Hey there! It has been a while since I wrote my last travel guide. Writing this Vienna travel guide right now in my new London flat. I'm so pleased to say that I've finally settled into my new space, clear space, clear mind, and am ready to sit down and share my recommendations with you all.

This was a short and sweet weekend trip. I only stayed for 3 days, 2 nights. If you are into contemporary art galleries and provocative museums, definitely make this a 5-day trip.

TO STAY

I booked this spacious Airbnb apartment in Central Vienna, and had the most comfortable stay!

Classic Ensemble Vienna in St. Peter's Church

When in Vienna, the city of music. Of course, we need to immerse ourselves in a classical concert in the historical church. The whole experience was unforgettable and special, I am still in awe. The music echoes in the church is magical.
