If you notice I didn't go to some "must-see" places like Schönbrunn, the Prater, or the top of St Stephens, it's because this wasn't my first trip to Vienna :') I went with my family about 10 years ago but was sick with a cold/fever so my memories are a little wobbly. I came back for this solo trip to finally see and remember the city that I've loved from afar from so long and it didn't disappoint! Love you always Vienna!
Hello I'm Korean. To study English, I looked up videos of foreigners traveling to Vienna and enjoyed the video by chance. I am going to Vienna on June 4th. It helped me a lot. Thank you!
i've lived in Vienna for about 5 years now and watching this vlog is such a surreal experience omg i've been watching you for so long and seeing you walk around all the places i know so well is??? im actually related to one of the men in the band at 4:21-4:31. the world suddenly seems very very small indeed haha can't wait to watch the rest of this
I was born here and have lived in Vienna for 56 years. 2 times I left town, but I'm back again, it won't let me go. We love to welcome people who visit us and are so lovely! I live here next to the Belvedere Garden and enjoy the Ringstrasse every day when I commute to work. Thanks for the adorable video!
First I would like to say, I really like the concept of your channel and you should keep going! 5:14 Actually of the dozens of historic coffee houses only two are known amongt tourist and may have lines at times. I do agree that most of them get crowded during prime time. Which is for you? There is no such thing as "the" coffee house in Vienna - they all have unique style/personality and specialize in specific clientel. I would say, choose whichever sounds best for you from the list^^ You can reserve tables at coffee houses same way you can at any restaurant. 6:00 Good choice! This one has a very unique flair, I agree. The USP...well the waiters are known to be very quick-whitted and to rebuttle in a typical local sarcastic way. Simply said - they dont take sh!t. 6:45 Demel is a pastry shop and bakery, the coffee house has no tradition and was added very recently for tourists. The pastries are amazing, the coffee house is overcrowded and not recommendable. Central was targeted by several large tourist agencies for years as its one of the largest ones and therefore could accomodate large groups of tourists (the judgement was based on space management, not quality or history). In the meanwhile this whole thing has completly excalated and people flock there in masses (for some reason). 10:38 Thats a bad google translation^^ Alright, history lesson. Vienna was liberated by the Soviets. It took them 3 days and aprox. 25 000 soldiers of the Red Army died during the battle of Vienna (so about the same as the US lost on Iwo Jima). To remember them the Sovjets built that monument, basicly a Tomb to the Unknown Soldier. 12:08 Legit place, I do recommend that one. 12:38 pssst, pistacchio (double "c" and its pronounced like with a hard "k") 18:15 Sure, but it also depends on the line you r riding. They were built at different depths. 19:55 Good idea, you r at Michaelerplatz - you have the former Cafe Griensteidl there, now Cafe Klimt. Its right there on the square and its the historical coffee house of authors and poets...oh, nevermind.... PS: If you are into nature I recommend Lobau, Lainzer Tiergarten and Kahlenberg aswell as Prater (during the day). You can reach any of them easily with public transportation.
Fell in love with Vienna in fall and still can't get over it. It was my first trip completely alone. I wasn't so sure about how I would feel, but on the very first night I met this amazing people that I ended up having dinner with, and immediately got the best vibes from the city. One of those people recommended me the Café Hawelka, and when you said you were going to Vienna, I knew I had to tell you about it, so I'm so happy that you actually liked it. Like you said, Vienna just gives you those comfy vibes, the people were really nice and helping. Actually ended up having so many conversations with random people that wouldn't have happened if I went with someone, so I felt like maybe travelling alone was what I needed in my life. Just loved your vlog and hope you can continue spoiling us with them. Lots of love💛
This opening, the atmospheric music and the great eye / good shots of beautiful views or details make this video really feel like a 2023 spin off of before sunrise somehow, just except the love story of course 😅
It's so surreal to see my home city being experienced by someone else in this format, but I loved it so much! It kind of made me realize that I need to start romanticizing the city I live in more, instead of traveling through it with my tunnel vision on the way to uni or whatever. I'm so happy that you enjoyed your time here and thank you for the chance to meet you in person on that Wednesday. I had so much fun and met so many nice people there. When I woke up that day, I was hit with a lot of social anxiety and almost didn't go, but I'm so thankful that I did. You're such a ray of light and joy in both your videos and in person and talking to you wasn't scary at all. So thank you for this video and the meet-up and the photo we took together (I'm the girl with the blue hair and the ridiculously colorful spring outfit).
