Reise nach Wien: day 17 (15 March)

Posted on by

A visit to the Vienna Museum. There is so much there to make people think, especially about how land could and should be used. I don[‘t think my pictures have captured much of what I saw and felt.

Today’s journey, according to cyclemeter

  • Walk to nearby Cafe Aida
  • Walk to Franz-Josefs-Bahnhof
  • tram D to Karlsplatz
  • walk to musum
  • wonder around, fascinated by the displays on social history since 1900
  • coffee-break in the nearby Tude und Tochter
  • more fascination
  • return home
