Hello Sam and Audrey! Wien…….wow beautifull! Images, history, cathedrals, sausages, snitzel, I💓guys! !!!!!!
Great video guys! Glad you are enjoying Vienna!
Another great place to visit in Vienna is the Gustav Klimt first kiss painting located in the Belvedere Museum! It’s a beautiful palace and the painting is a bonus.
Also the Karlskirche Church is amazing too!
Have a great time!
Loved the video. Have been to Vienna three times and, most recently, in May where I did the sights from the film Before Sunrise. You pretty much captured the essence of Vienna. I also would recommend a tour of the parliament building. Stunning infrastructure And, if you are into that sort of thing, very interesting
Amazing video! Great shots! Have a like from me!
Makes me want to travel again : )
I also made a video of my around the world travels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc_vKfCTcOc&t=1s
looks like lot of paying for tickets 🙂
Awesome!
Awesome Thanks for sharing this adventure 📸👍👍👍👍📸
This is great! I am getting crazy planning for my Vienna trip! So many things to see!
I loved the video! It reminded the time I have been in Wien, more than 10 years ago. Have you been to a waltz concert? I remember to have gone to a place named Kursalon, where we could listen to great music, dance waltz and drink some good champagne!
Speaking about cutlery Sam, I've noticed in your vlogs that you have, shall we say an unorthodox way of holding your utensils. While not wanting to make you feel bad, people do judge (and here I am pointing squarely at myself). Maybe compare your style to Audrey's, her style is on point.
Vienna!!!*_* one of the most beautiful towns!♡ so good memories:)
Wow a long video today but awesome vlog either way and what a beautiful country thanks for showing all the amazing things.
🙂
Looks like you guys had an awesome time. Did you know about vienna pass? you get entrance to loads of attractions, museums and can take buses around the city. Def worth it and saves a lot of money.
I looove Austria but found Vienna my least fav place to be honest, I did like it but found Salzburg, Innsbruck, Tirol and little villages in Alps soooo much nicer and worth visiting. Austria is so gorgeous in general.
The cats look like Sphinx to me. Nice video!
Good thing Sam got that little nap outta the way…..:-)……and Audrey, accentuating each syllable of audio rendered reading menus out there in the foreign, is a treat…:-)
Lol I was thinking before you said it that looks like the Ferris from the third man with Orson wells 🙂
I'm leary of anything called the "oozing sausage".
Haydn, mozart, beethoven, schubert houses, eszterhaza palace castle, kunsthistorisches , belvedere? Sigmund freud….
Hoped you made time for a concert, recital, choral concert, opera, ballet, waltz? I mean come on it is the capital of classical music
Explain what makes a person Austrian vs swiss vs german?
How does kunsthalle, kunsthistorisches vs belvedere etc compare? Focus, etc
Melk abbey? Hundertwasserhaus, compare barcelona gaudi, mila pedrera battlo, sagrada familia etc
How is your german deutsch? Cesky, magyar, nederlands, suomi, russky, polski, ….
Any other art nouveau modernisma sezession jugendstil etc buildings?
NICE.
WATCH My NEW Videos.
OK. NICE VIDEO.
You captured it!
Love the video. So many beautiful buildings. Pity about not been able to film in the Museums😩 The cats on the menu are called Sphynx's.🐱
oo.. i like.. it was like a recap 🙂
Hello Sam, Audrey and anyone viewing this post – trying to plan my 10 day summer vacation (wife, and 2 kids ages 11 and 6), and while looking for various travel advice, came across the Sam and Audrey travel videos, and enjoyed the overviews of Poland and Hungary.
We are flying from New York, and the 10 days includes travel time.
We mainly like to tour the old towns, historically significant landscapes, and culturally significant architecture.
Want something for the kids as well; not necessarily an amusement park, but something interesting and fun for them.
Destinations considered are one of the following:
1) Poland – Krakow and Warsaw
2) Austria – Vienna and Salzburg
3) Czech Republic – Prague and Cesky Krumlov
4) Hungary – Budapest and Eger
Any recommendations, especially what would be fun for the kids, is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Vienna is a beautiful city, but I find it extremely boring.
So the sausage looked really good to eat until Audrey announced that it was "pus sausage". All righty, none for me please. LOL
September video in November ??:P
Greetingsngs from Vienna ✌️
How many days would you say is just enough to look around vienna if I don't have a week to explore?
Ich bin Wienerin in 3. Generation. Und Ich kann euch Touristen sagen….Je besoffener Ihr seid, desto besser findet Ihr die Wiener Gastronomie!
Aus diesem Grund machen wir die Touristen erst einmal besoffen!….hähähähähä…..
TOPFEN is NO chees! TOPFEN is Milk bevor CHEES!!!!!

Hey Sam & Audrey….. finally you are in Vienna ….. its my favourite city 😍😍