And ahhhhhhh thank you for coming - I actually always get so nervous beforehand too but everyone was seriously the sweetest and we’ve got to do a vienna get together part two!!!
I don't know why but it made me a little senitmental so see my hometown portrayed so beautifully?! Glad you enjoyed your visit and your airbnb was so gorgeous!
This makes me homesick in a sense that it makes me think of spending time with my Oma in Germany at the markets. I cant wait to get a chance to be back in Europe at the End of Spring. Thank you for taking us along on your trip.
This vlog was so beautiful, it honestly felt like a Wes Anderson film with all the minute details captured. It's certainly put Vienna on my must-visit cities list! Thank you Cari ❤
If you are really going to return to Prague in the summer, I recommend that you make a visit to Vienna again, but this time instead of Český Krumlov, you stop at Lednice Castle, or you can visit The State Chateau of Hluboká. There you can feel like a princess from a fairy tale. And then you can come back again in winter and visit the Christmas markets in Prague and Vienna.
its so beautiful to see your home town through someone elses eyes 🤍 I left Vienna a year ago and this gives me beautiful nostalgia and all the warmies in my heartspace, so thank you so much for that 🥰
That's interesting that you said it felt homey as out of all the cities I've visited in Europe and further afield, which is a fair few, Vienna is the one which gave me the feeling of wanting to move and live there. There's just something so exciting but also comfortable about it ❤
Weird, cause I think I felt similarly about it. I just visited Munich, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. While Budapest may have been my favorite, if I had to live in one of those cities it would probably be Vienna, followed by Munich.
You have done one of my dream trips. In 2020 my husband and I were planning a Prague/Vienna trip, but then... postponed to this summer and although we will be visiting Prague, we won't be making it to Vienna...another time, perhaps. Thanks for posting.
meeting you in person was so lovely!! It is so crazy how you vlog in my hometown and still i'm like "omg this place look beautiful i wanna see that, i wanna do that" thank you xx
Looked so awesome! Recently got back home to Australia from Europe and watching your videos makes me miss it so much. I'm so glad you had a lovely time.
I liked Vienna when I visited two years ago, it's pretty clean and easy to walk around. One embarrassing moment I had was in the Hard Rock Cafe, they somehow discovered it was my birthday so the staff and all the other customers sang happy birthday to me. I was alone at the time, to say I was red faced was an under statement 🤣.
Loved your hairstyle with the braid on one side 😺. Thank you for sharing your adventures. It's so fun to watch and feel a part of it. God bless you, girl ✝✨💖!
WoW that's their LIBRARY?! And Gustav Klimt! I like his work a lot, you certainly went at a great time! The whole city has such a classical art theme and architecture to it that I'm pleasantly surprised by. This is the first sort of travel vlog I've seen of Austria and I think you portrayed the place in a great light nice 👍
That's the ceremonial room of the national library. The part of the library that you can actually use as a library looks just like any other library... inside at least. But it's in the New Wing of the Hofburg, which was the principal imperial palace during the Habsburg monarchy. So from the outside it looks very grand.
Oh gosh I'm really lucky to spot your video. Every scenes in this one was filmed very carefully that exposed all the beauty of Vienna. I feel truely grateful for you making such a stunning video like this❤. You have traveled on your own but you really show me how you fully enjoyed the moment when you were there. Honestly,after watching this beautiful video, I really want to treat myself a solo trip like yours 😂. Thanks so much 😘
Anyone here like me finds comfort on cari's vlogs? Both her main and booktube's content are the ones I wait for here, i find her videos more unique in terms of cozy compare to the other content creators! keep it up cari ♡♡ im one of your biggest viewer!
