'Vienna flair.'

Many clichés about Vienna are true, but one has turned wrong: that Vienna is droll. After the fall of the Berlin Wall suddenly Vienna wasn't a provincal town at the edge of Europe anymore, but a metropole in its heart. The last ten years the rejuvenation has accelerated. Vienna has flair like in the old days! Photo Paul Smit

'Winegrowers family Kitzler, a Welcome Ticket B & B.'

Federal state Niederösterreich has developed a great way to travel freely: the Welcome Ticket. With this voucher system, you enjoy freedom and independence in planning your travels. You choose when you want to travel and for how long. You can take any route and stay overnight wherever you please – two nights in one place, three in another. Or you can spend your entire holiday with just one host.  A voucher costs 20 euros (children 11) and opens the door to 270 B&B's, farms, pensions and hotels, like this B&B of the Kitzlers in Rohrendorf. Halfboard or three star accomodations cost 2 vouchers. Moreover, the voucher accomodations stay open all year round. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01670] 'Gardens of Isola Bella.'  Mother and daughter overlooking Isola Bella, the 'beautiful island', main sight of the Lago Maggiore. It is a man made piece of art. The garden is an ode to rationality, typical for the baroque. Strong geometry and symmetry typify the terraces rising high above the lake, adorned with statues and balustrades. At the same time the garden breathes surrealism. You can find lines of sight where the symmetry seems to dissolve. Then you seem to have encountered a stair pyramid in the jungle, designed by Salvador Dali. Photo Paul Smit.
