Street scene in old town |
 |
Vienna's Rathaus, made up for the International Film Festival |
 |
It faces the Hofburg Theatre, with a park and huge food court in between the two |

Food court |

The Rathaus restaurant, where, in 1989, I had my first cream of garlic soup; no longer on the menu... |
 |
Vienna plague monument |
 |
Midnight ride of Franz Josef I, Rathaus in background |
 |
The Hofburg, Austria's answer to Versailles (well, technically, I guess that would be the Schoenbrunn, a few miles out in the woodburbs); we went to the Hofburg in 89, so skipped it this time |
 |
Mozart gets a nice statue, near the opera, but he has to share this town with Haydn, Beethoven, Gluck, Mahler, Schoenberg, all the Strauss's, et al. |
