And a good time was had by all! Reminiscing about And a good time was had by all! Reminiscing about holiday fun in Vienna, Austria on our @vikingcruises Romantic Danube #cruise. An optional Viking excursion in Vienna, the “Heurigen Evening” provided a high-spirited authentic Viennese gemütlichkeit experience. A shuttle from the ship took our small group of five couples and our guides to the city’s 19th district where numerous vineyards are located with their wine taverns called Heurigen. The Heuriger became part of Austrian culture in the 18th century when Emperor Joseph II proclaimed that anyone who made their own wine could sell it to the public in their establishments. #myvikingstory . . . #austria #visitaustria #austria🇦🇹 #traveleurope #europeantravel #instaaustria #instavienna #heurigen #heuriger #wien #traveldeeper #viennagram #vikingcruises
Same time, last year... Lunch at a Chicago landmar Same time, last year... Lunch at a Chicago landmark — The Berghoff restaurant, a historic family-owned German restaurant on Adams Street in the Loop. Although renovated in recent years, it still serves hearty and authentic German comfort food in brauhaus ambiance. Great for holiday spirit on a brisk December day. #chicago #illinois #usa . . . #christmas #visitchicago #visitillinois #enjoyillinois #theberghoff #wintertravel #germanrestaurant #travelillinois #holidayseason #sametimelastyear #travelblogger #chicagoroots

The gorgeous domes are part of the Church of Our Saviour on Spilled Blood.
