#2 Vienna: Places to eat in Vienna

Hi Love, 

I love exploring new places in Vienna and when there I make sure to always try to try something new. But a place I keep coming back to is Veganista, a vegan ice-cream chain that offers the best ice-creams in town. If you ever find yourself in one of the many stores they have, try the poppy seeds! So special and interesting while very delicious. 

I myself cannot wait to come back there and get another three scoops of wonderfulness. Their chocolate ice-cream is divine too! So rich and smooth. Gosh, I could go one for ever.

Taborstraße 15, 1020 Wien, Austria

Swing Kitchen is the typical American Burger place, but vegan. The place has a lovely atmosphere and you always see a lot of people in there. Their fries are a must and when you're there, please don't cheat yourself, order a menu and get a soda. Worth it. 

Schottenfeldgasse 3, 1070 Wien, Austria

Formosa Food is a place my Austrian friend and I found by chance. We were on our way to the Phil café and somehow, this little restaurant stops us on our way and we had to go in there to explore. The place is hidden, on the side to Mariahilferstrasse. The people in there are so nice and cute - please do try to give them a visit.  

Barnabitengasse 6, 1060 Wien, Austria

Simple Raw Bakery and Bistro has a very special place in my heart. On my first trip to Vienna on my interrail-trip, I went here every single day to eat a proper breakfast. The place was perfect for gluten & lactose intolerant people like my friend and me. 

I absolutely love their Acai bowl, the musli is amazing and their coffee is lovely. 

If you're only on for a small treat please do come here. They're a bakery, their cakes are beautiful, sweet and made with a lot of love.

Talk to you soon love.

Ericeira

Hi Love, 

Last month I went to Ericeira in Portugal as a mini-vacay before I had to meet up with a friend from my volunteering time in Vietnam. 

There's not much to do in Ericeira other than surfing - or, that's what people would like to think. Other then the awesome surfing community and atmosphere there's the city centre, the beaches and well the night life isn't bad either. 

What I loved about Ericeira was the blue colours around town. It reminded me a lot of Greece, Santorini and the other small island with the white and blue themes.
( which I of cause forgot to take any pictures of)

If you do go to Ericeira, go for a walk along the beaches to the city centre. In the morning go for a few hours of surfing while the waves are still good. For dinner time, go for some of the amazing seafood there if you're into that. Portugal is definitely known for their sea-food and well, why not when in Portugal.

It's worth a visit. You won't regret it. 

#3 Vienna: Museums to see

Hi Love, 

Again, I will try to gush my love for Vienna at the bare minimum but the city is really absolutely beautiful and romantic. 

Vienna is known for its history and art. Hello, Mozart! So if you can, go to the 'Theater an der Wien' and hear a opera if you're into that. While I was there the last time in February I heard Peer Gynt and the entire show was amazing!

There's also a lot of museums you can explore and see while in Vienna. I mean, they have a Museum Quartier! What is there not to love. After four times there I have yet gone through every Museum yet.   If you're planning to go and see a lot of the attraction while there I would recommend you to buy a Vienna Card, so the attractions can become cheaper if you're not a student the entry tickets can quickly run up.

Leopold Museum: Is one of my favourite. probably because it was here I was first introduced to Egon Schiele and his art work. The colours are done in such a genius way that you cannot stop looking at them. The museum house one of the largest collections of modern Austrian art, featuring artists such as Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt, Oskar Kokoschka and Richard Gerstl.

Albertina: This place is beautiful and very accessible place in the inner Stadt of Vienna. Beware a lot of tourists and artsy Viennese people is to be seen there. Not long ago they had the most stunning collection of Monet housed in the museum that I have ever seen.  

Belvedere Palace: is the perfect picnic place and are really recommended. Their gardens are beautiful and lovely and the atmosphere couldn't be better. Do not cheat yourself from seeing it, that would be a mistake! Last I was there they still had the exhibition from Ai Weiwei from the 21-haus outside around the springs. It's close to 21-haus where they usually do a lot of post-modern art exhibition. 

Schönbrunn Palace: It's called mini Versailles. Do I need to say more? Go there for the gardens, go there for the mini hike to the view point over the city. Just do it. Inside there's featured many art pieces from Austria's Great Rise. 

#1 Vienna

'MUseum MOderner Kunst' at the Museumsquartier in Vienna, Austria.

Hi love, 

A city I keep coming back to is Vienna. Vienna has everything I thought Paris would be. The city is so charming especially during the summer where you can picnic or even nap in the many parks around town, even at the Museum's Quarter in District 7 - which is one of my personal favourite districts. I'm so lucky to have a lovely Austrian friend who introduced me to all the great places. I'm going there soon again and I cannot wait.
