I found that is not true, everyone in Vienna speaks English, it is learned in the school, many also speak French and people are very helpful. A policemen can be found speaking several languages.
This city is for me one of the more beautiful cities in the world. The buildings, the atmosphere, the history surrounding is very nice. However, I found to big problems: there are a lot of "pick pockets", including in the restaurants, and it is difficult to find people who wants to speak english or spanish. The locals only speaks a ...

Vienna - nice place to visit, great place to live in
I think that, in order to take full advantage of what Vienna has to offer, a simple few days trip will not be enough. It's definitely not the kind of city to visit in a "marathon" of site seeing. There are many things to see and do here and most of them need time to be enjoyed without feeling pressure from your ...

Vienna - Located in the heart of Europe
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/21/07
I used to live in Vienna and I still love to go there. In spring it is great to stroll through the beautiful parks, with beautiful gardens filled with flowers. It's also easy to hop on a train and be in the foothills just outside of Vienna such as Baden or Mödling. There you can find many hiking trails. Vienna has much to offer to those who ...
Take in an opera, and set your mind back to those days of refined manners and elegant behavior when you visit this city, especially during the winter ball season. But-if you're more like me-you'd visit Vienna in mid-summer, bike all around the city, and hang out with some of the counter-culture locals. Yep, I said counter-culture. Vienna ...

amazing country side
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/04/07
i reALLY LOVED THE WEATHER AND SUCH BUT I REALLY LIKED THE COUNTRY SIDE MORE THAN THE CITY I MEAN I REALLY HATED THE CITY
ABSOLUTE RIP OFF. Do not be conned by the free wine and desserts. The final presentation of the bill will leave you staggering with items unordered. DO NOT give them the privilege of your business.
Vienna is the perfect place where to spend your Christmas. The sparkling lights on the streets will guide you to the most famous Christmas Market at the Rathausplatz (City Hall Square) where i recommend you to try the special Gluhwine (warm spiced wine). You can enjoy your spirit with a classical Christmas concert at the Hofburg Palace and visit ...
