Vienna last day and Vienna Heurigen show

We walked through the Valksgarten, viewed the parliament building- so ornate
The Hofburg residence- winter home of the Habsburgs.
Nearby the famous stables of the Spanish riding school- we could peek through a gated area at the Imperial style quarters of these famous horses...
This would have been a good way to sight see- but we just ran out of time...


The courtyard of the Spanish riding school, horse boxes around the edges- this is  as far as we got.









Near the Imperial palace- was an excavation- right down to Roman times, medieval and 17th century apaartement- all under the present road.


Monuments, fountains, statues on roof tops, wonderful cafes with quick excellent service...

This is the restaurent in our hotel- a boutique hotel showcasing glass art- this is where we have an elaborate buffet breakfast- must go for our last Viennesse treat- back to London today- will do the heurigen show in my next post...
