Hello, darlings! It's your favourite pink tutu-wearing traveller, Emma, here, reporting live from the heart of Vienna! My heart is fluttering with excitement as I step out of my gorgeous train carriage and into this enchanting city, with its grand architecture and rich history.
This week's adventures have been a true feast for the senses! Firstly, let's talk fashion, because let's be honest, what is a travel blog without a bit of style? I've been utterly smitten with Vienna's boutiques, filled with gorgeous vintage dresses and quirky accessories. I managed to snag the most exquisite coral-pink top, which of course I had to pair with a tutu for an immediate Insta-worthy moment.
Oh, and speaking of Instagram, I've been snapping pictures non-stop! Every corner of this city screams out for a beautiful photograph, from the magnificent St. Stephen's Cathedral, a real architectural marvel, to the vibrant cobbled streets teeming with locals. Did you know, darlings, that Vienna is nicknamed the 'City of Music'? This makes it the perfect spot to explore ballet and theatre.
I simply adore a good ballet show, don't you? So naturally, my first stop was the Wiener Staatsoper. Oh, the glamour! The ornate chandeliers, the opulent costumes, and of course, the dazzling dance performances! I felt like I had been whisked back to the Golden Age of Ballet. Afterwards, I took a stroll through the gorgeous Schönbrunn Palace Gardens. What a beautiful setting to unwind and admire the stunning scenery.
Let me tell you, this is truly a city that dances! Every day there are countless performances of all genres – classical, contemporary, even opera! It's truly exhilarating! The one thing that strikes me is that Vienna is incredibly romantic. From its beautiful architecture to the slow-paced charm of its streets, it's like a dreamland. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a certain something in the air, that helps inspire romance and passion – maybe a secret recipe using the magic of Mozart!
Now, you know I couldn't leave without trying a delicious Vienna Schnitzel, a culinary treat that I've been dying to sample. Oh, my word! So juicy and tender, it just melted in my mouth! I washed it down with a delightful glass of Austrian Riesling, making my evening a culinary dream!
As the sun sets, casting long shadows across the beautiful Danube, I am reminded that this trip is just a small chapter in my grand ballet-filled journey. Each week I uncover a new adventure, discover new ways to express my passion for dance and travel, and inspire others to join the pink tutu revolution. Remember, you don’t need to be a ballerina to wear a tutu! You just need a bit of imagination and a whole lot of joie de vivre.
Remember, my darlings, life is a stage, and you are the star! Let your personality shine, wear that tutu with confidence, and embrace every adventure with open arms. I'll be sharing my weekly escapades every Wednesday on www.pink-tutu.com.
Until next time,
Emma x
