Angelic Voices
by viddra
Touring the Augartenpalais, a baroque palace in Vienna, the place where world famous boys chorists live, study and rehearse, and what's more, listening to Haydn Choir singing just for us, is something I'll never forget. Listening to 'Carmina Burana' (among other things) in this Choir's interpretation, and in their familiar surroundings, is a one-time experience!
2nd district - Leopoldstadt
by pakistanibrain
The Giant Wheel (in German: Riesenrad) is the main tourist attraction of the Wurstelprater, a theme park near the centre of Vienna.
The Leopoldstadt (that's how the 2nd district is called) is located between the Danube (Donau) and the Danube channel (Donaukanal) and so it forms an island together with the 20th district - Brigittenau. That's why the 2nd and the 20th are also called island districts. Apart from the Prater, the largest football stadium of Austria, the Ernst Happel Stadium, is also within the Leopoldstadt.

The Tiergarten Schönbrunn Zoo Vienna is located near the famous Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria.
It is the oldest zoo in the world, dating from 1752. Since its privatization in 1992 it is led by Helmut Pechlaner, also president of WWF Austria, who managed to modernize most parts of the zoo and sustain the financial situation of the zoo.

An exceptional place. You cannot leave Vienna without visiting it.
The bad thing is that photography nor videotaping is not allowed inside the Palace, only outside.

Midnight Snacks: Try a Würstelstand
by mydreamquest
Throughout Vienna, after most restaurants and stores are closed, there is still an option to purchase things on the streets especially if you are still hungry after all the restaurants are closed. They are normally located on the streets just outside of many of Vienna's main U-Bahn stations.
There are various things that can be bought at würstelstands like cigarettes, snacks, chips, ice cream, gum, mints.
Many thanks to my dear friend Illy in Vienna, I have been able to get the details of this tip correct (thanks Illy!!!).
