Vienna has boats, ships & more…
Summertime and water belong together in a way. Now Vienna (unfortunately) still is far from the sea, but that is no reason not to offer lots of exciting activities around the water.
How about boating?
So in today’s blog, it is all about boating; yes, you read correctly because Vienna’s an excellent offer combining several things. But first things first.
As you know, Vienna is settled around the River Danube, and a “side arm” of it, the Danube Canal, flows through the city center. So […]
Attention fish is crossing!
Vienna as a marine biology research center… Yes, this was a real plan.

Yet a brilliant fixture in Vienna emerged from these two ingredients, the House of the Sea in the sixth district.
After the end of […]
The house without eye brows
Vienna is known worldwide for its unique architecture. From imperial buildings like Schönbrunn Palace to modern architecture by contemporary visionaries. Many buildings tell their own extraordinary story, which can sometimes be very moving and emotional.
A well-known house in the middle of the city center caused pure horror when it was built in Vienna: the Looshaus in the first district on Michaelerplatz.
When opulent Art Nouveau meets noble simplicity
It all began in 1909. At that time, the house was commissioned […]
Day trip Vienna to… Budapest
Austria and Hungary have a long history, and the two main cities, Vienna and Budapest, have much in common. And yet they could not be more different.
Since Budapest is only around 250km from Vienna, it is still possible to make a day trip. And it is worth seeing, in any case, almost a pity if you only have one day here.
I am also very much connected with Hungary because my father is Hungarian; therefore, part of my family lives in Hungary. And […]
