#Vienna #Review The final post about Vienna, where I spent a modest 4 days, but gained a lot of good impressions! I want to start by saying that this is one of the most beautiful big cities in Europe. I can't imagine my life in a small town, so I always…
#Vienna I think most Russian-speaking readers, like me, imagine Orthodox churches as white stone buildings with large golden domes. But after several trips to various European countries, I've concluded that the type of ornamentation shown in the photo is…
#Vienna An unconventional way to light up your street😁
#Vienna Many houses in the center of Vienna clearly look either new or restored. How do they manage to do this?) The answer didn't take long to come - on the very first day, I came across a crane working right in the middle of a residential area, and a team…
#Vienna Compact courtyards, helping to slightly escape from the sometimes oppressive monumentality of the city.
#Vienna A few more fragments from the central street Graben, with the beautiful Peter's Church and St. Stephen's Cathedral.

#Vienna To be honest, there are still "works of art" by European modernists near my accommodation. It's clear that they're repainting them regularly, but the buildings still look quite dull. They could at least slap some art on the bare walls.
#Vienna It's really hard to choose accommodation in a city you've never been to, but it's actually hard to go wrong with Vienna - I didn't see any bad areas here. Of course, the prices are steep - 84 USD per night for a studio apartment outside the central…
The next city on my European route was the capital of Austria - #Vienna. The snow-white facades of majestic houses in the classical style immediately identify this city. Every second building in the center seems like a small palace that accidentally turned…
