We took the train from Prague to Vienna, Austria. We got to Vienna at around 5:30 hungry to hit the ground running, but also hungry. We ate a quick dinner and just walked, my husband’s idea of a tour. We often stopped to look up and admire the architecture and statues, that later in our walk, were lit up, emphasizing drama and grandeur.
Vienna is beautiful, but there felt to be a repetition of said beauty. A beautiful cookie cutter was created, and much of it felt recreated. Grand boulevards and imposing architecture-- Gothic, Baroque, Neo Gothic, Neo Baroque, Art Nouveau-- repeated lines and curves. After a while everything begins to be familiar and awe becomes mechanical. It is an attractive city, but felt oddly impersonal to me. I couldn't help but wonder what the city would feel like by day.
