We had lunch in yet another chinese restaurant in vienna. This one was actually quite good, probably the best chinese meal i've had since we began this trip. After lunch, we began our city tour. First stop is the Schonbrunn which means beautiful fountain. No photos are allowed in the very beautiful interior and unlike many of the previous places we've been to, they were pretty strict about it. The interior, according to the vienna guide, is in the Roccoco style while the outside is in the Baroque style. This was the residence of the powerful Hapsburg Dynasty and the exhibits detailed their illustrous history. In the Palace, you can see photos and portraits of familiar names including the unfortunate Marie Antoinette, the youngest daughter of the powerful and highly intelligent Hapsburg matriarch Maria Thesesia, and the very beautiful Princess Sissi.
