Very nice shots.
I don't like the Donaucity Cluster at all, but the Wienerberg cluster looks nice :okay:

Great pics mate!

Vienna is a great example on how you CAN have highrises and scrapers in a traditional beautiful old city!


Keep up the good work!

Is it called Donaucity or Donuastadt?

Donaustadt is the name of the 22nd district. Donaucity is the neogerman term for the mid-rise cluster, which is just a small part of the district.
