Take the tram
by Manara
Take a tour of the Ring to get a general impression of the grandest face of Imperial Vienna. Circular lines 1 and 2, going clockwise and anti-clockwise respectively, enable you to see a number of monuments, buildings and parks: if you start at the the Opera, with the tram line Nr 1, you will see the Burggarten with the statues of Goethe and Mozart, Maria Theresien Platz with the twin buildings of the Kunsthistorisches and the Naturhistorisches museums, the Burgtor and the Heldenplatz, the Volksgarten, the Parliament, the Rathauspark and the Rathaus (City Hall), the Burgteater, the remains of the city walls, the University, the Stock Exchange, the Votivkirche, the Ruprechtskirche, the Postsparkasse, the Regierungsgebaude, the Academy of Applied Arts, the Stadtpark with the gilded statue of Strauss, the statue of Karl Philipp von Scharzenberg, and then you are back at the Opera.
What you get in such a tour is just a glimpse of things that you may wish to go back to, for a proper visit, and this is precisely what I hope you will do.
United Nations building

Visiting the United Nations building and seeing the flags of the world strung up in the main entrance.
Does anyone know what country is inbetween the US and UK? Surely no-one can stand between Messrs Bush and Blair.
In the background my favourite flag of all - Thailand!