What a beautiful Airbnb! My friend and I went into Cafe Central for lunch and dessert about 5 years ago and it was busy but we were able to get a seat on a whim. The vegetarian mushroom goulash was so good! I still think about it to this day. Their desserts were also amazing. We shared this violet rum cake😋 The desserts were just beautiful to look at. You have to go back one day! We stayed across from the Votiv Church and it was so beautiful🥰We would get grapefruit gelato every night and sit by the church. If you love Klimt's work, you need to go to The Secession Building next time. Beautiful space! The National Library was definitely one of my favourites🥰. Glad you had beautiful weather to enjoy the beautiful city! Thank you for sharing💖
Oh my God, I can't even believe it! Cari, thank you so freaking much for bringing my home back to me! I'm originally from Vienna but moved to Australia just over a year ago. Your video of your trip and sharing it with us seriously hit me right in the feels. I used to work at Vollpension, practically lived in all the cafes you visited, and lived near Belvedere before I moved off overseas. I've been hooked on your videos since 2019, and I love how you stumbled upon this super cute corner of the world (again). But hey, your video got me thinking: how do you deal with those days when you're homesick and missing the place you grew up in?
as someone who has just recently started architecture as a career and does art on the side, I always get excited and inspired by your vlogs, especially the travel/hiking/day trip ones!
I had a trip booked to Vienna at Christmas and the day before I traveled I found out my mum had terminal brain tumour, I still travelled and the city wrapped me up in its beauty and gave me comfort, i will always have a place in my heart for Vienna xx
I‘m very sorry to hear what you have been going through. I hope you are keeping up. I had a similar history with my mum and can feel the ache. But memories and places like these will always comfort us and make even the worst things in life bearable. I hope you are alright and wish you and your family best!
I am going to vienna this week and remembered your video. So now I'm gonna use your video as a tour guide. Thank you so much, I am so excited to go to vienna after watching this video!❤
Hi Cari, I just discovered your Channel and I absolutely love your Videos. As an Austrian it was so nice seeing you capturing the city. I was even more excited when I found out that you´re from SD. I lived for 6 months in San Marcos and I had the best time ever.
god I love your videos, just watched this masterpiece the moment I woke up and it set me in such a great mood. Thank you for this Cari! Safe travel home.
Sooo many memories came by watching your video. In February I was just at the airport to catch my transfer. Some years ago Vienna was the first city where I went together with my parents. As I am not living with them anymore every year I tried to plan a travel with them. Unfortunately we cannot go anymore due to my father's illness. But these were and will be unforgettable. ❤ Vienna has similar vibe as Budapest with the buildings maybe for that reason I felt so good there. As I would walk in Budapest. Plan to go back and watch places I couldn't yet. 😊
i traveled to vienna in february and fell in love with the city! you actually visited many of the same cafes that i went to as well which i thought was cute. thank you for showing the beautiful vienna, i'm counting down the days until i can go back.
Love your travel vlogs Cari. The vibe is always so relaxing.☀️ The small café you went to, „Café Hawelka“, is actually one of the most known old cafés in Vienna 😊
Great video and you really saw a lot ! Great find with that Airbnb. Next time you come you’ll need to get to the edges of the city for the wineries, vineyards and hiking. Especially late summer or early fall.
Love this Video !!! We were in Vienna five times, and we love it soo much!! Wonderful City, beautiful Vibes, great... We travel to Vienna again in August, I'm so exited!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I just love watching your vlogs, especially the european ones, they are just so therapeutic for me :) I am going to London in three weeks and it is my dream to go there and I am so excited to do my first solo travel but I am also a bit nervous but your videos just motivate me to get out of my comfort zone and do more things for myself 🥰
Love your video and your story of your time in Vienna. I just got back from a solo trip there a few weeks ago. I also got blessed with nice weather. You're so right, the cafes are so enchanting and relaxing. That was one of my favorite places to go. Curious, what district was your AirBNB in? This last trip I stayed with hotel points in the Innere Stadt, but if /and when I go back I think I'd prefer to try a more "local" experience and stay at an AirBNB in one of the outer districts. (besides, I forgot to go see the library, so now, of course, I have to go back ;) ) Cheers!
