In Vienna from 22 March 2009 on an assignment to IAEA, and with many holidays in the last one month, I spent a lot of time on the streets and Schloss (Palace) grounds. Each of the three schlosses of Vienna have their unique characteristics. Hofburg Imperial Palace rise above the Roman ruins. Before the Romans, it was a Celtic habitation. Danube flows a bit away from the city centre - Innere Stadt, unlike maybe in other cities such as Budapest and Bartislava. The river front in Vienna thus is not that lively as other places. Schloss Schoenbrunn is the outlying hunting estate modified later on as a palace. Roman ruins, thoughartificial, grace this place too. Perhaps a good walking ground on a sunny day, ancient culture could be hiding in the depths here t00.
