wondering what happened to our South African zomia series still going on we still have a couple of videos to release
But the problem is if we release all of them then this video that you’re seeing right now will end up in January rather than Christmas so that’s why we’ve switched over a little bit and there options for shopping over here super cute Street also super expensive there’s something called Sparkling tea €6 looks sort of open but we’re going to See although mozard is from salsburg a different city in Austria he lived in Vienna and that’s why everywhere you can find these little Mozart cougle with like chocolate and then marsipan inside but we are yet to try some they sell everything here from spices to tea to socks to
Kebabs to Fresh Produce such as meat fruit and sweets here know have you seen this before no so L never heard of that I have never in my life seen this fruit it’s so cool look at the color and the spikes everywhere thank thank you this store looks on point everything
Looks so beautifully presented K with caramel salts very nice very nice really very good try caramel for you little little it’s a very local market and what I like about it so much is that many shops only specialized in one or two things like this shop behind me only
Sells oil and vinegar it must mean that they do it really well and this shop only sells fish and they even have something that we’ve only ever seen in Sardinia it’s called Baga and it’s made out of fish eggs very interesting Flavor because we are free freezing our fingers off just look how red they are we’re going to find a spot where we can sit and warm up with the Drink what is this place it’s very cool I think there’s so many cues everywhere because it’s a public holiday weekend So it turns out behind us is the hofberg which is one of the largest Palace complexes in the world was formerly the residence of the Imperial family and today a hot spot for museums politicians and events according to w.info so coming close the que is moving I’ve lost all
Feeling in my fanges something is wrong with the left Fang it’s almost time to warm up our fanges always are fanges what’s wrong with the plan there’s nothing wrong with the plane the left fangi there’s no fangi oh my God this plane doesn’t even have a fangi the
Cuum continues inside but at least we’re Here yeah we got a good spot cross to the bar it’s time for a hot drink wow we ordered some up strudle and it looks amazing also really like how every cafe or restaurant you go get a little glass of water to go with your
Meal I have a pu oh it’s warm my hands are defrosting already feel alive again let’s try some of the vanilla sauce it’s like custom Just as I’m feeling a little bit warmer it’s time to hit the road Again inside the palman house where we just had our coffee is also a schling house which translates to Butterfly House Butterfly Lara all of a sudden I feel like I’m acious so back in Sri Lanka so tropical here let’s see how many butterflies SP Spot after about an hour of the butterfly hatching it’s already able to fly it takes some time for it to strengthen its Wings these humid conditions are also great for growing Mushrooms feels like it’s a 25 30° difference in here I’m starting to sweat already just to highlight the difference between inside and outside there is a papay tree and there’s the Snow so humid in here that the camera is starting to Fu up as Well female caterpillars lay 100 to 300 eggs on the plants caterpillars develop inside of these eggs and when the caterpillars are ready to hatch after a lot of eating and a lot of growing they bite open their own shell and wiggle their way Out I just read that the smallest butterfly has a wingspan of 3 mm and the largest 30 cm can you imagine that it’s time to go back into the cold when I can put two holes Here so what did you think of it it’s a really cool place to warm up a little feels very very tropical in the middle of winter but it’s so busy it’s packed it might have something to do with the public holiday weekend yeah but it takes away away a little bit from The
Experience that’s true but it’s still nice it’s a nice break in between from the cold and to see something completely different from what you would usually see yeah like watching butterflies in a tropical garden in the middle of December that’s pretty cool yeah that is
Now we have to hurry because we’ve got a ticket for the Bader pilus it has admission time slots which means you have to come at a specific time and we need to be there by 4:30 which is in half an hour Ready see yep Ready we got here just Before Sunset It looks like there’s a long queue so we better get in line so it looks like you can’t be early at the Bader Palace you either come at the allocated time slot exactly on time or you come later which is also a possibility so we’re a bit early we’re
Going to walk around until it’s 4:30 and then enter it’s already getting dark can’t believe it the days are so short here treeing our butts off got to wait outside yep have you ever seen a place that tells you to come after the allocated time sh not before yeah at
