Picture Postcard Perfect Former Empire Center

by aflaneur - last update: Aug 15, 2005

A brief stopover in Vienna certainly inspires me to return for a more thorough look-see. Ringstrasses make for easy wanderings of the central core of the city, and pedestrian-only streets make for excellent peoplewatching opportunities. Beautiful city chock full of imperial architecture evidencing a glorious past.
Really, can you overdose on Imperial architecture? Not me.
Paris? No, Vienna. It's always fascinated me how many people lay claim to Paris as the spiritual center of their traveling universe, yet so many European cities have such a similar feel for architecture, history, cafes...and all with rivers running through them. Vienna is beautiful in every way -- as anyone sitting in an outdoor cafe, sipping a beer, wine or coffee while peoplewatching -- can attest.
