Favorite Thing: The State Operahouse was the first of the monumental buildings built on the Ring, the avenue which was created after the razing of the city wall in 1857. Here the world famous 'Opernball' takes place once a year. 1010 Wien, Opernring

Favorite Thing: St. Stephen´s Cathedral (Stephansdom)´s history began in 1140, when the Bishop of Passau ordered the construction of a new parish church outside the existing city walls. The Romanesque structure was dedicated to St.Stephen and consecrated in 1147. The church underwent almost complete renovation in the middle of the 13th century. There would be soooooo much to tell, you have to go there and see it with your own eyes! :-)
