I was walking near our previous apartment when I passed by this Viennese pub. It's located near one of the main train stations, Westbahnhof. I never got the chance to dine there when we were living near there. Perhaps, I've often see men dining (and beers) :D but it is a  traditional pub that serves Viennese cuisine, definitely worth a try.

Another pavement showing the new slabs of stones around the city. This street goes to the Mozarthaus, the one where he lived in when he was an established composer and musician (birth house is in Salzburg).

   

Why not? Or my eyes might be blurry....

   

Still in the small bus that goes within the city...not a trace of dirt on the bus' back window. 

 

 

The photo posted yesterday was taken from the 57th floor of this black building, the DC Tower (Donau City). While this photo was taken when we were in the middle of the Danube river, in a small electric boat...it was on July 8, 2017...a day after a friend's wedding ceremony. The strip of buildings (can you spot umbrellas?) by the bank are either bars, restaurants and such for the enjoyment of visitors.

 

I've always been confused at the location of the entrance of this grand building, but no matter which side you look at it, it's always a beautiful piece.

 

If you've watched the movie Before Sunrise, the green roof and the stairs should be familiar. This is the Albertina building, a museum where the characters of Julie Delphy and Ethan Hawke spent some time before departing and going their separate ways. The green roof belongs to the Vienna Opera house, which can be seen from atop the Albertina's mezzanine.

Before Sunrise is one of the few movies set in Vienna, although I know for sure that is not possible to visit all the places they went to in just one day...I tried going to each of the locations, that's why. :) Oh, I mentioned that a blog post the other day, too. ^_^

One of the more famous squares in Vienna, or more like an open street where you could relax and watch people to pass time. The Schwarzenbergerplatz has a fountain installed with color-changing lights that makes it a good spot to take photos. A few steps away, you can find the Belvedere Palace and gardens. And depending on where you are going, the Akademie theatre, the Charles church and many other buildings of interest are just walking distance.

I've learned about the cruise ships docked at the Danube banks the past year, going around smaller circles, probably 7 cities within the rivers' stretch for a week. I enjoy going around there and watching the sky at times, never two scenes alike.

A view of the Belvedere Palace's garden from the museum. I've seen a lot of sky from this point of view and I love each and every one of them.
