The two fountains on each side of the opera house were created by Josef Gasser (1817-1868).
They represent two worlds: music, dance and joy on the left, and the siren Lorelei supported by sorrow, love, and vengeance on the right. Leave a Comment

 The smallest house in
Vienna by globetrott
It is just a bit more than 1,45 meters wide and fills a tiny spot between 2 houses and the street and dates back to 1872.
Inside the building is a famous shops for old and new clocks by Friedrich Schmollgruber, a specialist also for repairs of old clock-works of all ages.
He also has a shop and a clock-museum in Steyr. Leave a Comment

Palais Trautson dates back to the year 1710 and was built by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach (1656-1723, and also the architect of Karlskirche ).
He built the Palais for "Obersthofmeister" Fuerst von Trautson.
Oberst-Hofmeister was one of the highest ranks at the court of the emperor.
Today the Palais is not open for the public, but used by the ministery of Justice and police-officers are guarding there the whole day, so you better behave well !!
You may see it of course from OUTside, like I did, from a small park in front of it.
The Palais is in the 7th district, close to Neubaugasse and Bellaria-Kino.
A-1070 Wien, Museumstrasse 7 Leave a Comment

Look for the ornaments in Palmenhaus im Hofgarten - they were recently totally restored.The Palmenhaus also offers a great restaurant with a terrace to have coffee in the atmosphere, the emperor and his noblemen used to enjoy . Opposite of palmenhaus you will find one of the few places in the centre of Vienna, where you may spend the day, sitting on the grass of the park called Hofgarten.
Palmenhaus is behind of Albertina and in the backside of Hofburg - it is best to enter it from Ringstrasse.
Next to Palmenhaus you may see the "Schmetterlingshaus" - a building full of exotic butterflies - NOT dead like in Naturhistorisches Museum, BUT alive and flying around ! Leave a Comment

Palais Ferstl reminds me a bit of a palace in Venice - from inside and from outside as well. You may enter it from Freyung and will walk through a great gallery of exclusive shops and beautifully decorated arcades. At the end of the gallery you will come to a fountain inside of the building, and from there you may go as well to Cafe Central - well known for its beautiful arcades and architecture and celebrities like Peter Altenberg, a famous Viennese poet, who used to spend almost the whole day in the Cafe, meeting friends and writing his books...
Palais Ferstl and also Cafe Central have also an entrance from Herrengasse.
While Cafe Central will be open untill 10.00p.m.,the shopping-arcade of Palais Ferstl will be locked at around 09.00p.m. Leave a Comment

There are three such a small shops in a raw offering classical look cloks made by the local craftsmen. I cannot say much of its location, but it is definetely in the centre of the town and in a walking distance from the cathedral. Clocks like this one might be a nice memory from Vienna.