was literally 1 minute into the video and i ran into my roommate's room like "we have to book this airbnb" so we're going in may!!! no regrets after watching the rest of the video
Just stopped the vid to comment eight away: Good job going to Café Hawelka instead of Central your first day. 😁 I don't know if you knew at the time, but Hawelka has been famous for decades here in Austria, there are even songs about this place. 😂 Central is great for the fancy feeling but honestly very touristy. Hawelka is definitely the place most Austrians would prefer! 😉❤
I recently went to Austria for a work trip and managed to spend two days in Vienna. Such a beautiful place! I also was recommended Vollpension. I was surprised to see some of my favourite childhood cakes there
Such a cosy vlog! I am happy you liked Vienna! And the places you have chosen to visit are really loved by the Viennese themselves. and you have even stayed somewhere near my place! 😊
Omg it’s so funny to see you visiting a city I have actually visited before!! You totally did Vienna justice🫶🏻 I could imagine you loving Munich as well!!
Wow. Beautiful city, and great content. That part where you sneezed though... and the cute dogs! Hope you're enjoying cherry blossoms in Seoul and the mild weather.
Really nice vlog. I'm sure I could smell the cherry blossoms coming from my computer.I hope you got that fabulous dress and coat really looked awesome and that wee dog in the window was amazing. The cake near the end made me want to have a piece but it's late here. Thank you for this vlog.
Every time I need to make a presentation for history assignment about a historic city, I immediately go to your channel and start screenshoting literally every two seconds of the video about that city Your filming skills are amazing and you are so talented in finding beauty around you Thank you for great content!
Why does the living room look exactly like the room at the beginning of Inceptionnnn?? Stunning interior design, and an even more beautiful vlog! Thanks Cari for taking us with you on the trip!
I am very happy you enjoyed your stay in Vienna, as a Czech guy I could only reommend you to do so in Central Europe. Should you ever come visit again (I hope you will), would be happy to meet up. Have a good time and thank you for your videos! ^^
So beautiful 😮 I'm looking forward to it! My Home Vlog 🥰 Thanks again for the meeting, it was so wonderful and there were so many lovely people😊. I was such a nervous bundle and forgot everything I wanted to ask 🥲
as a huge fan of before sunrise, this vlog is a dream! always love how you capture tiny life moments, cari!! hope the audio of the entire video was a bit more even, i couldn't make out some parts where you were speaking bc of low audio then the next clip blasts bgm 😭
Oh my god, you came to the city I live in!! Kinda sad I missed the meetup but I am glad you liked it here ❤ If you prefer to see Vienna with really good weather the best time to visit is May or June because the weather can be really unpredictable and cold until the end of April. Also, once it's warm the whole city becomes very lively (like the danuble canal that you filmed would be full of people sitting, drinking and chatting) and people's moods are just generally better then, too. 😁 Oh and I definitely agree with you on the small and cozy cafe. Most viennese people don't go to the famous cafes but rather prefer their own Stammlokal (=local hangout). I really like Cafe Votiv which is close to the University of Vienna and Votivchurch (at U2 Schottentor which is quite central). This cafe is comparably cheap (since students go there), has great breakfast and lunch to offer and when the weather is good you can also sit outside. ☺ And if you wanna taste the best vegan burgers on the planet (imo), I recommend Swing Kitchen which is a high quality austrian vegan burger chain. Always miss those burgers when I am abroad.
I love how you appreciate just a litte things around you that most of us maybe just walk by. In August ill take my family to Vienna for their very First time I can't wait Thank you for making a beautiful video ,sending Love from Thailand Joob Joob
This made me so emotional, because Vienna was my home for three years and I still wish I lived there... I hope you loved it at least 1/2 how I love that city❤❤❤
15:43 interesting to see a John Waters poster! He is from Baltimore MD which is my neck of the woods. Awesome to see a piece of maryland all the way in Austria
@@FreeElf25 thanks for asking! By no means have I been everywhere in Europe, but I absolutely loved Paris for the same reasons why everyone love Paris, and also the ultra clean and organized feeling of Zurich. But I've yet to have visited Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc, so maybe my opinions would change. But the cities I liked least was London and Brussels.
