MORNING
We landed late morning. The journey into Vienna’s centre from the airport was efficient: 16 minutes on the CAT train and we were there, then another easy ten-minute walk to our apartment. Bags dropped and we were straight back out again with the youngest in the buggy.
LUNCH
We walked over to the MAK, a small but perfectly formed arts museum with strong V&A energy and a nice if pricey Salonplafond restaurant. We filled up on brunch there.
AFTERNOON
Then we hit the MAK museum which had about 4 or 5 diverse temporary exhibitions, including a festive display of Gobelin glass baubles, and a Hito Steyerl video art show about AI which the kids
were glued to from inside of a heavily decorated golf cart! From there, it was a gentle ramble to the Hundertwasser House, all wonky lines and joyful colours.
EVENING
By early evening we were back at the apartment, cooking pasta from the deli
downstairs in reception, having stocked up on breakfast food and snacks for the days ahead.
