Moments in Vienna

Revisited a dear place. August. The Old meets the New in Vienna. Always a pleasure to return to this wonderful city, with something new to discover.

Vienna Museum Quarter has a new rooftop bar and platform, Libelle MQ, at the top of the Leopold Museum.

Spend a beautiful summer afternoon in the Museum Quarter , with lunch at “Corbaci” at Achitekturzentrum and coffee near “Museum of Modern Art Ludwig Foundation Vienna” or short, MUMOK, near a Litertur pasage under a portico, a new word learned in Bologna.

Other places with a view to be mentioned are Das Loft, in Schwedterplatz and Aurora Rooftop Bar, near Belvedere. Plus the rooftop bar on top of 25Hours Hotel, also in Museum Quarter, with a circus theme, where I stayed years ago.

Vienna revisited

Walked from Burggarten to Volksgarten, filled with roses and contemporary art at Theseustempel, through Heldenplatz until Hofburg Imperial Palace. So many cultural spaces per square meter! Nearby are Kunsthistorisches Museum, in Maria-Theresien-Platz, and Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, in Josefsplatz.
