Vienna has boats and ships & more…
Summertime and water somehow belong together. Vienna is (unfortunately) still not by the sea, but that’s no reason to miss out on exciting water-related activities.
How about boating?
So today’s focus is on boating, yes exactly, because there is a really fine offer in Vienna where you can combine several things at once. But first things first.
As you know, Vienna is located on the Danube and a “branch” of it is the Danube Canal, which flows through the city center. This means there […]
Attention fish is crossing!
Vienna as a marine biology research center… Yes, this was a real plan.
How it all began …
Now maybe you are thinking that this is a contradiction in terms since Vienna and the sea do not fit together. So, you combine an old, anit-aircraft tower (built 1942-1945) with marine biological research to establish Vienna as the center for this topic. 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 such as Schönbrunn Palace to modern architecture by contemporary visionaries. Many of these buildings tell their own very special story. Which can sometimes be very moving and emotional.
A well-known building in the middle of the city center caused pure horror in Vienna when it was built: the Looshaus in the first district on Michaelerplatz.
When opulent Art Nouveau meets noble […]
Day trip Vienna to… Budapest
Austria and Hungary – these two countries share a long history and the two capitals, Vienna and Budapest, also have a few things in common. And yet they couldn’t be more different.
Budapest is only around 250 km away from Vienna and is therefore also suitable for a day trip. It’s definitely worth seeing, almost a shame if you only plan to spend a day here.
I also have a lot of family ties with Hungary, because my dad is Hungarian and so part of […]
Austria Guides for Future – experience the future of the city
Vienna is a versatile, multi-faceted city. From the imperial heritage to exciting new projects that point the way to the future. But much of it is still little known, sometimes even undiscovered. The Austria Guides for Future are now making part of this visible.
I recently met Cristina-Estera Klein. She and a few other Austria Guides came together in the middle of the Corona year 2020, when the whole world came to a standstill, and founded Austria Guides for Future. To […]
