New Year’s in Vienna city hall!

The cornerstone of the 7-day train trip is celebrating New Year in the Vienna city hall, dancing waltzes under the roof of this massive Rathaus Neo gothic architecture complicated monster of a building. A monster of gilded opulence and beauty, holding true to an orchestra, waltzes, food and wine taken to the height of class. Perhaps the best New Years celebration we have ever had. Built in the 1870’s, the ball felt like nothing had changed.

Let the invitation and it’s descriptions tell the tale. Much better than what I could write. Play the Blue Danube while you read just to get a taste.
