We drove this morning from Munich to Vienna. The entire trip was just over 4 hours. Buying the toll sticker was easy. We went to the first gas station on the highway and bought it right at the counter. For those readers planning to drive through Austria, it is called a vignette and the minimum is a 10 day pass for 8 euros.
Overall, the Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski was fine. The location is great for seeing the sites and the wifi is really good; I downloaded Season 2 of "Scandal" to both of our tablets.
We are staying at the Hotel Sacher is Vienna. This is the hotel famous for inventing the Sachertorte.
After checking in, we ate a quick snack and then headed over to the Belvedere Palace, home to one of the largest collections of Gustav Klimt paintings. The Klimts are one of the things I most wanted to see in Vienna.
Gustav Klimt and the Belvedere have been in the news due to the recent movie "Woman in Gold." I do plan to see that painting when I return to NYC.
The grotesque character heads of Messerschmidt are also a favorite at the Belvedere.
Tomorrow, we plan to follow the Rick Steves' Vienna city tour. The Cafe Sacher is item #2 in that tour. We can skip the line since we are staying at the hotel.