Least that means you can’t be late in case you come to Belair palace with a backpack bring two with you for the lockers s fit In there’s a upper and a lower section to the Palace in the upper badir where we are right now they have the permanent exhibition and in the lower badir they have temporary changing exhibitions we’re currently standing in The Marble Room and it’s Grand let’s see if I remember what I
Read 1955 the Austrian States treaty was signed right here in belvadere this restored the sovereignity of Austria after a Nazi Rule the sculptures are part of a collection of 16 heads conveying different types of human emotions emotion is this one this looks like a child saying they’re sad the eyes are kind of creepy cuz they don’t have any pupils in it so they look like demon Eyes is that how you think you draw versus how you actually draw Instagram versus reality the painting is so 3D looks like it’s coming right at you I wonder how much time they spent making these artworks yeah very impressive very detailed very Detailed Christmas Market time this what we came for they’re so big at the size of my Hand There’s so many different smells in the air it’s just smells like Christmas doesn’t it do the cues are so long at this Christmas Market that we’re going to go try find somewhere to have dinner and then go to another Christmas Market so we found a little restaurant nearby
Belad there it’s called Goldberg Cafe so it’s actually a cafe but we’re going to see if they have schnitzel Rea schnitzel yeah s sausage sal sal my best German I used to be flu in German when I was 5 years old where did it go all disappeared this is what we’ve been
Drinking every day it’s a fizzy drink called Al doodler and it has very herbal flavor from the nolands I would compare it to Rella but more herbal this is probably the best drink Austria has made it’s so delicious it’s arrived and it smells so good this dish is called p and
Soup very rich beef rough with uh sliced pancakes in it here oh it’s so hearty perfect for this cold weather the combination is so good the pancakes are little bit chewy and very Savory wow this is one piece of chil looks very crispy must say this bun is a bit small
For these two sausages how is this going to fit inside of this 80% of it is on the outside Back to the cold so we had a little bit of a rest now we want to check out another Christmas Market before we head back home to the apartment back home we’ve been there one night but we have a slight issue and that is that my phone
Is the only one that’s charged but I don’t have internet on my phone so we’re going to try find our way there by actually reading a map the thing is I do have a power bank but for some reason I brought the wrong cable so we can’t
Charge any of our devices and my phone sucks it dies after like half a day we’re at a tram stop I’m not sure if we’ll be able to figure out when to get out but I think the GPS moves with the map right yeah it should let’s
See is the map moving yeah yeah it’s like over we’re going in the right direction I think we have to get out here there just a little walk to get to the Christmas Market from here we can see it and the backdrop is amazing this is the Christmas Market at ky’s pluts Let’s go see what we can find we looking for something sweet you can hear some techno beats in the background doesn’t sound very Christmasy but it does sound Lively what’ you got Kinder fch of them got one apple punch the I already had little sip of the Kinder punch and it’s great it’s warm spiced apple juice I think it’s delicious and look what we got oh need to make sure that doesn’t fall into the goat’s
Pen we got a little liap CA to go with it to try the uple punch it very strong it’s very similar to the my Kinder punch but coholic also good but I’m glad we only ordered one this is filled to the brim this actually pretty goodco warms
You up quite a bit most Christmas markets here in Vienna have their own mug here at the car plots Market it’s a black mug with a yellow interior and some like gold details on the outside we’ve already seen two Christmas markets in Vienna tomorrow we’ll see a few more this one’s really cool
Something that they all have in common so far is that they have a really really spectacular backdrop this Market has a lot more of a local feel than the market at belvadere where we were earlier both very different but equally nice so I noticed that everywhere you can only pay
By cash but the nice thing is that they have an ATM here and also other Market which is quite convenient so you don’t need to get cash in advance paid 5ye deposit for the mugs but we get it back if we return the mug all such a big Park yeah the cool thing
About this Market is that everything is b or organic attemp two of the alcoholic beverage Anna’s face says it all I just can’t do it I don’t know what I just can’t do it I just don’t like it must be something genetic I don’t know so I noticed something interesting
Everywhere they say cash own which means that you can only pay by cash but then I are you serious
We travel to Vienna in winter to experience it’s festive charm this time of year.
From getting cosy at Christmas markets, to visiting Royal Palaces and eating local foods, we try it all in this jam packed day in Austria’s capital!
