    Cafe at Hundertwasserhaus

    Posted by idealist 26 June 2006

    Since the Hundertwasserhaus is 50 social housing flats (the most sought after in the city) it is not possible to see inside.

    However the cafe shows a free film which we were shown in English of the artist talking about his ideas and then there are interior shots. We were also welcomed by the charming student running the cafe; we felt that for us it was the best of Vienna.

    the view from Heldenplatz

    Posted by mseymour 26 October 2005

    Heldenplatz is where Hitler stood and proclaimed the Anschluss (Annexation). Stand in the middle and look around you. You have the Hofburg (Imperial Palace) behind you and you can see the two matching museums, the beautiful Rathaus (city hall) and the Burgtheater. Breathtaking.

    If you find yourself arriving in Vienna on a Sunday, first orientate yourself by taking the tram all the way around the Ringstrasse - a one day travel pass costs 5 euros. When evening begins, head for the Rathaus (you'll have seen it on the tram ride) where you will find every food choice you can think of in the park. Join the Viennese on an evening out by making your choice and sit in the free seats in front of the Rathaus (what a great name for the town hall). A recording of a memorable recent classical concert or opera will be shown on the screen before you. Relax and enjoy.

    The Rathaus is on Dr. Karl Lueger Ring;
