| Vienna - Gateway to Eastern and Central Europe |
Vienna was my travel base for a few days around New Year's Eve 2003/04 and 2005/06. The capital of Austria has approximately 1.6 Million inhabitants. It is situated on the river Danube and only about 50 km away from the Slovakian capital Bratislava.
Due to its long and rich history Vienna offers buildings and churches of almost all architectural styles. As it is also a city of art and culture you will find many museums and cultural venues. The city has a wide variety of cafes, bars, restaurants and and an exciting nightlife to suit all tastes. Visiting a coffee house is an especially Viennese tradition and a custom that shouldn't be missed.
The location at the eastern border of Austria makes Vienna a perfect base for further trips to Eastern and Central European countries such as Slovakia, Czech Republic or Hungary.
"Tradition is not worshipping the ashes, but preserving the fire."

This is a very helpful travel guide for Vienna! I was amazed to learn about the size of Karl-Marx-Hof and I also never realized the Giant Ferris Wheel beat London's Eye by a whole century!! | Maurizioago Mon Jul 16, 2007 09:10 UTC
I hope to go there one day! Ciao! | Nemorino Sun Jul 15, 2007 16:13 UTC
Me again, checking out your updates. I was out cycling for a while, but it got too hot (38º at the moment), so I'll try again later. |
