There was much harassment of people trying to sell us concert tickets. Mainly for Mozart but all classical stuff. Not just the same old 'hey take a flyer'They really don't take no for an answer. And they also swarm intersections, 3 or 4 of them. One will always get you. We walked through the large cathedral in old town. And from my memories of 10yrs ago, the scaffolding hadn't moved much on the outside. After a brief walk through, we went to the Sissi museum. She is described as the "lady Di of Austria". There was an amazing display of royal tableware, some palace rooms, and the highlight, Sissi's story with all the myths and legends about her. She was married young and went from a carefree life to one of prestige and seclusion. She became so withdrawn and obsessive of her looks (to the point of wearing a leather face mask lined with thin cuts of veal to sleep). Sadly she was assasinated in her later years.