I really love the vibe and atmosphere of your video after i watched several videos about visiting vienna now. After you've been to vienna before you were free to explore vienna in a way that everyone should: dont stick to the top recommendend attractions unless you really need to see it, like maybe klimt exhibitions or the beautiful castles and parks. And especially the 2nd district, where your appartment was, has a really nice flair and lots of small places to enjoy breakfast or lunch. And also around naschmarkt, just stroll around and try some interesting looking cafes, eat humus and falafel all day, have some coffee or lokum, this is really more the way to enjoy vienna instead of waiting in lines in front of cafe central or sacher 😊
I would love you to visit Germany and the Netherlands the next time you come to Europe:) glad you liked it. I lived in Seoul for a year and now im exploring Japan because I loved Seoul so much i want to Explore more of Asia!
I love that you enjoyed this trip. You took a hell of a lot of really cool and beautiful shots of the city. You make Vienna look all shiny and new again ❤. But they have got to work on the presentation of the food.... no match for Seoul in that regard 🙈
Looks like you had a grand time. I'm thrilled for you...even if you had a talking-to from the cafe manager/owner about too many people in your party. That Airbnb's seating area made me think Freud or Jung was going to make an appearance (and yes, portrayed by Viggo Mortensens and Michael Fassbender respectively).
It's my dream to travel to Vienna someday. Thank you so much for this gorgeous excursion! I just came across your video, and it's magical, really, I am sooooo into this vibe. And all the songs in the video are identical to my fav. have a niceee day
i smiled so big when you started the vid with that before sunrise dialogue! ever since i watched that movie, i've been wanting to go to vienna and now after watching your video, i just HAVE to do it. its soo pretty

same ^^

Awwww
Thank you for this video, I cannot tell you, what this means to me. You bring back memories that I couldn’t live without.
Since you’re now done with Paris and Vienna, you need to go to Greece next and you’ll have your very own ‘before’ triology 😊

Anyone here like me finds comfort on cari's vlogs? Both her main and booktube's content are the ones I wait for here, i find her videos more unique in terms of cozy compare to the other content creators! keep it up cari ♡♡ im one of your biggest viewer!
What a beautiful Airbnb! My friend and I went into Cafe Central for lunch and dessert about 5 years ago and it was busy but we were able to get a seat on a whim. The vegetarian mushroom goulash was so good! I still think about it to this day. Their desserts were also amazing. We shared this violet rum cake😋 The desserts were just beautiful to look at. You have to go back one day! We stayed across from the Votiv Church and it was so beautiful🥰We would get grapefruit gelato every night and sit by the church. If you love Klimt's work, you need to go to The Secession Building next time. Beautiful space! The National Library was definitely one of my favourites🥰. Glad you had beautiful weather to enjoy the beautiful city! Thank you for sharing💖
Hi. Just wanted to say how much joy your videos bring. I really love channel. Thank you for all you do
thank you so much :'''')
Oh my God, I can't even believe it! Cari, thank you so freaking much for bringing my home back to me! I'm originally from Vienna but moved to Australia just over a year ago. Your video of your trip and sharing it with us seriously hit me right in the feels. I used to work at Vollpension, practically lived in all the cafes you visited, and lived near Belvedere before I moved off overseas. I've been hooked on your videos since 2019, and I love how you stumbled upon this super cute corner of the world (again). But hey, your video got me thinking: how do you deal with those days when you're homesick and missing the place you grew up in?
as someone who has just recently started architecture as a career and does art on the side, I always get excited and inspired by your vlogs, especially the travel/hiking/day trip ones!
I had a trip booked to Vienna at Christmas and the day before I traveled I found out my mum had terminal brain tumour, I still travelled and the city wrapped me up in its beauty and gave me comfort, i will always have a place in my heart for Vienna xx
🥺🙏
I‘m very sorry to hear what you have been going through. I hope you are keeping up. I had a similar history with my mum and can feel the ache. But memories and places like these will always comfort us and make even the worst things in life bearable. I hope you are alright and wish you and your family best!
@@kid_a__ it's so kind of you to take time to reply xx it's good times and memories that keep us going. Sending you healing hugs xx
I am going to vienna this week and remembered your video. So now I'm gonna use your video as a tour guide. Thank you so much, I am so excited to go to vienna after watching this video!❤
I grew up in this city and videos like that just make me so increadibly happy
Hi Cari, I just discovered your Channel and I absolutely love your Videos. As an Austrian it was so nice seeing you capturing the city. I was even more excited when I found out that you´re from SD. I lived for 6 months in San Marcos and I had the best time ever.
god I love your videos, just watched this masterpiece the moment I woke up and it set me in such a great mood. Thank you for this Cari! Safe travel home.
