![]() ![]() The Naschmarkt had so many interesting offerings. The market seemed to stretch on forever! We’d walk for a little bit, think we’d reached the end, but it would just keep going! Because we went on Saturday, it was particularly busy at some points I was getting a little claustrophobic because there were so many people. (The Hofburg is in the middle of the city and was the emperor’s normal residence Schönbrunn was mainly used as a summer home.)Īfter Schönbrunn, we made our way to the Naschmarkt, the largest and most famous street market in Vienna. There are many palaces in Vienna, and rather than touring all of them, we decided that later on Saturday we’d go and tour the Hofburg. We spent an hour or two wandering the never-ending gardens, but decided not to take a tour of the inside. We woke up in the morning and had our usual hostel breakfast, and then made our way to Schönbrunn, which is conveniently right on the subway line that runs between the hostel we stayed in and downtown. On Saturday we packed as much into one day as humanly possible (you think I’m joking). Since Zach and I both went on the trip, we decided that he would blog about the first half, and I’d write a little about the second half! Before you read the rest of this post, you might be interested in reading Zach’s latest post first! Because we all simply want to see as much of Europe as we can, it wasn’t important to us that we choose exactly where we ended up! We paid only 60 Euros for a two-way ticket, but we could have ended up in London, Lisbon, Rome, Barcelona, Berlin, or Vienna. It’s been another one of those crazy weeks here in Tübingen with a spontaneous trip to Vienna and the first week of classes! So I’ll try my best to catch you all up during the next few days!īecause we had a little bit of free time between the end of my “Deutsch-Kompakt-Kurs” and the start of the semester, Zach, Hannah, Rachel, Emily, Helena (our Canadian friend) and I decided to do something called “Blind Booking” through the German discount airline Germanwings. So you are all probably saying to yourselves right now, “Long time no post! What in the world have you been up to, Jake? We’re all waiting on the edge of our seats to read the next saga in your crazy European adventures!”
