RE: Domes that pierce the sky and colors that fill the soul, Vienna, Austria

in Worldmappin14 days ago

One of the best reportages about the city of my youth, and after 50 years in Canada, again my place of residence since 2011. I am particularly impressed by your admiration of the Hundertwasserhaus. He is one of my favorite artists. A short walking distance from there is the Kunsthaus Wien - you may have missed it. Back in 2013, at the the Cafe Friedlich in the Kunsthaus Wien I attended the wildest Birthday Party ever of my friend @carolineschell. Another place worth seeing is the Heizkraftwerk Spittelau - my Flickr Album.
Also, you featured the Anker Uhr: were you there at 12 Noon? Then you can see a display of 12 figures rotating, with music.

Oh, if only you had given me all these useful tips and hints when I was here in Vienna🥲...because unfortunately I've already left it, I only had a fleeting visit🥲

Maybe next time you are here - it is impossible to see it all during a short trip. Schönbrunn, for example, would take a day to properly explore (Access with the U4 Metro). The Belvedere is also a great place to visit - in fact, when you start from the top at the S-Bahn Station Quartier Belvedere and walk through the park, you eventually wind up close to downtown via Schwarzenbergplatz and the Karlskirche. A second trip, starting at the same place, but walking down through the Botanical Garden which is next to the Belvedere, would also be a great discovery trip. So many more places, like across the Danube you find the UNO City and the Danube Tower. A summary of some of my Vienna Photos over many years you will find here: [Vienna on Flickr]. (https://www.flickr.com/photos/artofthemystic/albums/72157613278942660/) - on the individual photos you will find also what other albums they had been placed in. Though I lived here for almost 14 years, I have yet to discover more. And much has changed since the time I grew up in Vienna.

Thank you so much 🙏🏻💕
