Vienna Versus Prague

I found Vienna to be a beautiful city filled with art but much more confusing to navigate as compared to Prague. I ended up doing a day trip around the city and managed to figure out their tram system with some effort but got lost several times along the way. By the days end I did tons of walking and had to rush back across the city (running to catch 2 separate trams) so I could make my overnight bus to Venice Italy.

Austria as a whole seems less old world and more new world compared to the Czech Republic which is still no doubt recovering from their Communist occupation period. If I had to pick a location for historic beauty with less tourism, it would be Prague, if I was choosing for the arts, museums etc. it would be Vienna.
