Entertainment & Activities
Votiv-Kino
12 Währinger Str.Old Viennese Art House Cinema very close to my home.
The BURG KINO in Vienna, founded in 1912, is one of the oldest cinemas worldwide which are still in operation. Ever since the silent film era, the Burg Kino has shown the chief works of the most important directors (C. Chaplin, B. Keaton, F. Lang, F.W. Murnau, S. Eisenstein) and was one of the first cinemas in Austria to implement the change from silent to sound film.
It is stilling showing the famous "Dritter Mann" - " Third Man" movie daily!

The Volksgarten and Burggarten are close by and you can reach them by food. I love the Rose garden and like to sit in the grass in front of the Theseus Temple.
These gardens ("Burggarten") were once the private gardens of Emperor Franz Joseph I., the husband of the Empress Sisi. In 1919, three years after the monarch's death, the Burggarten was opened to the public.
The gardens of the Imperial Palace also contain the Palm House, one of the most beautiful art nouveau glass houses. This tropical oasis includes the Butterfly House where hundreds of exotic butterflies reside today, along with a very atmospheric coffee house and restaurant.

Heavenly views from the Kahlenberg!
If you have a little more time and want to flee the hustle of the city, make a trip to the Cobenzl restaurant at Kahlenberg.
The Kahlenberg is located in the Vienna Woods and is one of the most popular excursion destinations for the city’s residents. This is mainly because of the stunning view afforded by the Kahlenberg: on clear days, one can not only see the entire city from above, but even the Schneeberg, where Vienna’s mountain spring water comes from.
