00:03
We're in VIENNA!
00:30
We travel, to find more of ourselves..
00:33
Let's see what we can uncover in the most livable place on Earth!
00:37
But first, the basics!
00:40
And by basic, I mean a Sachertorte
00:43
an apple strudel
00:44
and a Viennese coffee.
00:50
Speaking of coffee
00:51
The Austrians claim that the Italians stole the Cappuccino from them
00:54
here, they call it a Melange.
00:59
the Sachertorte is the most popular Viennese desert
01:02
and you'll find it everywhere.
01:04
As for these two
01:05
We just got them because we needed some color in the shot.
01:14
Nonetheless we enjoyed our quick stop
01:16
time to go.
01:31
St. Stephen's marks the city center
01:36
This is basically their symbol of freedom
01:38
during the war, the entire thing got bombed
01:41
especially the rooftop was completely gone as it went up in flames
01:45
Because people love it so much,
01:46
donations started flooding in
01:48
Austrians aren't afraid to show their love for the city with their wallets
01:52
The place got rebuilt immediately!
02:02
The interior has a similar feel to other European cathedrals
02:11
the view from the top is pretty decent
02:13
but to be honest, the climb isn't worth it.
02:16
This is not an easy climb guys,
02:18
stop hitting the wieners
02:20
down there, the beer..
02:54
Greatness comes from withstanding the tests of time
02:57
and the Empire, well..
02:58
they built for greatness.
03:07
Austrians take great pride in their palaces
03:09
the most important one is the Schonbrunn
03:12
this place is big!
03:13
it has its own garden, its own zoo, a maze and a labyrinth
03:17
and over 1000 rooms
03:21
This is where Austria's most beloved couple, Franz and Sisi lived
03:26
When they were not fooling around in the gardens,
03:28
they were here.
03:30
This is the Hofburg palace
03:32
home to one of the most powerful families to ever rule in Europe
03:36
the imperial family spent their winters here and the summers at Schonbrunn
03:40
part of the Hofburg
03:41
is also the majestic Spanish Riding School
03:58
Before we move on to another objective
04:00
let's take a snack break!
04:05
Apparently, this Trzesniewski place is the Viennese version of fast-food
04:18
The open sandwiches have a cult-like following
04:20
and they are usually joined by a tiny beer called a Pfiff
04:40
Anywhere you look in Vienna
04:41
the buildings tell their own stories.
04:55
Architecture, is a lot like music
05:00
and this place combines them both.
05:11
We're inside the Vienna State Opera
05:13
and the interior is breathtaking.
05:15
When the building was finished, people hated it so much that eventually both architects killed themselves.
05:20
Today, it's one of the most iconic buildings in the world.
05:57
Ever since we arrived in Vienna
06:00
We've been waiting to dive in their cuisine
06:02
and that time is now!
06:03
Although we got a lot of love for Jamie Oliver
06:05
you don't eat italian when you're in Vienna
06:08
you want to try traditional Austrian dishes
06:11
that's why we're going to this place.
06:14
Plachutta is an institution.
06:16
A synonym for Viennese cuisine.
06:19
they still serve the Emperor's favorite dish:
06:21
the world famous Tafelspitz
06:23
it's one of the best cuts of beef served in a clear soup
06:27
we also got the salted ox tongue and the Viennese schnitzel
06:32
There's a proper way to serve the Tafelspitz
06:35
First, you enjoy the beef broth in your bowl
06:38
Then you spread the marrow onto a slice of toast
06:41
to be enjoyed with just salt and pepper
06:43
then you move on to the second course and start putting together your plate
06:48
take the beef and the tongue
06:50
add the vegetables, add the sauce and enjoy.
06:52
pair it with a local read wine and you're in for a treat.
07:10
The wine at Plachutta made us thirsty for more
07:13
and we know just the right place.
07:19
How about a tour of the second largest wine collection in Europe?!
07:25
It's underneath this place:
07:27
Coburg Palace
07:37
Deep in the caverns of Palais Coburg's cellar
07:40
rests a collection of about 60,000 bottles
07:43
valued at over 21 million dollars
07:47
This is as close to heaven as wine lovers can get
07:52
Guides and Wine Tastings,
07:54
led by professional sommeliers, guide you through the 6 cellars
07:58
each with its own theme:
07:59
France
08:00
New World
08:01
Old world
08:02
YQUEM
08:03
Champagne
08:04
and Rare Wines
08:08
the collection has been lauded as one of the best in the world
08:13
you don't have to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy this
08:17
it's a sensory experience which will elevate your trip to Vienna
08:43
the most expensive bottle they sold was a 6-Liter Latour Imperial
08:48
for over 200,000 dollars
08:51
The restoration of the Palace was completed in 2003
08:55
and now, apart from this amazing wine collection,
08:58
it boasts 34 Luxury Suites
09:00
and a two Michelin Star Restaurant
09:02
making it a "Must" for any sophisticated traveler.
09:21
As for this bottle of vintage Dom
09:23
they've been offered 20,000 EUR and refused to sell.
09:27
All in all, it felt more like an Art Gallery than anything else.
09:31
time to call it a day.
10:28
You guys always ask us where to stay when traveling
10:31
this time, we chose The Guest House
10:36
It feels like home, it has all the right vibes
10:38
and you kinda feel like a rock-star when in it
10:41
plus, it's in the heart of Vienna
10:55
You know how most hotels feel the same?
10:57
well.. this one's different.
10:58
it feels sexy and informal.
11:01
It's more like your millionaire friend left you the keys to his Vienna apartment
11:05
We love it.
11:14
There's so much more to see in this city!
11:21
You can ride the famous Ferris Wheel at Prater Park
11:25
or.. spend the day admiring the largest Klimt collection at Belvedere Palace
11:31
If you're visiting during the holidays like we did
11:34
you can't miss the Christmas markets
11:36
we recommend the one at the top of The Ritz hotel
11:40
If you don't feel like it
11:41
you could always spend the day shopping in the Goldenes Quartier
11:50
Vienna, is one of those amazing cities
11:52
where you will enjoy getting lost
11:56
and every time you come back
11:57
you'll uncover something different which you somehow missed before
