(NOTES FROM VIENNA)

WALKING THE CITY

The best way to view the capital

of the once-grand Habsburg Empire is by foot.

The center of Vienna is skyscraper-free

and pedestrian friendly.

The city is dotted with quiet parks,

connected by quaint electric trams and

packed with 18th-century architecture & palaces.

In the center of old town is the famous

St. Stephens Cathedral.

If you get tired of walking, and need a rest,

you're never far from an outside cafe

for a coffee, beer or Sacher torte.

Vienna is a people watcher's dream!
