For as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to visit Vienna but I can't honestly say why: I can't differentiate Mozart from Strauss or Brahms when I hear a classical music tune, classical music puts me to sleep, I don't really like horses (Spanish riding school), I'm not much of an art or architecture connoisseur...I think that it all started when I saw a cartoon of "Hansel and Gretel" by the Brothers Grimm (who aren't Austrian but German!!!!) and I pictured that the houses in Vienna would have a certain design (that I then saw in Denmark!) that I relate to the fairy tale (see the picture below)...I don't know. The good thing is that I visited one of my dream cities.
...thanks to my wild imagination while reading Hansel and Gretel. I either thought that the houses looked as colorful and picturesque as on the picture on the bottom, or that they all had the brown stripes on the picture at the top, or both. The pictures can be seen at their original sizes at Aalborg Guideforening (the picture on top) and Yvette's public albums at Picasa (the one at the bottom).
for helping me out choosing photos for this page ;)

Happy birthday to you.. Happy birthday to you... watch crossing against red lights... Or they will yell at you too.. Karl ;-)
Regarding the buildings you don't know the name, ask Michael, he knows anything

LOL.. that hotel looks a bit different from the one I am always staying in! (but quite like)
I like Schmankerlwirt too, it is great inn with really good food. And of corse, it was great to meet you there last year! Nice to see Vienna from your eyes.
This is awesome that Michael gave you a walk around Vienna --- how wonderful! I also like that ferris wheel...Norman :)
Nice tips Mariel!
