Vienna

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2006 | In this program, we'll nibble chocolate cake at an Old World café, and marvel at the indomitable Gothic cathedral at the heart of town. Then we’ll tiptoe through the Hofburg Palace, be dazzled by the Habsburg crown jewels at the Imperial Treasury, sniff vinegar and Kraut at the Naschmarkt, and waltz to the three-four beat of Johann Strauss in Vienna's City Park. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #vienna

I was in Vienna in June. I went to Germany and Austria with some family for 10 days. I had always wanted to go to Europe since I was young, and it was a dream come true! Vienna was just amazing! We stayed overnight, and saw some incredible sights. One of my favorite sights was a statue of Johann Strauss. I listen to classical music, so this was right up my alley.

I've watched all of Rick's European videos many times over and I never get tired of watching them. : )

Same here. I was in Europe back in June with some family. We went for 10 days. We were in Germany and Austria. It had been a dream of mine to go to Europe since I was young, and it was a dream come true for me. We stayed overnight in Vienna, and it was just an amazing place. We saw some great places. One of my favorite places we saw was Hotel Sacher. This was the birthplace of the Sachertorte. We all had a piece of Sachertorte, and it was absolutely delicious! We saw a statue of Johann Strauss in Stadtpark. This was right up my alley since I listen to classical music. Such an amazing trip

Shallow assessment of the Empress Elizabeth (Sisi). She was the number one reason why Hungary remained loyal to Franz Josef. She was loved by the Hungarians because she interceded on their behalf with her husband.

[@ChrisPeck-niganma]

I started my trip to Europe last September in Vienna and was glad I saw it. My plans quickly unraveled but after visiting 15 cities in 7 different countries I unexpectedly ended up in Prague which had also once been part of the Austro-Hungarian empire.

American Culture. there's an oxymoron

[@hdaviator9181]

Liberals destroyed whatever culture america had long ago. Multiculturalism is america's culture now.

[@spencer871]

Yeah it's Liberals that destroyed your culture. Right. Too bad there was never any culture to begin with unless you go back to native times. It's not like colonists were building anything more than what was useful to them. During America's war of independence and the civil war, there was town-torching and iconoclasm to boot to destroy what little there was (i.e. a statue of George III). I'm from NA and we have no culture like this, we never have. We have 3-400 years of history and most of it was nasty, brutish, and short.

[@AuChoco]

I have adored the Habsburg crown for years but I did not realize its scale until Rick Steves stood behind it

[@razumovskaya8318]

Strauss was born there, Mozart lived there a few years - but in an (admittedly thoroughly enjoyable) documentary about one of my favourite cities and arguably the music capital of Europe if not the world, not a mention of the greatest musician of them all - Beethoven. Visit his humble apartment at the Pasqualatihaus in the Inner City, a short walk from the Burgtheater.

[@shizumaakiyama3129]

Nice to see this almost 20 years after taping. I visit Vienna often and i love it there.

[@wotan20]

A few things I like to add to Mr. Steves' narrative, which was good as a general historical background for tourists, but still... That popular 'Hungarian uprising' he refers to in the middle of the video, was the 1848-49 Independence War, which the Habsburg forces were unable to defeat on their own. Only by overwhelming military intervention coming from the Russian czar, the Hungarians were finally overcome. The issue with Empress Sissi and her bittersweet story is also deserve to be expanded upon: Perhaps because of the stifling atmosphere in the Hofsburg, or because of her own suffering under the oppressive and tyrannical mother-in-law Princess Sophie, she has sympathized with the plight of Hungarians early on, which led her to became an unofficial advocate, who helped the Austrian - Hungarian Compromise to be accomplished in 1867. Later she enjoyed extended periods of time in that part of her realm, learned that difficult language, and became a through and through friend. Her loving memory is still alive there.

[@user-ce2br4wn7f]

Rick doesnt like to talk too much about one subject or another since that would take away from the learning the traveler would get when they visit. He is trying to make you interested. This is a travel show, not a history show.

[@marquefan1]

Yes I noticed in Budapest there are lots of Sissi mementos, whereas the rest of the ancient monarchy is very much in the background.

[@v8powerr771]

I'm from krakow which was in austro-hungarian empire and I can see some similarities there's also a ring road where the walls used to be and big opera building but everything is on a smaller scale. And from what I see cafe Trzesniewski has been established by Mr. Trzesniewski from Krakow.
