The grand city of Vienna

by csordila - last update: Jun 29, 2009

Schoenbrunn is the most important cultural site in Austria and is definitely one of the major tourist attractions in Vienna. Soon after the end of the monarchy the palace was opened to the public, drawing around 1.5 million visitors annually.
Market of gluttony

The Market of Gluttony, the Naschmarkt

Who would think that in Vienna beside the balls , concert halls, museums, collections, cafes and restaurants, the market may be an interesting program for you.
If I have bad mood, I visit Naschmarkt: the perfect order of the pretty huts, the multitude of the fragrances and the colours, the sight of vegetables and fruits always calms me.
On Saturday mornings also a flea market works here. With some fortune and patience, we may find even values which cannot be evaluated .
The joy of the shopping finds us easily in Vienna, have enough Euro simply.

Modern art

The territory of creative architecture

The Hundertwasser-Haus is an architectural speciality, a multicolored fairy tale castle between grey, standardized large city houses. Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser rebelling against the dictatorship of straight lines has planned it. The colourful undulations of this house, every angle moulded into a curve, has been integrated into the architectural milieu. We can observe an excessive luxuriance of colours and forms in his extraordinarily rich design. He used every means to express his life philosophy manifesting the creation of a harmony of humanism. He was, all in all, an intrepid and audacious warrior of human rights, world peace and environmental protection.

 Thanks for visiting our San Marino page. Vienna is among our (unrealistic) plans for this summer, and your tips are just perfect for us. BTW "Schnitzel" produced our word "snicla", that is something that we've discovered from your tip :-)

 Why don't they accept credit cards? Just like most shops in the provinces of Japan. All cash...which is great anyway. ..especially when you don't have to worry about thieves...a lot.

 Great that you and your company reconstructed the old Collegium Hungaricum building!
