'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!

'Stift Melk, the Power of Baroque.'
The monks themselves criticised the unchristian wallowing in architectural exubarance of their new monastery. But it had to be, to impress in face of Protestantism, that even in Melk had the upper hand in those days. Now, centuries later, the monastery is still a must: 300.000 tourists a year visit Austria's largest baroque structure.

'Augustine Chorherr in St. Florian.'
Gernot Grammer is one of the Augustine Chorherren of the St. Florian monastery. The monks do not really belong to a mendicant order; it's wealth whereever you look, like in this sumptuous staircase. During a guided tour you'll see marmor of all colours and a baroque library without any straight line.

'Pictured with the king of waltz.'
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.

'Wine and food directly at the grower.'
East of Krems you find many Kellergassen, like here in Rohrendorf. These are sunken roads lined with wine cellars buried in the earth, where winegrowers offer wine and a good Jausen (harty food).