🥹🥹🥹 thank you so much!
Sooo many memories came by watching your video. In February I was just at the airport to catch my transfer. Some years ago Vienna was the first city where I went together with my parents. As I am not living with them anymore every year I tried to plan a travel with them. Unfortunately we cannot go anymore due to my father's illness. But these were and will be unforgettable. ❤
Vienna has similar vibe as Budapest with the buildings maybe for that reason I felt so good there. As I would walk in Budapest. Plan to go back and watch places I couldn't yet. 😊
I looooved your Prague one! the transitions and the architecture 🫠🫠🫠 looking forward to this one 😌💖✨
thank you :') hope you like this one too!!
i traveled to vienna in february and fell in love with the city! you actually visited many of the same cafes that i went to as well which i thought was cute. thank you for showing the beautiful vienna, i'm counting down the days until i can go back.
Its an easy place to fall in love with 🥲🥲🥲
Before Sunrise 🥲❤
Visiting the old cafes in Vienna has been on my bucket list for ages! And those desserts and markets!!!🤩
Love a culture that revolves around dessert hahahha
Love your travel vlogs Cari. The vibe is always so relaxing.☀️ The small café you went to, „Café Hawelka“, is actually one of the most known old cafés in Vienna 😊
🥹🙏
Great video and you really saw a lot ! Great find with that Airbnb. Next time you come you’ll need to get to the edges of the city for the wineries, vineyards and hiking. Especially late summer or early fall.
Love this Video !!! We were in Vienna five times, and we love it soo much!! Wonderful City, beautiful Vibes, great... We travel to Vienna again in August, I'm so exited!!!! ❤❤❤❤
I just love watching your vlogs, especially the european ones, they are just so therapeutic for me :) I am going to London in three weeks and it is my dream to go there and I am so excited to do my first solo travel but I am also a bit nervous but your videos just motivate me to get out of my comfort zone and do more things for myself 🥰
Oh my, I’m going to Austria after 5 days and saw your vlog! I’m looking forward even more after seeing your vlog! 🥰
Love your video and your story of your time in Vienna. I just got back from a solo trip there a few weeks ago. I also got blessed with nice weather. You're so right, the cafes are so enchanting and relaxing. That was one of my favorite places to go. Curious, what district was your AirBNB in? This last trip I stayed with hotel points in the Innere Stadt, but if /and when I go back I think I'd prefer to try a more "local" experience and stay at an AirBNB in one of the outer districts. (besides, I forgot to go see the library, so now, of course, I have to go back ;) ) Cheers!
was literally 1 minute into the video and i ran into my roommate's room like "we have to book this airbnb" so we're going in may!!! no regrets after watching the rest of the video
Just stopped the vid to comment eight away: Good job going to Café Hawelka instead of Central your first day. 😁 I don't know if you knew at the time, but Hawelka has been famous for decades here in Austria, there are even songs about this place. 😂 Central is great for the fancy feeling but honestly very touristy. Hawelka is definitely the place most Austrians would prefer! 😉❤
Loved your Prague vlog. So happy to see your Vienna trip 😊 The Klimt exhibit looked amazing!
Thanks for watching!
I recently went to Austria for a work trip and managed to spend two days in Vienna. Such a beautiful place!
I also was recommended Vollpension. I was surprised to see some of my favourite childhood cakes there
Such a cosy vlog! I am happy you liked Vienna! And the places you have chosen to visit are really loved by the Viennese themselves. and you have even stayed somewhere near my place! 😊
How to start Sunday the right way. This vlog was amazing and I loved it!
Thank you 🤍🤍🤍
Gorgeous video, amazing videography and storytelling 🤘and it made me want to watch Before Sunrise again ❤
🥹 thank you!
Omg it’s so funny to see you visiting a city I have actually visited before!! You totally did Vienna justice🫶🏻 I could imagine you loving Munich as well!!
