Going to: Vienna
New York Times
A fairly mundane review of the goings on in Wien at the moment. The article mentions all the standards, so a first-time tourist won't miss a monument. There is a lot more to Vienna than Meinl, the Musikverein and Skybar.
They're nice places. Don't get me wrong.
To me, Vienna is an old-school jewel of a city with an abundance of charm and distinction. As the Times shows, the top layer of the city is soon discovered, but much of Vienna’s beauty hides in the unseen corners of one-way streets and alleyways. You could say the same about the people.
The photo of the Riesenrad is from my Vienna gallery on crossprocess.com.
