tribute to mozart...before the rain
Parliament House...it's actually pouring in this photo
the tram...i rode the 1 train from end to end, then hopped on the 2 train and rode that from end to end

one more big building
Then i got sick of the rain and opted to coffee myself around the capital. Finding a suitable place proved tricky; there were hundreds of options all filled with locals. For that, i loved Vienna.

cake heaven
I think the best thing about Viennese cafes was the open invite to loiter long after the coffee was done. Couples, coworkers and individuals came in, talked, read and sat for hours on end enjoying the caffeine and company. Magazines, magazine holders and free newspapers decked the walls for customers and there was absolutely no rush to go anywhere.
I ended my stay in Vienna this way, hedged in close to a wall by a rowdy group of old men who drank espresso after espresso over the course of two hours.

"one more big building" is the Rathaus (city hall). I remember it having a crazy amount of statuary on its face and a very big, empty plaza in front of it.
