On one of my many trips to London for work, I tacked on a week to visit some classic European cities that had been on my list for a long time. Vienna was an easy flight from London, and its architecture is stunning. I wasn’t very prepared for this trip – I landed in the city center, and just started wandering around. Fortunately I based myself in a very traveler-friendly (if campy) hotel, Le Meridien, so at least I could use that as my starting point for each day.
In the spring, I found that the weather was very changeable – clouds equally interspersed with rays of sun, which makes for a difficult wardrobe selection. Layers are great for travel anyway, but northern Europe in the spring is the reason that layering was invented!
