"iEARN 2004 International Conference in Slovakia" Trip
Exploration in Vienna
Vienna
July11 (Sunday)
Our trip to iEARN International Conference in Slovakia started in Vienna.
We left Japan on the 10th morning, arrived at Vienna that day and stayed the night there,
We enjoyed the sightseeing in Vienna on the whole day of 11th,
then fly to Kosice in Slovakia in the late evening of the 11th
for the conference which starts on the 12th.
Our hotel was the most conveniently located just in front of the South Station of Vienna.
It was also close to Belvedergarten. The first thing we did in Vienna was walking in the garden of Belvedergarten.
11th was Sunday and most shops and restaurants were closed, but sightseeing spots, such as museums, galleries, cathedrals, etc, were open, so we walked and walked, looking around historic buildings.
Stephansdom in the center of downtown
The day was Sunday so there was a mass held inside.
A carriage and pair for sightseeing
In front of the Staatsoper
When we were walking around Staatsoper, a member of Wiener Mozart Orchestra was selling tickets of a concert. We were so lucky and pleased very much to get the ticket, because we really hope to listen to Mozart in Vienna.
