A Viennese Whirlwind Weekend

Vienna, Austria's capital city is affectionately known as the 'city of music’ as it was once home to numerous famous classical composers from Beethoven to Vivaldi. Today, the city's musical heritage lives on and you’ll often see Mozart impersonators touting classical concerts to flocks of tourists.

This time last year we were travelling through Argentina without a snowflake in sight! Our last snowfall was in early 2013 and we’ve naively forgotten how cold and depressing winter in the UK can be. By January our pasty white faces were desperate for warm sunshine, blue skies and happiness injecting vitamin D. The question was where should we go for some winter sun?
