This is my newest picture project.
Lots of people know the sights in Vienna's Inner City yet don't know that there are actually 23 districts in my city.
I am going to portray each and every of the districts in this series to make you familiar with the Real World Vienna.


LEOPOLDSTADT - 2nd district

Area: 19,27 km²
Pop.: 90.000
Leopoldstadt is one of the most diverse districts, with the huge forest/greenery areas of the Augarten in the north and the Prater in the south, occupying about half of the district's area and the very dense area in the north.




Gaußplatz, between the 20th and the 2nd district:
