Vienna Attractions

Good way to shop.

Advantages: Excellent mix of shops and restaurants
Disadvantages: Lack of position indicators/locators and Info Desks

I agree with Michael's report and views. I could not have said it better myself. The only downfall of the entire complex is that I found it difficult to navigate through....wierd 'cos I am a shopaholic and used to BIG malls. Ther seems to be a sense of "where am I?" on the end of the mall which is the end opposite to where IKEA is. They have few "locator boards" and virtually no Info points/desks on site and if they do, they are not well demarkated. ...
...tricky as you come off the Autobahn as is getting back ont it. Just follow your nose and use a bit of common sense and you'll end up right where you need to be....just take loads of spending money with you. Eating/Restaurant facilities are good so watch those kilograms! Enjoy!! Erich ...

Review of SCS - Shopping City Süd (Vienna)

P and C - Pricey and Classy

Advantages: Reliable quality, good range of designer clothing
Disadvantages: Service could be better.

There are two branches of Peek and Cloppenburg in Vienna, although the one I intend to concentrate on is the one on the Mariahilferstrasse (number 26-30 on the corner of Stiftgasse). It is easy to get to, being 250m from the U3 stop at Neubaugasse and about 400m from the U2 stop Museumsquartier (formerly named Babenburgerstraße). Having lived in Vienna for nearly four years I have managed to get quite a few good bargains here, although you have to ...
...card. Update - October 2004: Peek und Cloppenburg may soon be changing its policy to allow owners of Austrian Maestro cards to use their debit cards in-store. That will be a big relief for me, rather than raiding bank machines before going shopping. The reason I choose to go to P&C is because of the wide range of designer labels that they have there. I tend to stick to a few tried and tested labels, with Calvin Klein, Burberry, Hugo Boss and Ralph ...

Review of Peek and Cloppenburg (Vienna)

Visit the Medl with a Mädl

Advantages: Cheap beer, good food
Disadvantages: not very central

The title will require a bit of explanation – namely that “Mädl” is a commonly used dialect term for a “girl” – probably akin to “lass” in English. Well I indeed went to the Medl Bräu with a Mädl. For those with any knowledge of German, you’ll know that of course the place is a brewery, and of course brewery means beer. So being taking to a brewery by a lady-friend must come quite close to paradise for most guys! Unlike many of the places that I ...
...central, being tucked away in the backend of the city, in Penzing, but nevertheless is reachable by public transport, with a short walk (well 10 minutes) from Ober St Veit on the U4, by taking the 52 tram or the 49, down the Linzerstraße, and the Medl Bräu is located at 275 Linzerstrasse (and yes you’re right if you think that in theory that you’d get to Linz if you carried on down the Linzerstrasse for long enough!). The story goes that the owner, ...

Review of Medl-Bräu

Musician's Graves

Advantages: Fantasic monuments and carvings
Disadvantages: Feels a little morbid

I was a little unsure about writing this particular review, Vienna’s Central Cemetery, Zentralfriedhof. Where to start? As part of my family history research, I often go “grave wandering” as my son calls it. This may seem a little morbid and strange. But the connection I feel from visiting an ancestor’s grave is undeniably strong. And this too, was one of the main reasons for visiting Vienna’s cemetery, the final resting place of my idols, the musicians ...
...connection. The central cemetery lies on the southern outskirts of the city and can be reached by tram, numbers 71 or 72. The trams run at frequent intervals and the journey takes about 10 minutes. The Central Cemetery opened in the year 1874. The buildings were designed by the German architects Mylius and Bluntschi . In 1881 the Viennese council decided to dedicate the centre of the cemetery to 'famous personalities’. These honour graves, as they ...

The zoo Schönbrunn in Vienna is the most ancient Zoo world wide! This is my first english review. I write since more years at Ciao Germany, but I need English practice. At this reason I try to write here. Please apologize some grammar mistakes. The Zoo Schönbrunn in Vienna have every year approx. 2 Million visitors! History ~~~~~~~~~~ As I wrote at the begin the Zoo Schönbrunn is the oldest world wide. It was found in the year 1570 as animal ...
...Empress Maria Theresia founded the Zoo 1752. (rebuild 1751). At the begin started the Zoo with only 12 enclosures, one administration building and one little grounds. In the year 1781 received the Zoo beast of preys. This matter made the Zoo popular. I can remember me to my gound school time. At this time the beast of preys did not had very much space. But currently they have much space and every day the visitors can take a look to the feeding. ...
