Small and elevated wine shops |
Vienna, Vienna 1190 Austria +43 (0)1 21 1140 (Tourist Information) |
The Heiligenstädter Pfarrplatz, with its old church of St. Jakob and small houses, is quite romantic. It's lovely to take a walk along the small roads there. Near the famous Mayer am Pfarrplatz, whose wines are recommended in the Gault Millau, there are plenty of taverns (in Probusgasse), which are well worth a visit. A variety of guests visit here, both tourists and locals. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Shops: designed and designer |
Schottenfeldgasse 59/10 Vienna, Vienna 1070 Austria +43 1 5 2203 6612 http://www.kohlmarkt.co.at/ |
With a magnificent view of the copper dome of the Michaelertor entrance to Hofburg, the pedestrianized Kohlmarkt is the Vienna equivalent of Bond Street, home to the likes of Gucci, Cartier and Dunhill. Apart from these temples of top class consumerism, there are also shop fronts designed by some of the leading names of 20th century architecture such as Adolf Loos's modernist Manz bookshop, Max Fabiani's Jugendstil Artariahaus housing, the Freytag & Berndt mapmakers and two shops by leading contemporary Austrian architect Hans Hollein at nos. 7 and 8-10. Not to be missed either is the Demel at no. 14, pastry cooks to the Habsburgs. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Students Show off Their Skills |
Michaelerplatz 1 Vienna, AT A 1010 Austria +43 1 533 90 31 0 http://www.srs.at |
Visitors are invited to partake in the many performances given by students at the Spanish Riding School. The horses and their riders are put through two years of aggresive equestrian training and the performances are the spoils of their hard work. The horses are available for adoption (annual donations) and tours are offered as well. Review © 2007, Wcities |
