Our evening did not end at the Prater. We had enough energy left to take the subway to StephensPlatz and from there to wander around eventually to the Hofburg and the Rathaus before tramming back home.

Entrance to the Sisi Museum: Franz Josef's wife;
we watched an interesting first season of a Netflix
movie/series, The Empress, while in Prague; we visited
the Hofburg in 2010 or 2012 (or both; and the
Schonbrunn Palace, too; plus Versailles last summer,
and Fountainbeau), so we're passing on all the opulence,
etc., on this visit |
 |
We saw the prancing ponies in Slovenia a few
years ago, at their stud farm, so we're good in that
department too |
 |
| Interior courtyard, tour groups still going strong |
 |
| Riding to the rescue |