Beautiful photography. Its true..some see beauty where others pass on and miss out 💗
Wow. Beautiful city, and great content. That part where you sneezed though... and the cute dogs! Hope you're enjoying cherry blossoms in Seoul and the mild weather.
😂🙏
You inspire me so much to travel alone, I hope I can face my fear and do it this year finally ♥️
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Really nice vlog. I'm sure I could smell the cherry blossoms coming from my computer.I hope you got that fabulous dress and coat really looked awesome and that wee dog in the window was amazing. The cake near the end made me want to have a piece but it's late here. Thank you for this vlog.
The struggle of traveling with just a backpack is i couldnt buy much but glad i at least have the photos!!
So beautiful. It looks fun, and the photography is worth it!
Thank you!!!
I love Vienna too and wanna go back again!! I had my first trip to Vienna last year and your video helps me get my memories back❤
Every time I need to make a presentation for history assignment about a historic city, I immediately go to your channel and start screenshoting literally every two seconds of the video about that city
Your filming skills are amazing and you are so talented in finding beauty around you
Thank you for great content!
Lovely video! You should actually make like a video comparing Vienna to Prague since I feel these two cities are super similar!
You're living my dream!!!! Vienna is the city I have wanted to see since I found out about it.
My boyfriend and I are looking at flying to Vienna for a long weekend soon after watching this! How beautiful!
have the loveliest time :') ❤
Why does the living room look exactly like the room at the beginning of Inceptionnnn?? Stunning interior design, and an even more beautiful vlog! Thanks Cari for taking us with you on the trip!
Neat keys. I’ve never been to Vienna. What are some “must do & must see” activities. I love the idea of that Granny Pension. So neat!!
I am very happy you enjoyed your stay in Vienna, as a Czech guy I could only reommend you to do so in Central Europe. Should you ever come visit again (I hope you will), would be happy to meet up. Have a good time and thank you for your videos! ^^
So beautiful 😮 I'm looking forward to it! My Home Vlog 🥰
Thanks again for the meeting, it was so wonderful and there were so many lovely people😊. I was such a nervous bundle and forgot everything I wanted to ask 🥲
Thank you for coming 🥲🙏😍🙏
Thanks Cari for taking us to such beautiful places again, this clip is just basically walking on heaven 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I am going to visit Vienna next month! Thank you so much for your recommendations!! These places look so nice!🤗
Wahhhh have fun!
as a huge fan of before sunrise, this vlog is a dream! always love how you capture tiny life moments, cari!!
hope the audio of the entire video was a bit more even, i couldn't make out some parts where you were speaking bc of low audio then the next clip blasts bgm 😭
The way I stopped all I was doing the second I see the notification 😂 god I love your videos so much!
Thank you 😭😭😭
Really hoping to do Vienna-Prague-Budapest this summer with a friend and this was a great way to feel inspired and get tips 🤩
Wahhhh sounds like a dream!!!
This is one of my dream trips too!
So lucky! I made it to Salzburg when I was in Europe but never to Vienna. Super psyched to get your impressions of it! :-) Hope you are doing well!
i almost fell asleep on the bus and ended up in salzburg instead of linz so hahaha
Oh my god, you came to the city I live in!! Kinda sad I missed the meetup but I am glad you liked it here ❤
If you prefer to see Vienna with really good weather the best time to visit is May or June because the weather can be really unpredictable and cold until the end of April. Also, once it's warm the whole city becomes very lively (like the danuble canal that you filmed would be full of people sitting, drinking and chatting) and people's moods are just generally better then, too. 😁
Oh and I definitely agree with you on the small and cozy cafe. Most viennese people don't go to the famous cafes but rather prefer their own Stammlokal (=local hangout). I really like Cafe Votiv which is close to the University of Vienna and Votivchurch (at U2 Schottentor which is quite central). This cafe is comparably cheap (since students go there), has great breakfast and lunch to offer and when the weather is good you can also sit outside. ☺ And if you wanna taste the best vegan burgers on the planet (imo), I recommend Swing Kitchen which is a high quality austrian vegan burger chain. Always miss those burgers when I am abroad.
