Those Mozart-esque guys were trying to sell tickets for concerts. We didn't envy them to have to wear this stuff when it was so hot.
Not sure I need to explain this one....
We passed again later on and Kerstin bought 'Sacher Torte' (it is a very famous chocolate cake) for her husband.

Another Neptun Fountain

Looks heavy....
Statues at entry doors as well.
This is the spanish riding school where the famous - I think Lippizzaner - horses are being trained.
I liked that small house in between...
And this is the 'Neue Hofburg' (New Castle)

Not sure what the fish was doing in that scultpure...
The way throught the Hofburg to the other side... these coaches are called 'Fiaker' in Vienna (and the horses do SMELL......
).
This cupola from the other side...
