I've been listening to "Vienna" by Billy Joel and reflecting about my life. The lyrics

"You can get what you want or you can just get old"©

was my motivation to finally visit the city I have dreamed about since watched it for the first time in "Kommissar Rex" TV-series.

Now I want to share lists-inspirations to visit Vienna. Let me know, if they're useful ;)

1. Visit Vienna State Opera

#LIFEHACK: a guided tour for adults costs €9, for pensioners (65 and older) €7, for children, apprenties, students (up to 27) €4. But if you want to see only enteriors, you may buy standing room tickets for €3-4 80 minutes before curtain time. Before that I recommend to eat hearty, syncopes happens.

Standard tickets price variates €12-120+, even though many shows you can watch for free in the street on the large display screen.

2. Wait in line and then try the original Sacher torte.

In my humble opinion, it's overrated (€7,5)🙊

3. Take photographs from the Naturhistorisches Museum's rooftop. It costs +€8 more, but you'll get almost a personnel excursion with hidden gems instead. Last year it was only for me and one Chinese tourist.

4.Visit the Albertina Museum

5. Go astray and then chanse upon a place from the secondary #mustvisit list 😊

1. To buy a vinyl at Teuchtler Recordshop (unfortunately it was closed those days)

2. To proceed my morning ritual: book the Polaroid Photo Tour after a breakfast

3. To buy a head of the best cheese I've ever eaten. Alas I don't know which one I liked more: Jerome or Bergbaron. And very pity I can't find them in Ukraine.

4.To watch a movie in English at Haydn cinema

5. To ride a Ringstraße public tram, which is a cheaper than a tram tour, especially with 24/48/72 hours Vienna ticket

6.To see the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, from the Treasures of European Film Culture list (according to European Film Academy (EFA)

7. To visit Austrian National Library, because it's beautiful and kingly

And just a friendly reminder: don't repeat my mistakes, never come to Vienna on weekends or holidays if you plan to see more.

Have you ever been to Vienna? If you have something to add, please let me know.
All the love, Mira
