Vienna - an eternal trilemma

Guten tag, meinen dreamers! Today I got back home from Vienna, the capital of Austria. When I first walked one of the most popular streets there - Mariahilferstraße, where was also my hotel, I fell in love with this city, its harmony and people.
The thing is in Vienna when you see those beautiful streets, squares and buildings, trying delicious food you can buy on the street or in some expensive restaurant and buying quality clothes under very small price you enter in a constant trilemma - wheter to stroll around and do some sightseeing, to eat or to shop. So, I split this post on three sectionts: sightseeing, shopping and eating out.
I hope you enjoy the post as much as I did taking the pics and breathing the "wiener" air!
P.S. On my Instagram profile (@missworldwide7) you can check out some more pics or you can just search the hashatag #mytriptovienna.

                                                                        SHOPPING

Look how many temptations you have in Vienna. All the shops are perfect, and the prices are very low. Welcome to paradise!

                                                                   What to pick?!


                                         XXXL Wiener schnitzel is my favourite meal when in Vienna.


                            Theese sandwiches are the best choice when you feel peckish.

                              The unique Sachertorte at the Sacher Hotel was delicious.


                              Some cocktails I had while shopping at Hammerle, my favourite shop. 


                                    For breakfast at the hotel: Kaviar sandwiches - yummy!





                                                           Sparkling wine - Prosecco



                                         Apfelstrudel is the best dessert you can have in Vienna and I ate it at
                                              the "Cafe Central", the most beautiful cafe in this city.

Who hasn't seen Seville, has missed a miracle

¡Buenos días! Today I'm posting about Seville, one of my favourite places in the world. Seville is the capital od Andalucia, a region in the south of Spain. It is very well know for its multicultural people and history - the Moors have invaded the whole Spain and especially Andalucia during seven centuries, so the influences of this culture and religion are very noticeable in this parts of the Iberian Peninsula. 
Seville is also very famous for bullfighting - corrida de torros.  Nowdays in some parts of Spain corrida is illegal, but in Seville you can still take part in this amazing, adrenaline full filled happening. 
When in Seville you must experience flamenco. Spanish national dance is a mixture of passion, good rhytm and gypsy culture, that i love. Dancing flamenco is a good way to burn calories so Angie and I decided to practice it and enjoy spanish music at least two times a week.
Seville's sightes are magnificent and hard to forget. Plaza de España (Spain's square) is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been to and Torre del Oro (the Golden tower) standing by the river of Guadalquivir is the most famous symbol of this medieval town. 
I visited Seville with my bestfriend, Jovana, so it was a special experience, that I certainly won't forget.
I hope you enjoy the pics!
