Vienna is an elegant city, seat of the former Hapsburg dynasty and retaining that regal pride. Its orderly streets and fine shopping districts offer plenty to see, as well as great people-watching opportunities.
There are also several castles, and a huge variety of opera and concert offerings. Famous for its musical contributors, you can find Strauss and Mozart being played in almost every venue.
Also of interest are the Vienna Boys Choir and the Royal Lippizaner stallions (which perform to the same school of dance-like training as the horses in Jerez at the Royal Andalusian School).
Transporation is extremely well-organized, and industry seemed to be booming. We even saw a large IBM complex, which made us contemplate a future overseas assignment in a city such as this, where we'd never need to drive in traffic again! |
