Otto-Wagner-Kirche am Spiegelgrund, also called St.Leoplodskirche in Steinhof may be seen only from outside during the week. It dates back to the beginning of the 20th century and was built in Art-Nouveau-style and recently it was totally restored. On the pictures of this tip you may see what it looks from outside and so you may decide for yourself, if you are interested to go there.
This church is to be found at the west-end of Vienna, at the terminus of the busline 48A (leaving at the parliament). At the terminus you have to enter the park of the sanitory and walk uphill for about 300 meters.
The interior of this church may be visited
ONLY at saturdays, through-out the year
at 03.00p.m. in a guided tour for 4 euros
and from 04.00-05.00p.m. on your own

The Anchor Clock is a famous Art Nouveau artwork, the highlight of the Hoher Markt.
The Painter Franz von Matsch created the clock in the year 1911, as decoration for the hover bow between the buildings of the Anker-Insurance and the neighbour house.
The peculiarity of the clock is a piece parade.
Daily, exactly at 12 o'clock, the doors open, and twelve figures from Vienna's city history appear.
Many tourists wait, daily at this event.
Address: Hoher Markt 10, 1010 Vienna
Metro: U1, U3 - Station Stephansplat
Bus: 1A, 2A, 3A - Station Hoher Markt Leave a Comment

Schmetterlingshaus is a must - especially for children & people, young at heart. This great tropical garden is inside the right wing of Palmenhaus/Orangerie of the Hofburg and it is open all of the year ! It is not made like a zoo, where you watch butterflies humming around behind a fine fence, BUT you actually walk inside the palmhouse with great tropical plants and may watch the butterflies from a short distance. Many of them decide to sit at your hand or shoulder and sometimes they wait patiently, untill you have made your photo...
Palmenhaus is open April-October : Monday-Friday :10.00a.m.-04.45p.m.
saturday, sunday & holidays it closes at 06.15p.m.
November - March: daily 10.00a.m. - 03.45p.m.
entrance-fee is 5 Euros / with Wien-card 4 Euros Leave a Comment

Majolikahaus in Wienzeile Nr. 40 was built by Otto Wagner in 1899 and it was decorated with colored tiles covering almost all of the facade in Jugendstil / Art Nouveau - style. You may see this building, next to another great Jugendstil-building by Otto Wagner next to Naschmarkt and Metrostation Kettenbrueckengasse, where the largest flea-market of Vienna is held every saturday between 07.00a.m. and 03.00p.m.
Everybody may sell his goods at that flea-market, you simply have to be there early enough in the morning to get a good place and somebody will walk around selling you a ticket that allows you to stay there as a seller. The fee is really quite low, as long as you are not an ordinary merchant ! Leave a Comment

The " Kaiser-pavillon " was once built especially for the emperor Franz Joseph, so he could take the subway and instead of stepping up the stairs with the ordinary passengers, he would have his very own station, where he could change to his carriage - you still may see the street for the royal carriage there, ending in a covered entree with the royal crown on top.Today the lovely building is a small museum, open only in the afternoon and most people will pass by without noticing.
You may get to this Art-Nouveau-Pavillon when you get out of the subway in Hietzing and walk back to Schoenbrunn castle at the left side of the "Schoenbrunner Allee" - you will see the dome of the pavillon already from the station Hietzing.
Kaiser Franz Joseph used his station ONLY ONCE !
The museum in Otto-Wagner Hofpavillon Hietzing
is open daily without mondays : 01.30-04.30p.m. Leave a Comment

This the other building made by Otto Wagner, next to Majolikahaus and in my opinion it is even more beautiful with its great golden ornaments. It is a bank today and unfortunately both buildings may not be visited from inside - there are beautifully decorated lifts and stairs.
Click on my pictures and see the great details in the facades and the sculptures at the top of the buildings - they seem to scream down on the people passing by... Leave a Comment
