I hope this isn't insulting but what I know about Vienna is Vienna bread (my mom bought it), Vienna sausage (in the little can) and it’s known for music. Beethoven, Brahms, etc.
We thought about going to Austria in the spring but changed our mind. France was too expensive in the last part of August so we did some rearranging. We’ll be here a week.
We are staying in a building that is 125 years old. It is in the Währing district. It’s considered a suburb of Vienna.
It has an interesting history. It was one of the centers of Austrian resistance during World War 2. A Catholic priest and a local citizen organized a group. It passed on plans and production facilities of rockets, tanks and planes to the Allies. They were able to bomb the facilities and protect residential neighborhoods.
It is also on the edge of the Vienna forest, a 500 square mile forest. Within it are 2 cities, a mountain almost 3,000 feet high, 150 types of birds and 2000 plant species.
Other Vienna fun facts: (har)
1) The snow globe was invented in Vienna.
2) OPEC headquarters
3) It has 450 balls a year. Big dancers these folks.
4) Vienna boys choir has been around since 1498.
5) German word for Vienna is Wein. So you see the word here, there and everywhere.
6) The end.
