Austria: Along the Danube
Austria: Along the Danube
Once Sissy steamed down the Danube, on the way to becoming queen of Austria. From her birthplace Bavaria all the way to Vienna people along the river cheered. Now it's tourists who go downstream. Most of them not by boat, not even by car. Along the Danube the bicycle is favourite.

Nothing in Vienna is being photographed more often then the gold plated statue of Johann Strauß in the Stadtpark. It's the King of Waltz who is behind the fable of the blue Danube, by the way.

'Shopping arcade by Hundertwasser.'
In 1990-91 opposite the Hundertwasserhaus a turn-of-the-century house was converted into an irregularly-shaped shopping arcade by Peter Pelikan and Friedensreich Hundertwasser in Hundertwasser's typical imaginative design. You can have a drink here as well, there is a restaurant and absolutely don't forget to go to the toilet.
