Viennese palaces

So far I have mentioned the Hofburg (location of my perfect Sunday morning), but there are also the summer and winter residences, which we visited today.

Anna-Lotta and I live, in her words, “in the periphery of Vienna”. We do live in fairly close proximity to the Vienna woods. On the plus side, this also means that we are within walking distance of Schonbrunn palace, so we’ve visited the Christmas markets there several times already. Today was my first visit to the palace gardens.



We also visited the baroque Belvedere Palace. There is also a Christmas market at this palace, where we enjoyed (as is fast becoming our staple diet) some Bratwurst and hot chocolate.

The world is littered with unfinished visions, and is not life such a vision? And is not the finishing of any thing a little death?
