First off today, I revisited the Ringstrasse, which is a ring-road that circles the inner city of Vienna; on the map below, you can see the ring-road (the only name on it is "Univeritatsring" - the name changes along the length, depending on the section), and the inner city, which is marked as "Innere Stadt" - German for "inner city".
The Museums Quarter is home to some fine buildings - here are 2 of them:
This is the southern tower, which is the tallest of the 2 towers, at 137 metres.
Sisi was 16 when she married her first cousin Franz Josef; there's just something very weird about all of that. She was renowned as the most beautiful woman of her time, and took around 3 hours a day to have her ankle-length hair cared for, during which time she practised her Greek or Hungarian, in which she was fluent.
Unfortunately, like most of these places, no internal photos were allowed.
It was a short U-bahn (underground rail) ride to the Schonbrunn Palace; this huge place started life as a hunting lodge, and clearly it got out-of-hand, with over 1,400 rooms and to the point where it had 1,500 residents when the Royal Family would move there - it became the Summer Palace, which seeing as it's still in Vienna, I fail to see how it would really have made that much difference, other than a change of scenery.
