Images from Vienna, 2001

Cecilie, Marton and I stopped off in Vienna for a day on the way from Hungary to Denmark. The architecture was beautiful, but after the combination of frantic excitement and laid-back mellowness in Budapest, I found Vienna to be expensive, uptight and oppressive. In all fairness, I was tired after the week in Hungary and my tolerance must have been pretty low. I'd like to go back and experience it again, but not perhaps until I see some other cities first. Vienna's main opera house. Interior of the opera house. A fairytale castle in Vienna. Images of some of the better examples of 19th century architecture in the city. I usually go for more modern styles, but there were so many of these masterpieces in the city, it was difficult to remember which structure was which.   Back to the index page
