Vienna is the most immediately likable city that I have so far visited. Unlike much larger cities like Paris, Rome and London, Vienna seems quaint. It really retains it's historical past effortless. Vienna also has so more going for it. Few cities can rival it for superb palaces. The art and cultural life is unsurpassed in Europe. And it seems to be less hurried than the other cultural capitals of Europe. Vienna also makes a great base for daytrips throughtout Eastern Austria including cruises up and down the Danube River. There is more than enough to see and do in Vienna and nearby to occupy a full week.
- Pros:Magnificent palaces and galleries.
- Cons:Not the most exciting city after dark.
- In a nutshell:One of Europe's Most Pleasurable Cities

Thanks Paul for the virtual tour of Vienna = maybe one day I will see the wonderful architecture you describe here
Most interesting page on Vienna, well-written tips with lovely pictures. Happy birthday from Finland!
Thanks for this very interesting and useful page, Paul. You may be interested that I've 'stored' several of your tips in our 'Vienna' file for our coming trip!
Very nice and extensive site about Vienna. One of the last cities we ant to visit in order to search for Sissi! We visited Madeira, Corfu and Venice already. Can't wait. Thanx for sharing!
Happy birthday, Paul! This is a fine Vienna page with informative texts on everything from world-class museums to Hundertwasser's rubbish incinerator plant. Greetings from Frankfurt am Main.
Nice page about Vienna which is one of my favourite European cities. Greetings from Poland.
I would really enjoy what Vienna has to offer, the architecture & museums. Very interesting read Paul Thanks (~_~)
Very well written tips. Some lovely buildings and some Hieronymus Bosch! I've seen some of his paintings in Madrid.
These are truly wonderful pages, Paul. I love your emphasis on the unique architecture, even it is an industrial building! Loved the Belvedere Palace. As always, you are precise, honest, interesting in your text and have superior photographs.
Excellent pages. Amazing to see how different the weather was to when I was there.
