At 5:30 AM on a blisteringly cold Friday morning, we arrived in Vienna. We wandered through the Austrian capital’s dark, empty streets before dawn and watched as they slowly came to life. The city is beautiful, to be sure – its buildings are adorned with the architectural grandiosity one might expect – but Vienna also possesses subtle charms, which reveal and endear themselves to you in unexpected ways. 

Below, you’ll find a smattering of photographs from throughout the day.
