When in Vienna do like the Wieners

the pope · #1 Posted **Jun 10, 2012, 5:45 PM**

So a continuation on my trip. Previous threads include and are limited to London, Prague and Bratislava.

Vienna was just a day trip so only 38 or so pictures. Outside of the heart of Vienna (inside the ringstrasse), the city seemed really sleepy. Like this was a Saturday, and virtually every restaurant was closed outside of the ringstrasse. I don't know if it was a cultural/local thing. Oh well, only spent a day there. Carry on.

No translation necessary

I don't have anything witty to say.

That is all.

Looks very clean and elegant and tons of cranes, do you know what they were for?

If i have my names and info correct, Vienna has (had) three main rail stations. I think they are closing and consolidating them into one major hub. Not sure where the hub is going to be, but based on the cranes, i could guess it's there.

Vienna is one of Europe's most beautiful cities!

Very nice work, thanks for sharing. I noticed the subway stations are spotless perhaps they are new or remodeled?

Very nice pictures!

I like all the cities of Central Europe. Vienna is very pretty. I´d like to visit it.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!
