Emperor Franz Joseph's grand urban renewal made Vienna a fairy tale city of white boulevards flanked by grand neo-gothic and neo-baroque buildings. So many great buildings, maybe the grandest boulevard in Europe.

Vienna offers beautiful gardens, but no large park in the center. The Stadtpark park was opened in 1862 and is embellished by water courses and a small lake. Among the numerous monuments the golden statue of Johann Strauss is the most photographed.

Since its thorough restoration, this castle has been breaking all attendance records. The Unteren Belvedere (lower Belvedere) , rather sober-looking, was completed in 1716 as the residence of Prince Eugene of Savoy, Austrian history’s most successful general. His art collection was housed here also. At present one can admire baroque art there. The magnificent Oberes Belvedere (upper Belvedere) was intended to be a State Palace and was fitted out by Emperor Joseph II as the imperial portrait gallery. Here you can now look at art from the 19th and 20th centuries displayed in the Österreichische Galerie.

I guess you’re paying for the name and the flair, not the coffee. These traditional cafés are all near the opera house, but the singers prefer Starbucks because it is non-smoking. |