I love how you appreciate just a litte things around you that most of us maybe just walk by. In August ill take my family to Vienna for their very First time I can't wait Thank you for making a beautiful video ,sending Love from Thailand Joob Joob
This made me so emotional, because Vienna was my home for three years and I still wish I lived there... I hope you loved it at least 1/2 how I love that city❤❤❤
🥹🙏🥹🙏
Always mindblown at the roads in Europe, along with the beautiful architecture just wow incredible sites to see.
🙏🙏🙏
Yes, you gave Vienna justice, such a beautiful city, looking forward to going there. Take care 💕🌷
Definitely was a different low key video. You seemed more like a local than a tourist. It was beautiful and love seeing all the cafe's you went to.
Thank you 🥲
15:43 interesting to see a John Waters poster! He is from Baltimore MD which is my neck of the woods. Awesome to see a piece of maryland all the way in Austria
Of all the European cities, Vienna has to be top 3 favorite place.
definitely a place i can see myself living in!!
Curious about your other two!
What are the other two?
I am from Vienna and my number 1, since 2011, would be Barcelona 💘
@@FreeElf25 thanks for asking! By no means have I been everywhere in Europe, but I absolutely loved Paris for the same reasons why everyone love Paris, and also the ultra clean and organized feeling of Zurich.
But I've yet to have visited Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc, so maybe my opinions would change.
But the cities I liked least was London and Brussels.
Yesss!!! Was waiting for this ❤❤
❤😊❤😊
Your vlogs are so calming, love the content.❤ If you want any city recommendations to visit, Brugges or Gent in Belgium are beautiful!!
Yesss belgium has always been high on my list!
I love this type of travel video. Thank you! i watch these video because It's a great way to improve my English vocabulary and grammar!
thank you for making this video. It’s so well done! Even more excited for my trip now 🤩
I really love the vibe and atmosphere of your video after i watched several videos about visiting vienna now. After you've been to vienna before you were free to explore vienna in a way that everyone should: dont stick to the top recommendend attractions unless you really need to see it, like maybe klimt exhibitions or the beautiful castles and parks. And especially the 2nd district, where your appartment was, has a really nice flair and lots of small places to enjoy breakfast or lunch. And also around naschmarkt, just stroll around and try some interesting looking cafes, eat humus and falafel all day, have some coffee or lokum, this is really more the way to enjoy vienna instead of waiting in lines in front of cafe central or sacher 😊
I loved everything about this video❤ Vienna is so beautiful, and the apartment! Looks like you had a great time😊
Thank you so much!
I would love you to visit Germany and the Netherlands the next time you come to Europe:) glad you liked it. I lived in Seoul for a year and now im exploring Japan because I loved Seoul so much i want to Explore more of Asia!
I have an amsterdam vlog if you’re interested! hoping to visit again soon!
Vienna is such a marvellous city. Love it. I've been there a few times and will visit it again :)
What a stunning city! Loved this vlog, thankyou for sharing your trip!
Thanks for watching 🥰
Taking a bus to Vienna today! I’m so excited. Glad I found this video
I am about to partake in a three day Vienna trip too! This vlog was perfect to fulfil my anticipation!!
Have a wonderful trip!!
I love that you enjoyed this trip. You took a hell of a lot of really cool and beautiful shots of the city. You make Vienna look all shiny and new again ❤. But they have got to work on the presentation of the food.... no match for Seoul in that regard 🙈
Looks like you had a grand time. I'm thrilled for you...even if you had a talking-to from the cafe manager/owner about too many people in your party. That Airbnb's seating area made me think Freud or Jung was going to make an appearance (and yes, portrayed by Viggo Mortensens and Michael Fassbender respectively).
😂😂😂
It's my dream to travel to Vienna someday. Thank you so much for this gorgeous excursion! I just came across your video, and it's magical, really, I am sooooo into this vibe. And all the songs in the video are identical to my fav. have a niceee day
Sitting around is one of the best things to enjoy whatever surrounding you’re in!!
Exactly!!
Aw, I’m from Vienna! happy you loved it 💕
🥰🥰🥰
Delightful, thank you 😊
i smiled so big when you started the vid with that before sunrise dialogue! ever since i watched that movie, i've been wanting to go to vienna and now after watching your video, i just HAVE to do it. its soo pretty
Yessss!!!
