Christmas Vienna

So i spend a weekend in great town in Austria - Vienna. I was amaized how much history contains this old city, that has more than 600 years of Habsburg Dynasties monarchy, hundrets of old and amazing builings, castles and statues.
First day we had some problems with snow and low temperatures, but we helped ourselves with cooked wine and punch :D



At first we walked thrue center, where you can see lots of beautiful lights and decoration.


Among all those old building you can find some amazing churches with great interior. Inside they also buried some important members and rules of dinasty. We went also into tombs, but we were not allowed to take any pictures. I found one on internet:
 





Then we came to museum district, where you could spend all you money ;) on stall, where you could find from food, drinks to Christmas decorations.  But prices were a little bit high.

Beautiful mansion, with huge backyard and even bigger pond.




Here we have seen glasshouse with tropical plants and butterflies.
