On Sept 26th I had to attend a meeting at the other side of Vienna’s 1st district. As it was a nice day, I braved the masses of tourists and walked over. Here are some of the impressions on the way:

Strolling down the Kärnterstraße, I arrived at the center of Vienna: St. Stephen’s cathedral.

The original design of the cathedral called for two spires, but due to financial issues only the south tower got built.
That side of the church is also one of the bases of the Fiaker, the traditional horse carriages which are quite popular with the tourists.

Thank you so much otmar, do send us more when you can.
Travel safely everybody, and do share some stories in the comments, even if you’re joining the conversation late. Many folks confide that they go back and read old threads, one reason these are available on the Quick Links menu.
Submissions should be sent via the all-new form at https://tools.balloon-juice.com

Nice pictures.
The Wikipedia links are screwed because of the short line width.

I’m burned out.
A little armchair traveling is nice.
Thank you.

The pictures have put me in a mood. The morning will be very good coffee, fresh pastry and Mozart piano sonatas.
