Vienna
If I had to describe Vienna in one word it is "royal". No matter where you are in the city, there seems to be this royal atmosphere about the area. Adding to the fun, while Vienna is growing in popularity, it isn't as busy as Rome or Paris. You get a big city feel without feeling overwhelmed by all of the tourists

One thing to know about me is that I absolutely love looking through and touring old castles, palaces, and museums as I feel transported back in time, so I was unbelievably excited when I learned that palaces and museums are Vienna's speciality!
