I'm not really sure where to...
by Katirose
I'm not really sure where to start with this particular page because I so thoroughly my time an Vienna and can't wait to go back to Austria.
Alas, the must see's for the visitor: the Schloss Schonbrunn, to see the magestic interior, The Hofburg, Stephansdom - a tiled roof like none other, and the Schloss Belvedere to see the works of Gustav Klimt and other important Austrian artists, and the final resting place of the greats: Beethoven, Schubert and Brahms in the Zentralfriedhof, Vienna being a city of music, listing to Mozart in the Orangerie was an absolute thrill.
As a person of modest means from Chicago, riding in a taxi that is a Mercedes Benz was also exciting.

Another closer view to the Chatedral.
This chatedral is absolute one of the landmarks of Vienna. Very impressive is wonderful tiled roof.
Next to the chatedral is a square, very crowdy, where various activities are taking place.
Rathaus or Town Hall
by Skipka
This dominant of Vienna remembers the time of Franz Josef I and all what u see is a work of architect Friedrich Schmidt who made his idea of design into reality. The building itself is in the nouve-gothic style and it is seat of city council, urban management and region council. All these representatives fit to the area of 14 000 m2 to this complex of halls and staterooms. The symbol of Town Hall is "Man of Town Hall" who is bravely standing on the top of the Tower. For those who would like to know more about him ... he is 3.4 m tall and his weight is 1800 kg (maybe too much food...) and it is the work of Alexander Nehr. In summer there is a festival of music (Vienna summer) and you can go for a walk through this beautiful monument from Monday to Friday about 1 pm with a profesional guide. Of course it is real only when there is no program of councils :) The best is to come in summer or winter. In summer you can enjoy all the sun in nearby park and in the wnter especially before Xmas you can enjoy ice skating on temporary ice ring.

Michael Seida, the crooner of Simmering
by siwi
From Las Vegas Michael Seida, big crooner and tap dancer bring Rat-Pack songs to Vienna... It's not an imitation, it's a creation...
Michael Seida sings Rat-Pack songs in "Wienerisch" (dialect of Vienna). He and his band are GREAT! My mother, fan of Dean Martin, had a great time even if she doesn't speak German. This show is a must see show!
