    The Ring Boulevard was inaugurated on May 1st in 1865 and is one of the biggest (4 kilometres long) and most beautiful boulevards of its kind; construction was initiated by Emperor Franz Joseph I in December 1857. Today, the Ring Boulevard is divided into : Schubertring, Karntnerring, Opernring, Burgring, Dr. Karl Renner-Ring, Dr. Karl Lueger-Ring and Schottenring; the boulevard circles the city centre and there are special tramways (no. 1 and 2) covering the entire length. The magnificent Ring Boulevard was erected on the free space which emerged after tearing down the former city walls, glacis and military enforcements protecting the city center, today's first district (Innere Stadt).

    The Viennese have gone to great lengths to brighten the urban landscape with patches of green. The Habsburgs opened and maintained the city's primary public gardens throughout the last four centuries; the areas became public property after WWII. There are several parks along the Ring, including the Stadtpark, Resselpark, Burggarten, and Volksgarten, and in nearly every suburb of the city. The gardens of Schloss Schonbrunn and Schloss Belvedere are particularly beautiful.

    Watching the Viennese skating in front of the Rathaus while drinking Glühwein. The kids even have a small rink to themselves. Good thing - from what I witnessed on the main rink with people crashing into the hoardings and each other, it looks like a dangerous sport!

    The " Rathaus " , situated on Ringstraße, opposite of " Burgtheater " , was built between 1872-83

    In front of the town-hall you will see different activities all over the year : In December the " Christkindlmarkt " in Jan/March the whole square will be iced for scaters for several weeks, and in summer there will be music-performances This pic is taken in the " Burggarten " - the townhall is in the back and in the front you see the " Theseustempel "

    The central area (I. Bezirk) is surrounded by the monumental buildings and gardens of the Ring Road, the area developed between 1859 and 1888 on the site of the old fortifications and surrounding glacis which linked up the heart of the medieval town with the old suburbs.

    In December 1883 Austria´s Chamber of Deputies and Upper Chamber moved to the new Parliament. Tours of the Parliament are given regularely except when the Governement is in session. (When the Houses convene, flags are flown on the poles at the front of the building.)

    Street lights are strung on wires in Vienna as opposed to being mounted on posts. I really like the way the wires have created a star here with the Rathaus in the background.

    This is a great garden on the Ring, between the Burgtheater and the Hofburg. Hundreds of colorful flowers in spring, all with a name tag.

    Walk the Ring, the main pedestrian streets and in the Hofburg area, and lose your mind trying to digest all the fabulous buildings and architecture you see on the way. Get someone who lives there or has been there to tell you what is what.

    The laid-back atmosphere, the life in the streets, the weird people on every corner, the ice cream at Tichy, the packed 'Stüberln' and 'Heurigen' .. and lots of other things!
