Vienna part 1

travel videos & photos at: townsofeurope.... with text, maps & links.
Vienna is a historic yet modern city -- a living museum of monuments and memories connected to a long rich history, but also a sophisticated place with glamorous shops and cutting-edge design. It is a romantic place alive with the music of Mozart, Haydn, Strauss and Beethoven, enriched by the legacy of the immensely wealthy Hapsburg dynasty who created some of the worlds finest palaces, opera houses, museums, parks, fountains, public architecture and grand promenades. The Hapsburgs ruled over much of the Western world during several centuries from their huge palace, which today is one of Viennas main visitor attractions with its many museums and several concert halls.
As always in our three-day approach, we present the major tourist sights that you should not miss, then point you to the little back alleys and minor attractions where you can get away from the tourist mobs and discover the real heart and soul of the city. Wandering in the little quiet lanes can be a profoundly moving experience -- if you pick the right places and dont just randomly get lost in some boring streets, so come along with us as we show you the best routes for making the most of your time

[@karlakomorebi]

[@christsmasher1]

It seems like a lovely city. I'd like to visit Vienna. Greetings from Bavaria!

[@denniscallan]

Quality of life in Vienna is at or near the top of most world rankings, making it a wonderful place to live and also to visit -- you should stay at least three days.

[@msadiq555]

Very nice video, thanks for uploading.

[@moodyplus]

I want the real deal Vienna along with museums!

[@unwhackII]

i love when people come to my city, walk around the first district (there are 23 districts and the first one is one of the smallest), maybe have a trip to schönbrunn palace, and think they have seen vienna... anyways. hope you enjoyed your trip anyway!

[@khdkhd111]

i went there on summer vacation it was so nice i hope that everyone can visit it

[@wellbeingpromotor1157]

I love Vienna and I would like to live there.

[@moodyplus]

Thank you so much for the great information! I will be there at the end of next month in time for Christmas!

[@bebetigre1252]

wow all those tourists in your group so strong pulling their own luggage,many of us can not do that anymore.

[@denniscallan]

It happens to all if we're lucky, getting old. That's why my tour biz is winding down - my loyal customers are getting too old for that, but really, with a decent suitcase you can walk a mile to your hotel -- I'm still doing it, with all my camera gear too!

[@ReiseWorld]

so great, we like your personal video style :-)

[@moodyplus]

Thank you, my friend! That's very helpful!

[@TheJutsch98]

My beloved treasure of a city :')

[@ozonakama]

[@timothybachtiar2533]

Vienna is the best city in Europe beside Praha. ^___^.

[@CarlosCrisps]

Happy Europe Day!

[@vanKrapfen]

Yes, the place is called "Little Buddha". Its a restaurant/sushi bar by day and a cocktail bar by night.

[@unwhackII]

some places to go then: the belvedere (3rd dirstrict, it's an amazing castle an also a museum for history and art), schoenbrunn palace of course (13th district), schloss hetzendorf (12th district), grinzing (its a part of the 19th district, very old fashioned and famous for its wines and food), kahlenberg, cobenzl, lainzer tiergarten (amazing nature areas in the city area with a great view over the city), the old jewish quarter in the 2nd district, the uno city (modern part of the city

[@denniscallan]

yes, I sometimes use a Steadicam, the Merlin model made by Tiffin

[@moodyplus]

Schloss schobrunnd is the summer palace right? I'll be staying near there! Thanks for the advice!

[@unwhackII]

depends on you. you want a classic tourist expierence with museums and the most famous sightseeing locations? or do you want see more of the "real" vienna? or are you more of a younger person who wants to go out, night clubs etc..?

[@denniscallan]

tough question...so many great places. OK, how about those little lanes just west of Kartnerstrasse, Schonelantergasse to Balgasse, at twilight; or outside Karlskirche at twilight; and just walking along Graben and Kohlmarkt any time, and of course the fine art museum, Kunsthistorischeshaus, looking at Vermeer. Vienna is superb in every way. No accident the Austrian economy is weathering the storm better than elsewhere...

[@moodyplus]

Hi local guy, can you recommend other interesting places we can go outside of the first district?

[@naryma7874]

8:08 You walked past the Griechenbeisl and didn't mention the strange figure in a hole in the floor there? It's called "Lieber Augustin" and is very famous urban legend. 11:20 That place is called "Freyung" and not "Am Hof". So you did a great job in going through the first district of Vienna avoiding all the main attractions like Stephansdom, Votivkirche, Hofburg, city hall, parlament, opera house, Burgtheather, Museumsquartier, Maria am Gestade - and these are just the attractions you could have seen within 5min of where you had been.

[@denniscallan]

Thanks for your comments, very entertaining. I do have other movies about Vienna which cover some of those places you mention. On my tour we do stay for 3 days, so during my 7 previous visits I have a a good chance to see this wonderful city, but have not yet edited all the material. Now I am going back again in a few months to shoot more, looking for anything I missed in your helpful list, thanks.

[@unwhackII]

hope i could help you a bit, if you wanna know more just ask. and sorry i dont know that much museums but there should be a lot information available on the internet!) enjoy your trip if you come to vienna, it has a lot to offer!

[@klemensking]

In the back of the Gutenberg monument: Wüstenrot insurance headquaters. two chinese characters, i don't know actural meaning, but directly translater to english is "small Buddha"

[@heldersufiano2816]

you are right

[@RealH0rr0rsh0w]

I once heard that Vienna is the best European city because it's like Paris without the French people.

[@denniscallan]

@speaktheworld at 6:06 we're at Gutenberg Square, no Chinese characters on it....maybe you mean somewhere else, but I wouldn't know anyway about Chinese characters in Vienna.... Dennis

[@unwhackII]

than you should check out some of the "christkindlmarkts" tradiotional marktes all over the city which only are there around christmas time... the most famous one are in front of schloss schöbrunnd and the one in front of the city hall in the 1st district at the "rathaus"

[@unwhackII]

with some skyscrapers) some "real" vienna: just walk around the 16th district (especially at "brunnenmarkt", a very cool market place) or naschmarkt ( a more fancy market in the 6th/5th district with specialities from all over the world) or walk around the 20th, 17th, 21th, 12th district: traditional working class districts with a high population (some areas can be dangnerous at nighttime there, watch out.. but not as dagnerous as LA for example so dont worry too much..)

[@BenTennison16]

[@CoolPixx23]
