Vienna's Famous New Year´s Ball

My husband and I decided to do something completely different for New Year's. Something that neither one of us did before. So we went to a Ball! It was held in "The Museum of Fine Arts".

My husband loves this city and has lived there as a child for a year. But this was my first time in Vienna after trying to reach it in the past 7 to 8 years. So, finally my dream came true and I met this wonderful city. It truly left me speachless and that is why it took me a few weeks before I started writting a few words about it. 3 days in Vienna are not nearly enough to see it and absobe it, but we are returning there for sure. In fact, we are already making the list of things to see the next time.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:A lot of architectual candies, historical moments to be felt in present times.
  • Cons:Overcrowded for New Year's !
  • In a nutshell:The city where Eastern and Wester Culturs have found a way to co-exist in the most beautiful way!

    Quite good your critics about Picasso. He had a good start but a very bad late period.

    An interesting page bringing back memories from far 1996... I could examine Staatsoper only outside. I missed "Albertina" gallery as well. But St. Stephan's Cathedral is still in my eyes... Thanks Nina for sharing!
