Go to the Prater The Prater...
by houba
Go to the Prater The Prater in Vienna is the expansive area (6,143,984 m²) close to the city centre where the Viennese go for recreation. Due to regulation of the Danube and extensive use of the park for recreation activities, relatively little remains of what was once a vast river basin used as the imperial hunting ground; today the area offers a wide variety of open spaces, ranging from natural landscape to city park. You can find here the Giant Ferris Wheel (Riesenrad)Its 65 m high and weights 430 t. The construction of steel is build in 1896/97 by the english engineer Walter Basset.
Tourist from where?

They smiled but they did not answer...
But at least they show -with their fast walking- they way to the main gate of the Summer Palace, a landmark in Vienna and a source of smiles for those who remember the old films with Romy Schenneider The fondest is the beer and the girls but I am afraid you are asking for a different kind of fondest...like beers and girls. Never mind.
Old Vienna
by socrates_07
I don't know if I should call the following photos and informations 'General Tips' but I think I can call this new serial general informations.
I like old photos, especially if you see how the places or buildings has been changed in all these years. So I thought, maybe some of you also would like to see the development of Vienna.
Well, lets enter the time machine!!
In the next days this page will be finished. I will add some comments and upload more photos...
Gloriette III
by iandsmith
Even when I was walking away through the forest, it still beckoned me to take another picture.
It's a standout from the main palace or most places in the garden and was deliberately placed thus.
You can just imagine the Hapsburgs doing some Sunday afternoon entertaining here.
It was designed in 1775 by Hohenburg.
Saturday and Sunday breakfast
by FRONA
A lot of Vienese and foreigners like to enjoy relaxed Saturday and Sunday breakfasts or so called brunches outside their homes. Usually its a socialisation thing for couples or friends. It is very popular to sit outside and eat from March-November> Saturdays brunches are most popular on Naschmarkt that is NOT open on Sunday. Other very popular places include Quadro, Point of sale, Kunsthalle, Rochus, Hermann, Amarcord and Floriani. My favorites are Naschmarkt Deli, Kunsthalle and Point of Sale in summer and Floriani and SALZBERG in the winter - indoor.
