I was in Vienna last summer. I absolutelly loved it. Do you have pics of old town?

I like photographs 1 and 3 especially: motion vs stasis in each of them.

Not that many as of now but a few will follow within the next 30 mins. Be prepared, though, to see places and sights you might not have seen as a tourist.

(perhaps I am wrong though.)
:dunno:

OK, they will follow tomorrow. Sorry, no time now. :sleepy:
Good night.

One of the Inner City is now on the contest page, does not perform too well, but, I'm new, I need experience. :bowtie:

I haven't been in Vienna since 2 1/2 years. Damn... :bash:

I spent one year there and went back regularly.

well atleast you have been in Vienna, i haven't :cry:

Awesome...I miss Vienna, I used to live there for a couple of years but had to leave one day unfortunately.

I also lived there from 1993 to 1997. Now, I'm back in Warsaw. I still like Vienna very much though and try to go there every time I have an opportunity. The two cities are so different - Warsaw is my clear winner in some aspects, but in other categories (like e.g. quality of roads and public transport), Vienna is so much better. A great city where I spent an important period of my life.

Yes its a beautiful city.. I was there last month.. U can also check out my vienna picture thread at http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=259544

if the biggest cemetery of Europe is in Vienna, the second has to be in Szczecin, Poland

Possible. I don't know, though.

good pictures! thanks

Gee! Cemetaries, huge parking lots, graffitti and commie-blocks! Is this the "best" Vienna has to offer? I am sure Vienna's fame as a pretty city isn't based on these factors. If so, then I only have to drive down to South Seattle or Tacoma to see that kind of "beauty". Why go all the way to Vienna!

Majestic is the word that comes to mind. Very impressive, thanks for posting.

edit.

pictures down

Got freakin Pain in my knees climbing up the 400+ Stairs of the tower of St Stephans Cathedral.. The the View from the top was worth it though..

I made that experience too - But it's good to do some sports anyway. ;)

Stefanguti, this is the best set of Vienna pics I have seen on this forum! Thanks.

I was in Vienna in late 2006 and was mesmerized by the city. I have found that medium-size cities in Europe are very attractive and have a pace that is easy to appreciate. All of the photos are appreciated.

Stefanguti, this is the best set of Vienna pics I have seen on this forum! Thanks.

Glad, that you like it!


Vauxhall: Have you done a Europe trip? Do you have pictures of Vienna?

I so miss Vienna. :(
The nightlife was awesome

and that Sacha cake.

Definitely sun. I hate the snow.

Amazing pictures by the both of you, good work!

RBS: Ich würde die Bilder nicht so groß hochladen. Bisschen kleiner. Wirkt netter!

Nice pictures,
makes me more to get my first DSLR cam soon as possible and shoot my first pictures in Vienna's centre.

Go on, Anekdote!

I would normally post some more now, but I lost my cam (and, as if that wasn't enough, I had my MP3-Player, sunglasses, city map and a university book in that very same bag as well :bash:)

I guess life really sucks sometimes.

Mehr auf die andere Seite fotografieren!
Trotzdem nice.

Great aerial shots, Vienna is certainly a very interesting city! What is the name of the accumulation of skyscrapers?

Vienna DC or Donau City

Very good pictures, and very nice city!:)

Loved Vienna when I was there for one month ago. One of the best looking cities in europe for sure. Incredible buildings, both historical and modern and very nice maintence.

Perfect pictures! The weather could have been much worse. :)

(die größte Überraschung ist der Fotograf, denn ich kenne ihn - aber anscheinend nicht gut genug ;) )

Heading towards Judenplatz from Wipplingerstraße:

http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/1644/dsc05977editedjo5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Four buildings of different styles: on the left a neo classical house from the beginning of the 19th century, next to it a gothic house called "Zum großen Jorden" from the middle of the 15th century and a baroque building from the end of the 17th century. The house on the right side was build at the end of the 19th century.

View into a truly baroque street like many in the inner city of Vienna, that´s why the city is sometimes called the center of baroque:

The "Böhmische Hofkanzlei", the "headquarter" of the rulers of Bohemia, a baroque building by the famous baroque architect Fischer von Erlach, which designed many baroque Palais in Vienna:

The part of the 1st district between the Ring and the Zweierlinie (the northwesternmost blocks) are far less touristy and less congested than the rest of the center, but, due to the heavy monolithic 19th-century buildings and the straight streets, it looks even grander.

This monstrosity (a university building) wouldn't fit anywhere else in the 1st district but here.

As a contrast to all my ordinary straight-forward pictures I usually post (to illustrate the city in the most realistic way - After all I want you to feel as if you were here.) I decided to show 20 pictures that are quite artistic and rather...well, I don't know. ;)

I love your pictures, Vienna looks so diverse and old-school in some sort, especially the "modern" buildings!
Great job!

The Gürtel (belt) is one of Vienna's busiest throughfare roads and it divides the outer and the inner districts of the western part of Vienna. It used to be an area infamous for crime, prostitution and was considered one of the worst areas to live, however, in the past few years, efforts have been made to turn the Gürtel (especially the northwestern part) into a lively and vibrant entertainment and culture hotspot.

I love the "Gürtel" in some special sort. Of course, there´s a lot of crime and prostitution compared to other places in Vienna, but especially the old "Gründerzeit" buildings between Westbahnhof and Nussdorferstraße represent the "old school" Vienna, many of them are unrenovated, I like that ;) !

Thanks for the pictures!

Awesome Vienna

...

Die 300mm Bilder erzeugen einen sehr interessanten Effekt: die Stadt wirkt viel urbaner.

Don't you just love train stations and their surroundings?

Yeah, we do have elections coming up (tomorrow) and I can't wait for all those stupid ads to disappear.

It's interesting how the weather can change the appearance of a city.
I took the following pics only two days ago and they radiate November atmosphere.

Let me take you to a place that was largely unknown to me, as well: The northeastern district of Floridsdorf and Vienna's biggest mosque.

Crossing the Danube:

The A21 motorway passes right next to the mosque:

Interestingly, the mosque was built in a place where hardly any muslims actually reside. The neighborhood is filled with these depressing-looking white-bread houses:

Alte Donau, a former branch of the Danube, the Great Stream, today used as a lovely recreational area:

Thousands of people pass here each day on their daily commute into Vienna's center:

Belvedere palace. Austria's State Treaty was signed here - re-establishing Austria's souvereignity in 1955 after seven years of Nazi rule and ten years of Allied occupation.
