But then, we passed this royal palace we'd previously visited in Rome? Or maybe it was in Paris?
But we must trust our maps: this is Vienna. It's a beautiful city filled with grandiose architecture ('Baroque' I guess you'd call it), wide boulevards and a confusing system of bike paths and pedestrian sidewalks.
Truly distinguishing this city from other European capitals are a few buildings designed by the Viennese architect Hundertwasser:
Hundertwasserhaus. Some apartments have "tree tenants" who "pay their rent in much more valuable currency than humans." |
Toilets at KunstHausWien (art gallery). The floors are uneven on purpose since "the straight line is godless." |
